OUTLOOK PROFILE - UNABLE TO SIGN IN

IN LYNC 2013 THE LOWER PORTION OF THE DIALOG BOX HAS A LINK THAT READS "VIEW MORE IN OUTLOOK"
THE ERROR MESSAGE REPORTS THE FOLLOWING:
THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU USED IN YOUR DEFAULT OUTLOOK PROFILE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE SIGN-IN ADDRESS USED IN LYNC. CHANGE YOUR DEFAULT OUTLOOK PROFILE TO MATCH THE SIGN - IN ADDRESS YOU ARE USING IN LYNC, AND THEN SIGN OUT AND SIGN BACK IN TO LYNC.

usually the Lync SIP address and your primary email address are the same. If this is not the case then you need to set the flag to True for the CSClientPolicy -> DisableEmailComparisonCheck
Once that's done and applied to the user in question get the user to log out and bach in again.

Palm Profile: unable to sign you in

as you know, the seller whom I'm brougt palm pixi plus from was forgot to activate my phone so I can't acces app catalog, even for free app.
so I tried to reach o2 germany (as in my phone box say) to help me.
the said can't do nothing to help me but they're kind enough to create a palm profile with my email address.
my new palm profile has been confirmed (from the web). so, I meta-doctor-ed the associated firmware for my pixi plus (wr, 1.4.5) and bypass the first-use-app to gain the internet access with wi-fi (avoiding my local simcard before sign in to palm profile).
the problem is as this post subject, pixi keep telling me "..unable to sign you in" eventhough my palm profile has been confirmed via https://ps.palmws.com/...
what should I do then? can you please help me with that, or it's just another "temporary down" in palm profile?
looking forward to your reply. thanks in advance.
regards.

WebOS Doctor-ing again my phone without the hacks, I'm able to cconnect to my Palm Profile but couldn't get "App Catalog" to work in here, even for free apps. (FYI: this is my first palm phone).
so the only way to install apps is to do it manually, with the tools provided by webos community, such as WebOS Quick Install aka WOSQI.
according to http://twitter.com/webosinternals ( had a conversation how to resolve this "app catalog" issue months ago), the only way to get it works is to activate the phone physically in one of the palm's country (U.S., Canada, Mexico, Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, France, Spain, Ireland or the UK), with local simcard provided by palm's operator partner simcard in one of those country.
well, it seems that the UK ebay seller, in whom I brought from, forgot to activate it.
correct me if I'm wrong, or am I missing something...
is there any other way to get app catalog working without going to one of the country above, cause my palm pixi plus is just like every other 'dumb-phone' (no offense) without apps (and app catalog as well).
thanks
regards.

