Mac user prompted for password for Mac server shares at every login

I have a client that uses Mac machines.  The server is also Mac server. 
The machines are not in a domain/realm, so each machine has its own user database including the server.
The user connects to a share on the server, where she is set up with the same user name and password as on her local Mac for convenience.
When you connect to the share the first time, you are prompted to provide the credentials, and you can select to save this password in Keychain.  We selected YES, remember this password in my Keychain.
However, at every login, she has to provide credentials to connect to the share again.
Any ideas why keychain is not remembering this login so that she can re-connect to the share (it is set as a Login Item) seamlessly?
Thank you,
Sandra

Unix shortnames can be viewed/set on the client computers by opening system preferences, going to users & groups, Right-Clicking on a user, and opening the "Advanced Options..." pane.  In the field that says "Account Name:" is the UNIX shortname that the system assigned o that user when their account was originally created.
DO NOT CHANGE THE USER'S SHORTNAME HERE.  All kinds of bad things will happen.  Once it is established (as your original post suggests), you don't want to change it.
What you can do is on your server, in the users & groups sharing preferences, establish server  accounts for your users that have identical shortnames to the ones they already have assigned on their individual macs.

  • I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    It is now confirmed  that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
    This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.

    cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it  . i can download apps and music.  how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • Error in iCal: The server did not recognize your user name or password for account "Gmail."

    To keep my iCal up to date on two computers, I export an Archive in one and import it to the other. Yes, I know I should use the Cloud, but humour me.
    Export of iCal from my MacBook Air (OS 10.7.5) no longer works when imported to my desktop (OS 10.6.8). It returns an error saying "The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “Gmail.” Make sure you enter them correctly."
    After dismissing this dialogue box twice (it offers no other options, iCal crashes.
    I've turned off the option on my MacBook that asks to use my Gmail account, but since I can no longer launch iCal on my desktop, it can't import new data. How can I clean out the brain of iCal on the desktop so that it will open -- blank -- and perhaps accept a new version of my iCal data?

  • How do I specify a particular Proxy Server, port, user-ID and password for file downloads

    We are attempting to deploy Creative Cloud trial applications to a couple of users for testing purposes.
    This is a corporate environment where we need to specify a particular proxy server by IP address, and port with a User-ID and password for identification in order to download files.
    The Creative Cloud app appears to be ignoring the proxy settings in the browsers installed on the machine used to attempt a download. The Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition wants you to already have the files available.  All technical support had is a white list, no help on how to specify a particular proxy server.  Do we have to obtain media from Adobe, or is there a way to download these?
    Thanks

    I have been having the same issue but I think I fixed my problem.  In iCal, click iCal, Preferences, Accounts and retype your password.  That seems to have done the trick for me as far as I can tell.

  • How to hide user id and password for auto login in Analyzer 6.5?

    Could anyone tell me is it possible to hide the user id and password for auto login in Analyzer version 6.5 and how?Thanks in advance...

    Sainath,
    Referring admin guide as mentioned by Craig is good option.
    Let me give you few steps that I did in one of my projects.
    Open command prompt and navigate to the path "C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\DataRelationshipManagement\client\batch-client".. here you can see many see other utilities as well.
    drm-batch-client-credentials.exe is the one used to encrypt the userid and password.
    open this in command prompt and then choose the application to which you want to encrypt the password.
    then remove userid and password from batch script then run it... it does what you want

  • Invalid User ID and password for signon - HRMS 9.0 on SQL2005

    I'm installing HRMS 9.0 using MS SQL Server 2005. I ran the "rel849u.sql" and grant.sql scripts. And now I'm at Task 7-4-3 "Updating PeopleTools Database Objects". When I launch the Application Designer, I get the following error when I try to login:
    Invalid User ID and password for signon
    I've triied logging in using 'sa', 'ps', and 'people' and still nothing works. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    Why do you want to connect with people user ? I'm sure, nothing in the doc is talking about connection through people user. PEOPLE is not an application user anyway, you don't have any chance to connect to AppDesigner. This database user is there only to check the connectivity grant, nothing more, it is used internally and should NOT be used.
