Mac user account locked out in Microsoft Active Directory

Hi,
I have some users who get their user account locked out several times a day.
It seems to be an issue with the keychain.
Our users need to change their password every 90 days domain GPO applied on every users.
Do you know how to fix this issue?
I have notice that most of the time this happens when the Mac wakes up from sleep mode while still connected to the network and when the users try to re login.
Thank you.

Hi Nicky
I had a very similar problem a while back. It turned out that I had another device trying to retrieve mail from the corporate account. in my case it was an iPod that was just sitting on charge for weeks at a time but was accessing the Exchange server with the wrong password, after having changed it due to the same password policy you use. Of course after a set number of tries, the AD locked the account.
I always remember to change my iPhone password now

OIM 11gR2 - Push/Pull account locked out information from Active Directory

Hi
At this moment, we are using the default reconciliation method from the Active Directory Connector in OIM 11G R2 to fetch incremental information from AD. This runs every 15 minutes.
However, the customer complains that the time from which the user gets himself locked out due to too many failed login attempts, until it shows up on the OIM account is too long. Worst case, this could be 15 minutes after the user gets himself locked out.
Do anyone have any tips on how we could either push this information from AD-side, or pull this information from OIM more often? Could we create a special scheduled job that just looks for Locked Accounts, and reconciles this each minute?
Best Regards

Hi,
Sure, that's definitely possible. You can use the Active Directory cmdlets to retrieve this information. Here's an example of reading input from a text file (just usernames in the text file):
Get-Content .\userList.txt | ForEach {
Get-ADUser -Identity $_ -Properties EmailAddress
You can also read input from a CSV file quite easily. This example assumes a header of Username:
Import-Csv .\userList.csv | ForEach {
Get-ADUser -Identity $_.Username -Properties EmailAddress
Finally, here's a link to the Get-ADUser syntax:

ODM User account locking out daily

Hello,
I have a user in my ODM that has his account locked out almost daily. I have the server set to disable after 5 invalid attempts. I can't seem to find in the logs where the attempts are coming from. He has even been away from his laptop for the entire day only to find his account locked. Is there anywhere in the logs I can find out more information about where they are originating?
Thanks,
JL

Thanks,
It does initially look like his iPhone might be the culprit. We have his settings set perfectly and I am getting DIGEST-MD5 authentication succeeded in the ApplePasswordServer.Server log. I noticed before it failed, it was listing DIGEST-MD5 authentication failed, SASL error -13 (password incorrect). It seems I was relying too much on SA's log viewer so I went to the server and used console which shed more light on the issue.
I will let this ride for a day or two before closing out and awarding points.
Thanks

User accounts locking out.

I have recently upgraded to APEX 3.1.0.00.32 and have discovered that my users are now able to lock themselves out of my app.
I found settings both at the apex level as well as the workspace level to disable this feature, however the accounts are still locking out. Is there a setting somewhere else that I need to change?
Thanks,
Joel

Kathryn,
The feature has no Disable/Enable control. It can be required of workspaces (toggled at the site level) with respect to the epiration/locking policy for end-user accounts, or not. If not required, individual workspaces can enable or disable the feature, again, with respect to end user account expiration and locking.
For developer/admin accounts, the feature is always "on". If you prefer a longer expiration period, say 24 years, set the Account Password Lifetime (days) value to 8766. If you want to allow a large number, say 1000, of invalid consecutive password attempts, set the Maximum Login Failures Allowed value to 1000.

User account locked out in IAS Server.

Hi,
Windows Server 2003 stand-alone with IAS Server working as a RADIUS Server for WIFI connections.
There is a domain user account that keeps locking out randomly a few times a day.
This user account doesn't show up within the IAS server log file.
The Audit Policy is enabled in the w2k3 server for Succes, Failure and the events below comes up for every locking,
The Caller User Name is the IAS Server machine account.
I had to enable in the DCs the Netlogon debug mode to get the lock outs source, that turns out to be the IAS Server.
This is quite strange as I can't find the user account within the IAS Server log.
Could anybody clues me in on this issue?
Thak you.

it seems to me the user is logged on to some computer with an expired password. The computer attempts to connect to wifi and thus authenticate using the users expired credentials.
Ask the user to reboot all of the computers he uses. If the problem persists, check if the user has open sessions on other machines and check the configuration of the wireless network on the client.

How to copy information from a user account's Security tab of Active Directory User and Computer Security tab to another user account?