Unable to sign SOAP Kerberos Token Profile message

I'm constructing a SOAP Kerberos Token Profile message in Java 1.6 and am unable to sign the BinarySecurityToken to send to a .NET service.
My aim is to achieve SSO from the Windows Desktop for the user that has already logged on using a Java Client.
(i.e. I don't want to use JAAS to ask the user to login again).
Based on my reading so far, I'm using the javax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly set to false to force the use of the underlying mechanism (in this case the windows credential cache).
I've also configured the jaas.conf as follows:
com.sun.security.jgss.initiate {
com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required debug=true useTicketCache=true doNotPrompt=true;
My problem is this, in order to sign the BinarySecurityToken element, which contains the Base64 encoded Kerberos service ticket, I need to gain access to the shared session key which is embedded in the service ticket.
Some other posts, in particular this (excellently written) one,
http://thejavamonkey.blogspot.com/2008/05/hacking-jvm-kerberos-libraries-session.html
demonstrate how to do this, by this assumes the use of a JAAS subject and takes advantage of the feature that the GSS-API copies the session key to the private credentials of the Subject when initiating a security context.
However I cannot use storekey=true in combination with the above configuration, as the excerpt from the Krb5LoginModule states:
storeKey=true useTicketCache = true doNotPrompt=true;;
This is an illegal combination since storeKey is set to true but the key can not be obtained either by prompting the user or from the keytab.A configuratin error will occur.
I note that when I step through the code, the session key does indeed seem to be available on the gssCredential object as a property:
gssCredential->tempCred->sessionKey->keyBytes[16]
which seems to be the expected session key size 16 * 8 = 128 (Basic128)
However I cannot find any GSS API method that can obtain this key! I note another reference from the Oracle API:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/apirefs.1111/e10678/oracle/security/xmlsec/wss/kerberos/package-summary.html
In particular this handy method:
<ul><li>Sign/Encrypt using the kerberos session key
     There is no public API to get the session key, so we have provided a utility method.
     SecretKey sessionKey = KerberosUtils.getSessionKey(gssContext);
     WSSEncryptionParams eParams = new WSSEncryptionParams(XMLURI.alg_tripleDES_CBC, sessionKey, null, null, str);
     WSSecurity.encryptNoEncKey(...)
</li>
</ul>
This looks like exactly what I'm after however this API seems related to Oracle 11g so I'm not sure if it is:
- open source
- if this is the intended usage by the GSS API developers?
Any help on this point would be very greatly appreciated!
Edited by: jas71 on Aug 4, 2010 8:49 AM

Validation of the signature on the .NET server is failing with the following error:
*The key size requirements for the 'Basic128' algorithm suite are not met by the
'System.IdentityModel.Tokens.KerberosReceiverSecurityToken' token which has key
size of '64'*
I'm using the session key to create the signature value as follows:
private static String generateSignatureValue(byte[] sessionKey, String cipherText) {
final String mode = "HmacSHA1";
final SecretKey key = new SecretKeySpec(sessionKey, mode);
Mac mac;
try {
mac = Mac.getInstance(mode);
mac.init(key);
byte[] signatureValueBytes = mac.doFinal(cipherText.getBytes());
return new String(Base64.encodeBase64(signatureValueBytes));
The error is surprising given that the session key used in this method is actually 16 bytes long and would appear to meet the key size requirements (16 * 8 = 128 bit)?
This appears to be the last piece in the puzzle, signing the Kerberos Token Profile SOAP request.

HELP! Apple Configurator - 'Unable to sign profile'

Anyone out there able to help, please??
Had Apple Configurator up and running fine. Stupidly decided to do a bit of tweeking and now it won't let me do anything. I unsupervised all my iPads so that I could wipe them for a new group.
I'm now trying to supervise them again and install exactly the same profile and restore a backup. This has worked fine before.
I am now getting a message saying 'Unable to sign profile' and it will not do anything.
Any help, suggestions or anything would be really appreciated. I'm supposed to be using the iPads with a very excited group of 7 and 8 year olds in about three hours. I really don't want to let them down:(

I was just having this issue too. I tried plugging just one in and then messing with its settings and I think the problem was that the wifi was turned off.

Unable to create outlook profile manually

Hello,
I have two Exchange 2013 Servers with combined roles with DAG configured. I am not using any cas server load balancer. I created manual entries of AutoDiscover pointing to one of the Exchange server. Now I am able to create Outlook 2013 profile automatically
through AutoDiscover and there is no problem (Even with automatically configuration it is giving strange server name like [email protected])
BUT when I try to create any user profile manually by giving one of the Exchange Server name, It gives me an error message
The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action
Kindly anyone please guide me where is the problem?
Thanks in advance.

yes I set the proxy but in my Outlook connection setting it is showing strange server name
see the snapshot
That's by design. Exchange 2013 no longer uses a common name (like a CASArray or common namespace) to connect directly to the mailbox. It now uses the [email protected] to have Outlook connect to the Exchange Server. It will still
use the Outlook Anywhere address to connect to the CAS Server, but the server name will always be that GUID.
The best way to configure the Outlook Profile is to let Autodiscover handle the profile creation. if for what ever reason you can not (really there isn't a compelling reason why), then you need to obtain the ExchangeGUID from Powershell. You
can use:
Get-Mailbox -Identity <username> | fl identity, ExchangeGUID
to get that information. Again, Autodiscover is the easiest and painless way to go.

