Password can only be changed once

Suddenly on our system users can only change their password once. That means:
1) Administrator creates account in WGM with OpenDirectory-Password "xxx1".
2) User can login with password "xxx1"
3) User changes password to "xxx2".
4) User can login with password "xxx2"
5) Some time later user changes password again, this time to "xxx3".
6) User cannot login with the new password "xxx3", but he can still login with the old password "xxx2"!!!
7) Administrator changes password in WGM to "xxx3".
8) User can still not login with password "xxx3", only the old password "xxx2" works!
9) The only way to change the password at this time, is to delete the user in WGM and recreate it with the new password.
We suspect that it has something to do with Kerberos. If the user tries after step 6) (from above) to get a Kerberos ticket using /System/Library/CoreServices/Kerberos.app, he can only get a ticket using the new password "xxx3"!
So for us it looks like the OpenDirectory- and Kerberos-Passwords are somehow getting out of sync.
Our configuration:
Server: 10.4.7 (PPC)
Clients: 10.4.7 and 10.4.9 (both PPC)
Thanks for any help.

  • Can only open firefox once, have to restart to open more than one browser. can't upload any pictures the box doesn't pop up, my browser settings are diff now

    Firefox just changed out of nowhere. I can only open firefox once... I used to have atleast 2 browsers up using them both on different sites, but now I can't have but one firefox browser up (not tabs, but firefox pages) Also when I am trying to upload images on ebay or any other site nothing happens... nothing pops up. I click it over and over and nothing even pops up. This is exactly what happens with the firefox browser in my first question... I can click the firefox icon a million times and nothing comes up. My tabs are all gone and it doesn't show anything like I had before this all changed? Did I reset everything some how? I do not recall clicking anything to go back... I do remember clicking an update because it kept poping up so I did it and that is the last thing I remember before this happened! UGHHH!

    As I asked previously are you able to have tabs open as a window by using the right clicking option ?
    When you close Firefox you should use
    *'''Firefox button -> File -> Exit '''
    Are you doing that ?
    I suspect what may be happening is Firefox is hanging as it closes down.
    * see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it]]_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it
    * this explains how to check & if necessary kill the process [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it#w_end-firefox-processes]]_end-firefox-processes
    A related possible problem is that you may have built up many copies of the restore files. These are stored in the Firefox profile. The easiest method of finding the profile location istouse
    *use '''Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information <br /> -> [Show Folder]'''
    *see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    You need to look for the files ''sessionstore.js'' and numbered duplicates of that. Delete them.
    * see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Multiple_sessionstore.js_files

  • Creatig a .pdf that can only be printed once

    Hello, I am looking to create a coupon for my website's email club, but I'd like to make it so the coupon can only be printed once. How do I go about doing that? I know how to add a password and make it unprintable, but not print once. Thanks for any help.

    Probably not possible at all, but if it is, it's with a DRM product which costs thousands of dollars.

  • I am trying to authorise my new macbook air and it won't let me. I try to de-authorise all the other computers and it says I can only do this once a year and have to wait until the 7th Feb. It does not give me an option to authorise this computer

    Always remember to 'de-authorize' you computer when selling or sending for service. If sending for repairs you might not get the same mother board or HD back and some how this counts as an authorized computer against your count.

  • Since upgrading Iphone to iOS 5.1.1 it does not automatically use wifi internet when wifi is available. It has been draining my mobile data. I can only manually change settings with cellular data everytime I get home. Any other solutions?

    Since upgrading Iphone to iOS 5.1.1 it does not automatically divert to my wi-fi internet when wifi is available in my home. It has been draining my mobile data I  now have very high bills from my mobile carrier for high data usage. I can only manually change settings in the Network and turn cellular data on and off everytime I get home and leave the home. This is very frustrating as it wasn't a  problem until the upgrade. I have spoken to a few people that this has happened to. Has anyone found this problem and does anyone have other solutions?

    Please disregard this question. I'll submit a shorter and more direct question. Thanks.

  • Condition type PR00 can only be used once

    Hi Experts,
    Im faced with a strange problem. Request your help in resolving it.
    I tried to create my own pricing procedure by copying from RVAA01. Then i deleted all the steps and created my own steps. But when im trying to save the document, it says PR00 can only be used once. I deleted this condition type and tried to save it, it again says K004 can only be used once. Even after deleting all the earlier conditions which i copied from RVAA01, why am i getting this error.
    Your help is most appreciated.
    Warm regards,
    Sarat.

    You have deleted a row (i.e. condition type, say PR00).
    After that click icon "Save".
    Then when you create condition type PR00, system shall accept it.
    Currently, you are deleting a condition type (PR00) but it is still "in memory" of the pricing procedure. You can not create the same condition type more than once in a pricing procedure. Therefore you can not create PR00 again & you are getting the error message.
    First remove PR00 from the memory of the pricing procedure by clicking "Save", & then you can re-enter the same cond type.