Hi, I'm using vs2012
Grammatically, by C# code, I need to copy a user account's Security (from ADUC Security tab) and apply it to a new user account I created by code. My application creates new AD accounts when needed. I need to duplicate/copy attribute from another
user account that we use as a base template. I can copy most other attributes through property["xxxxx"] but how do I copy all that permission access information under the ADUC Security tab?
How can I do that? Thank you.
Thank you

I would recommend asking them in C# forums: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=csharpgeneral&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc

User account is removed from a Active directory security group (server 2008 R2) after a day

Hello !
i add many times a user in a AD security group, but the user is removed automatically after a day. What i don't understand is that other users have been added to the same group but they are still in the group (there is no problem with their accounts).
To add this user that is always removed after a day (or a period), i use the member of tab in the account properties.
Right click on the user account -> properties-> member of -> add -> groupName->ok
Thank you for your help !!

Greetings!

Oracle Enterprise Repository User account locked out

Hi,
I installed Oracle Enterprise Repository 11g and tried logging into its web console by opening http://host:port/oer. I gave the wrong credentials and the account got locked. I went into weblogic web consle under security > myrealm but dont see the user admin. I then went to wls_web_console > Domain
Can someone please tell me how to unlock it....
Regards,
Anant

This should do the trick.
1. Stop OER
2, Login to DB using OER user
3. update ENTSECUSERS set ACTIVESTATUS=0 where USERNAME='xxxxxxxx';
4. Need to get the entsecuserid value from entsecusers table and column ID,
5. update CMEEUSERS set ACTIVESTATUS=0 where ENTSECUSERID='id value';
6. Restart OER

MacBook Pro Causing Account Lock-Out in Active Directory

Dear fellow forumers,
I'm having a MacBook Pro, running on Leopard. I'm running WinXP Pro on VM Fusion.I'm connecting my MacBook to a Local LAN enviroment in my company, but it is not bind to any AD.
But concurrently when i run WindowsXP Pro on VM Fusion, i actually join domain in the XP Pro.
If anyone can advise, what may be causing the frequent account lock-out whenever i run WindowXP on VM Fusion?

I'm having the same issue under Parallels. I connect to my corporate network using Cisco VPN. I have Entourage configured and Outlook configured in my VM. Cisco VPN is configured for both the Mac OS and for Windows XP within Parallels. I never run both simultaneously. If I connect to VPN within MacOS X, I can have both Entourage and Outlook open and the same time. I seem to notice more frequent lockouts when I do this. I have also tried running Entourage via OWS. This removes the need to use VPN on the Mac. However, I still get lockouts...just not as frequently. Any help greatly appreciated.

Account locked out from RD server when no session is open?

Windows 2008R2 DCs, two in one site, one in another
Windows 2008 functional level
I've had two instances in the past week where users, several hours after changing their passwords, had their accounts locked out. I used LockoutStatus to track down the DC where the event 4740/lockout happened, and then read the calling workstation
from there. In both cases, the user didn't have any active or idle session on the remote desktop server where the lock was being generated. I checked further with Process Explorer and I couldn't even find any processes running in their user context.
I would unlock the account, and in under a minute, there would be six bad password attempts (our GP setting) and the account would be locked out. I could repeat this process indefinitely.
In both instances, when I rebooted the RD VM, the issue went away and didn't return. In one case that was somewhat disruptive as it was an application server. In the second case it was a domain controller and had no user impact.
I've seen this before when a user has an orphaned RD session idle for months, or with badly behaved applications, but this seeming dissociation from any active user process is really odd.
LockoutStatus always shows the lastPasswordSet timestamp in sync, replication occurs within fifteen minutes, and repadmin shows me both the expected topology and no errors.
I'm at a total loss. What more can I check for?

Hi,
Do you have any updates?
Other than Remote Desktop sessions, please also check these things below:
Programs, services, schedule tasks, scripts, which could also store user credentials.