Tried rebuilding the outlook profile and indexing but still unable to find any pointers.
Thanks

Already tried rebuilding index and profile... Do you think the below will work any idea ? i checked the below entry is not listed under below location so if i will create that and set it to 0 will that work ?
1)       Press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard, and type “REGEDIT”. This will open the Windows Registry Editor.
2)       Browse to the following: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search"
3)       You will manually have to reset the value of “Prevent Indexing Outlook” to “0” (without the quotes). To do this, right click on the “Prevent Indexing Outlook” key,
select “Modify…”, then change the value data to “0”.
4) Close the registry editor.

Within the System Preferences, Users and Groups - when we attempt to sign into the notebook using any AppleID - we receive the following error message:
Unable to sign in with AppleID - "The operation couldn't be completed (CSIdentityErrorDomain error - 11.)"
We have a Macbook Pro, MAC OS X Lion 10.7

I have created a new user profile, with administrator access, same fault occurs.
We can log in to iTunes on the notebook, the AppleID account registers and works OK.

Unable to sign up for Onlive

I am unable to sign up through the BT website for their free 3 month offer of Onlive. It says my line doesn't meet minimum speed requirement. According to the Onlive FAQ a minimum of 3 meg is needed and 5 meg is recommended.
I currently sync at 6.7 meg and throughput is 5.7 meg using various online speedtesters, including BT's. Can anyone shed any light on why my line is being refused. I am a BT customer before anyone asks
I have already signed up directly with Onlive and have been using it today without any issues so my line is clearly capable.
Thanks in advance.

New Outlook profile causes iPod contacts to disappear during first sync

I'm hoping someone can help me here please? I have approx 150 contacts missing from my iPod.
The problems began with a corrupt windows profile in Windows Vista. Got the system back up and running with a new profile and copied the iTunes data directory to the same location on the new profile.
I also had to create a new Microsoft Outlook profile, of course there are no contacts in the new Outlook profile but at least they still exist on my iPod.
After some consultation with the local Apple store they said that the contacts should syncronise back to Outlook.
Wrong ... the opposite happened.
After plugging the iPod into the PC, iTunes started and the iPod started to backup and then sync. It uploaded a movie that was downloaded directly to the iPod and all seemed fine. Checked Contacts on my iPod and all have deleted. It appears the Ipod saw no entries in Outlook and it decided it had to appear the same ... I had no warning of deletion or changes before hand!!!!
Right, I have the backup before the problem sync. Now, posts about backups seem to say that it restores to as before the problem. When I run the restore utility it wants to wipe my iPod, download the latest OS and then I can pick the retore ...... I am now very wary as I've already had one screw up and really need to know if it will work as expected before continuing. Can anyone advise please?
Also, if the restore works and I have my contacts on the iPod how do I get them to Outlook rather than they delete.
Sorry for the long post.
Cheers

40 min international Call to america:
the iPod is unable to work with smart playlists.
Only solution: 'converting' it into a static playlist by removing the "update automatically" tick at the smart playlist's options.
too bad =(

Hi,
if your using oracle db please make sure your db settings and tnsnames.oRA settings
also try you please try below troubleshooting steps:
1) please check latest error message and find the root cause,
presentation catalog log path:
obiee installed Drive:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\diagnostics\logs\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\sawlog0.txt file
also check it nqserver.log file
oracle bi server log path ref:
obiee installed Drive:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\diagnostics\logs\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1\nqserver.log
2)can you try to login RPD,EM and console by using your weblogic a/c then try to login with some other user.
if its not working then try to delete that users from catlog and check it Check OPMN services are running state.
e.x:
C:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\bin>opmnctl startall
opmnctl startall: starting opmn and all managed processes...
C:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\bin>opmnctl status