  • Lower limit can only be changed during initial entry, Message no. NR651

    Hi Experts,
    As per the number ranges limit values defined in the system for the planned orders, there is a need to increase the number ranges.
    System is not allowing us to change the limit values of the Planned orders in MD91 and showing the Message no. NR651.
    We have also searched for the available threads in SCN and other sites, but didn't find the root cuase link for this error.
    System message:
    Lower limit can only be changed during initial entry
    Message no. NR651
    Diagnosis
    You have tried to change the lower limit of an interval which has a non-initial number status.
    System Response
    The change was not executed.
    Please guide us how can we increase the number ranges for planned orders.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You can create a new number range or change in transaction OMi2 or in MD91.
    Assign the 02  by clicking number range in OMi2
    or in transaction OPPQ  click on number range & select the 02.
    Do the changes as described and analyse the results. Ensure that while testing no body is creating the planned orders.

  • Alternatives can only be used once?

    Hi
    In the Adobe form when creating an alternative I've discovered that it can only be used once.
    Is this correct?
    I've created an alternative e.g. name = FLAG_IS_X condition flag = X.
    When I use the alternative 'FLAG_IS_X' the first time it works as required.
    However, when I use it a second time on the form it does not work at all.
    Does this mean that a different alternative with the same condition has to be created even though the condition you want to use is the same?
    Thanks

    Hey,
    Well I stumble it seems on the same 'issue' . I have 3 master pages and have the requirement to put a watermark on it depending on the status. The first master is in portrait and contains the contact details, the second master page contains the line items and is in landscape and the third one contains the totals and is back portrait.
    First I had only one alternative and used it on the 3 masterpage to check if the watermark had to be printed. In this case it was only correct for the first page (contact-info) the rest all received the mark although they should not.
    Then I made 3 altenatives (one for each type of master page) all checking the same condition.
    This way it was correct for page 1 (contacts), the first page of the items (the two others had the watermark although they should not - so not correct) and the last page with the totals.
    In my case the contacts-page and totals-page can only have a page-count of 1 but I'm almost sure that if they could have a page count of 2 or more then only the first page would be correctly printed.
    Is this a bug you think?
    Faaiez,
    Did you find in the end a workaround for this?
    Otto.
    Any suggestion of how I could handle this with scripting (no experience with scripting though)
    Anyway tnx already for all the input !!
    best regards,

    I've had two lapstops die within the last seven months.  Last time I had to "deauthorize" all five computers, then re-up, since I couldn't deauthorize from the dead laptop.  Now I need to go through it all again, but I understand that this can only be done once every 12 months. What else can I do?  Can I get into the account and just deauhorize the dead computer?

    You can try contacting Apple and explain that you have been using Windows PCs that last only a few months before failing. Perhaps they will make an exception to the 12 month wait.

  • Applecare can only be registered once?

    Hi folks,
    Just wondering if you can help me out?  A few months back I bought Applecare for my Macbook pro.  After finding it a bit cheaper elsewhere i called up Apple to let them know and they told me that they couldnt refund me so if i wanted it at the cheaper price i was to cancel and repurchase.  Fine.
    So i cancelled and waited months for my refund.  I have since got the refund and was then informed by customer relations that i can no longer register my product for applecare anymore as it can only be registered once.
    Can anyone shed any light on this?  I am really annoyed as i was advised by someone at Apple to do that!  Had i known i wouldnt have cancelled.
    I also asked the customer relations rep (michelle, i think her name was) about escalating my complaint as i found that to be totally unfair i was told to cancel and should be able to repurchased and was told she could give me an address but i "would be wasting my time" as the letter would be directed back at her.
    Surely the buck doesnt stop at this customer relations rep?
    any advice is welcome.  im really worried now as my 1 year runs out really soon.
    many thanks in advance

  • I bought creative suites over 3 years, but now cannot update and registered in my account, the error massage are:This serial number has already been registered. Products can only be registered once.

    i bought creative suites over 3 years, but now cannot update and registered in my account, the error massage are:This serial number has already been registered. Products can only be registered once.

    The message is correct.  You can only register a product once... there is no need to register again after you do it the first time.  You can re-install and activate with the serial number, but there is no need to re-register.

  • DVD Regional Codes can only be changed 5 times? Why?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro in the U.S. and brought it to Japan where I currently reside. I have DVD's from the states that I want to watch along with DVD's that can be rented here in Japan. When I inserted a DVD into the drive from Japan with a regional code of 2, I was informed that the regional codes can only be changed 5 times and on the 5th time, that code becomes permanent. What is up with that? And is there any way to switch back and forth between various regions without a limit? I don't understand.

    This is to stop people circumventing the region code system by simply changing the region code of their DVD player. In my opinion, this is an "anti-piracy" measure that does more to annoy people than it does to stop piracy.
    With all other computer drives, you can actually change them 25 times; after every fifth time though, you have to take it to a dealer to have it reset. Apple don't allow this and limit you to five times. After the fifth time, they will not reset it, and you are stuck with it. I would only change it if I moved somewhere with a different region code.
    VLC can function as a multi-region DVD player on some drives, allowing you to play disks from any region, regardless of the region coding of your player. It works on my iMac, so I would imagine that there is a good chance it will function as such on your MacBook Pro.

  • I've had to reset my laptop to factory settings a few times recently and now I realise that i have auth'd my iphone to my laptop 4 times now (i can only do this once more). Is there anyway of de-authing my laptop without being having access to itunes?

    Without access, you're gonna have to wait until you reach the 5 authorized computer limit, then you can de-authorize all.