Incredibly weird issue, Win 7 account locked out

Hi folks,
Ill dive straight in with this one as Ive been working on it since 9am today, with little progress.
I have USER A who's account locks out without them even being logged into their machine. The user changed their password yesterday as per company policy and since then it keeps locking out after 3-5 minutes.
Platform - WIN 7
Pro 64 Bit
Server - Win Server 2008 R2 Standard
I have done the following -
Cleared credential manager - NO DIFFERENCE
Reset IE
and cleared personal details during reset - NO DIFFERENCE
Tested by logging
onto another machine - NO JOY
Recreated their login profile - NO
DIFFERENCE
Checked for logged on terminal services accounts - NONE LOGGED IN
Connected devices ie. iPad, iPhone, Android - NONE
I have checked
on our DC's and have found the following -

I do not think this is an issue with the users machine. The reason I say this is because for one the issue follows the user when they logon to another machine. The second thing is, I took the machine completely off the network, as in disconnected it. Reset
the users account on the DC and just waited on the DC for 5 minutes. I double clicked into the users account again and under the account tab it was locked out again. What on earth could be causing this?
Jeet S

Event ID 4776 Status 0xc0000234 tells us there was a failed attempt because the account was already locked.
- Have you searched the logs for what computer is doing the lockout?
- Is there a possibility that the user is still logged on a different workstation and has it locked?
Maybe this can help:
Get the user's distinguishedname:
$DN = (get-aduser <username> ).distinguishedname
The check the Object Metadata for that account to find out exactly what time and DC the account was locked out on:
repadmin /showobjmeta <yourDC> "$DN"
Look through the results and find the property for "LockoutTime" (That'll tell you where to look)

Oracle account and microsoft active directory password synchronisation

Hi
We are migrating our application to use windows active directory authentication. We have separate oracle account for
each logged in user in the application, and these oracle credentials have to be the same as the windows active directory
credentials.
Also, a password change on windows Active directory should change the oracle account password.
Is there a tool available to manage and synchronize the microsoft active directory and oracle account.
We use oracle 10g and application is hosted on Windows 2008 server.
Thanks
Karthik

There's an OOTB connector for Password Synch between AD -> OIM. Please use that.

For password synch, OIM- AD/Oracle, you can use triggers.

Store access problems with different Mac user accounts

Hi,
My daughters account cannot connect to the iTunes store ONLY when she is logged into her user account on our iMac.
When logged into my user account she is able to connect to the store.
I can connect to the store if I log into my iTunes account when I am logged in her iMac user account.
Hope you are still with me!
I am running Mac OS X 10.5.2 & iTunes 7.6.2 (9)
The computers firewall settings are 'allow all incoming connections'.
There have been no changes to our netgear router.
As stated there is no ISP issue here as she can connect on other Mac user accounts and I can connect on her Mac user account.
I have deleted her .com.apple.iTunes.secure.plist
The error message -50 takes about 5 minutes to arrive after the 'accessing iTunes store' eventually stops. We have also had error -4 on one occasion.
It is possible to view her account details but when clicking on the iTunes store icon in iTunes it doesn't connect to the store.
I have deleted the existing iTunes file and downloaded a new iTunes file. I have changed the purchasing from shopping cart to one click in iTunes Preferences.
And I have emailed apple. Their reply hasn't been of help as yet.
Hopefully someone will have some ideas as to what to do next!
Regards, Jon

I've had another reply back from Apple which I am posting should anyone else have similar problems. Sadly it is a very disappointing and I think rather strange response.
+I understand that you are still unable to sign into your accouint on your other computer. I sincerely apologize for any frustration this may have caused you and I would be happy to assist you today.+
+I have looked further into this issue and your issue seems to be caused by a technical issue, which is out of my scope of support. The iTunes Customer Support answers questions about iTunes Store billing and accounts, downloading purchases from the iTunes Store, and iTunes Store content.+
+However, Apple also offers support for the .Mac services. Please visit the .Mac Support website to review the information provided or submit a question to the .Mac Support team:+
+http://www.apple.com/support/dotmac+
+In the future, if you need assistance with the iTunes Store, please don't hesitate to contact us again. I hope that you continue to enjoy using the iTunes Store. Thank you for being a loyal iTunes customer.+
Sincerely,
So my question is Who answers technical iTunes support from Apple?
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple - their design, the fact my computer does 'just work' and the way I now listen to music. Just a bit surprised by that reply.
Anyway fortunately I solved my problem and I hope this thread helps anyone else.

Account lock out error message

when the user account is locked out the ldap gives the standard 49 error, for both invalid password and even if the account is locked out. Is there a way to specifically configure it to give account lock out message instead of just the error 49.

Hi,
what you're asking should not be possible in terms of 'plain' LDAP Protocol; RFC 4511 (LDAP Protocol Definition), in [Appendix A.2|http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4511#appendix-A.2] describes the result codes that the server can return. According to that document (that is the current reference) 'err=49' means that the provided credentials are not valid. The standard LDAP protocol doesn't allow you to provide the additional information of 'why' the credentials are not valid using a different error code.
HTH,
marco