Unable to sign in to ovi store and download apps

I received two download links from the Nokia website upon request. Clicking on the link gets me to the download site and it asks me to sign in or register if I don't have a Nokia account. Whoever designed this was either on drugs or intoxicated, because without a nokia account they don't send you a download link in the first place. Since I do post this message here, I obviously did register and have an account. The problem is, my username and Password is not being recognized and it sends me into a never ending loop, with other words I am unable to sign in and download the application.
i am at my wits ends and I am fuming at Nokia for giving me such a hard time to download a simple mobile app.
My phone model is the E71x and both apps I received the link for are supposed to be compatible with this model.
Has anybody ever had a similar problem? Please enlighten me if you know the solution.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think I got the solution!!!!!
Yesterday I was so fed up with it, spending from 09:00 till 22:00 trying to fix this, but finally it works on my Nokia E72.
I noticed that every time I filled in my username, it first showed me alternative names and texts. When I chose the right one, it put an extra space behind it. Then I found that this auto tekst thing was messing **bleep** up.
Open a new text message ( SMS ), fill in a receiver, and subject and then go to the message text field. Than hit the 'options' button. Scroll down, until you find an option like text options. ( I have a Dutch version here ). Because I hate my computer/phone to interfere with thing I type I de-selected all options and voila.... it works.

Unable to Sign In to iTunes from apple tv (1st Gen). GRRRRR!!!!

Two days ago I was searching for movies to rent. So I casually went on to the Apple TV to browse all the HD movies. The #1 movie was Iron Man 2 (I watched the preview), #2 was Get Him to The Greek. I decided to opt for the comedy and rented Get Him to The Greek right from my Apple TV. I watched it and all was right with the world.
The next night I decided that I'd rent Iron Man 2 (wife's out of town). So I go into the Apple TV to get it since I knew that it was the #1 top rental the previous night was Iron Man 2. Much to my surprise, Iron Man 2 was nowhere to be found in the iTunes store on the Apple TV. Not further down the top rentals list. Not in the alphabetical listing of all movies, not even in the search. "Well that's bizarre," I said to myself. "I wonder if I can find it in the regular iTunes store on my Mac Pro?" Well sure enough, iRon Man 2 was there. So I rented it on the Mac Pro. Curiously, it didn't show up on my Apple TV. I waited and waited. So I went back to iTunes and, oh silly me, I have to put it there in the iTunes sync dialog and then sync the Apple TV. I did that, and since it was late, I went to bed.
Today, I finally got the kids to bed and cleaned up and decided to watch my rented Iron Man 2. Fire up the Apple TV, see that Iron Man 2 is right there at the front of the listed movies on my Apple TV. Sweet. Select, select play, settle in with a nice drink and ....
Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content.
What the?!?!
Hrm. That's weird. Well let me double check that I can play Toy Story (a movie I had downloaded and watched with my boy a while back). Yup, Toy Story works all right. So I decided to futz around a bit to see if I could figure out *** is wrong. Over to the settings list, hmm, maybe I should try the "Downloads" option? Click. Okay it says "Check for Downloads." Sure why not. Click. Enter your Apple ID. Yeah okay. Now enter your password. Done. And...
Unable to Sign In.
The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again.
What? Oh silly me, I must have made a mistake and entered the wrong email address or password. I'll just do it again, I'm sure it'll work this time. And...
Unable to Sign In.
The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again.
Um. Okay, third time's the charm. First let's go into iTunes on my Mac to make sure that I really am entering the right information. Yup, exactly what I thought I entered on the Apple TV. So back to the Apple TV to enter the username (and triple checking it) and the password (carefully inspecting each character as I do it). Still no luck.
Well I guess I'll look up this error online. I found an Apple Support document that indicates there is a problem with aol.com email addresses to log onto iTunes from the Apple TV. That shouldn't be it, I'm using a gmail.com address. Then I found an Apple Discussions link from 2008 where people were flustered by this issue. A few had gotten their Apple TVs to work again by unplugging the Apple TV and deauthorizing and reauthorizing the computer the Apple TV is sync'd to, plugging the apple TV back in and syncing the Apple TV back to the computer.
I gave that the old college try. I came back to try the Apple TV and still got that Iron Man 2 was not authorized on the Apple TV. I thought I'd try Toy Story just to make sure that it still worked. Now that movie said the Apple TV was not authorized to play that movie.
I'm going backwards! Things that were working now aren't and I've spent my entire night trying to figure this crap out. Someone please help me make this "just work" so I don't have to go and smash it to pieces with a baseball bat. My stats as of right now:
1) I can't log into my iTunes account from anywhere it asks for it on the Apple TV. I've tried settings>downloads, settings>general>itunes store, settings>general>network>test network.
2) I can't log into my YouTube account. I've triple checked that my information is correct.
3) I can't play any movies purchased through iTunes even if they were purchased from my Apple TV.
4) I CAN play music and a music video that I purchased on my Apple TV and music I purchased from my Mac.
5) I can play a TV season that I purchased some time ago on the Apple TV.
6) I can log into my account in iTunes from both of my Macs.
Oh also to get the easy questions out of the way: 1) Yes I'm 100% certain that I entered my username and password correctly. 2) I am completely up to date with my iTunes software on the Mac and my Apple TV software (as far as I can tell).
I'm trying to stay calm and keep things light. But holy crap this is frustrating. I spent good money on the movies that I can't watch. I wasted hours and hours of my time troubleshooting and researching only to find myself going backwards and losing the ability to play things that I once had no problems playing. This just isn't working and I wasted my whole night on it. Someone please help!

I cannot help you other than to say I have exactly the same problem and have been trying to resolve it for over an hour now with no luck.
Besides unplugging and replugging in my ATV I have also tried:
- resetting my password to the same thing
- resetting my password to something else
- creating a new Apple ID and trying to use it
None of this works.
At this point I am guessing that Apple's servers are hosed and the error message is just incorrect. Hopefully they will fix the problem at their end over the weekend.
And yes. Holy crap this is frustrating is putting it mildly.
It amazes me that just a few hours ago I was playing with FaceTime and thinking very positively of Apple, but now I'm just ****** at what is clearly a screw up on their part.

Create fully automated Outlook profile at user first time logon to the windows

Hi experts, I do have one scenario and its quite urgent...
I have one email address, that to be act as a notification email from Outlook.
The thing is we need to have Outlook fully setup with profile and password when an user log in.
I have done the prf and plan to have it fired with VB script when user logon(using windows logon startup script function).
The prf can be successfully fired and its created profile in outlook, however the user credentials logon will be prompted everytime the user log on, and the user will not know the password, except us, email administrator.
This is carried out in ：
- Azure Windows server 2012
- Outlook 2013
- And the user will not access remotely to the server, they will only access to RDP, which we hosted our application.
(And the mentioned application will need to send some notification email to the users.
I hope i have not missed out anything. Anyone please shed some light for this.
Your help is appreciated !

Hi Melon,
Thanks for quick reply !
Yes. I have setup prf file and not able to store any password in it. Our user will have to type in the password in the prompted windows. The thing is we are not exposing the password to the user. In fact, they are not able to view the windows screen as they
are only connect to RDP application.
Now we are using Exchange account and soon we will migrate our email server to Office 365.

'to create the profile.
'Prereqs:
'You must first create a .prf file with the custom settings required for
'your environment using either the Custom Installation Wizard included
'in the Office XP/2003 Resource Kit Tools, or the Office Customization
'Tool (OCT) included with volume-licensed editions of Office 2007/2010.
'In Many environments, Office 2003 is the lowest common denominator, so prf
'files created with the 2003 CIW should be used, to ensure compatibility
'with all Outlook clients. (XP/2003 prf files are compatible with 2007/2010)
