Prompted for password when opening icloud mail

Hi,
I downloaded Mavericks a week or so ago and everything's fine except one glitch:
Whenever I open the Mail app, it prompts me to enter my password before retrieving anything. As soon as I enter my password it connects to iCloud fine. Under Preferences (General account tab) there is a password slot into which the password can be entered. But when I do that, and then save the changes, it doesn't retain the information. When I re-open the Mail app, the same prompt re-appears. When I check Preferences, the password slot is still empty.
I also have a pop account separate from iCloud IMAP, and that works just fine. Like it did under Mountain Lion.
Is there some kind of glitch still? I downloaded today the 11-08-2013 Maverick mail update from the App store, but that didn't solve this particular problem. It appears to be related to GMail accounts only anyway.
Any thoughts on how I can get the Mail app to retain my password info for the iCloud account so that I don't have to keep re-entering it?
Many TIA for any hints!
(P.S: My machine is a 2012 15" RD MacBook Pro)

Thanks to both for your replies.

Outlook 2007 Clients Prompt For Password When Opening

I am running Exchange 2007 Standard. New outlook 07 clients prompt for password each time it is opened. Older clients do not prompt for password. Is there any way for outlook 07 to not prompt for password? Users already logged into domain, should their credentials not be recognized automatically like with outlook 03?

This fixed it for me.

Same problem here after restarting SBS 2008 for upgrades (annoying login box popping up after starting Outlook and also other times).
This solved the problem for me:
IIS Mgr on SBS 2008 / - / SBS Web Applications /
- SSL Settings / Client certificates - Stop / Start web server after changing settings:
Autodiscover: Ignore
EWS: Ignore
OAB: Accept *)
owa: Accept *)
Rpc: Accept *)

I was having the same issue. SBS2008, Exchange 2007. Only being prompted in Outlook 2007 clients. Tried a lot of different things to fix it, but none worked. This started happening after a round of security updates but I could not find KB2412171 on the list.

Getting Prompt for Credentials When Opening InfoPath 2010 Form in Sharepoint 2010

I have a domain user who runs Office 2010 x32 and uses a Sharepoint 2010 site daily. Lately a specific page on that site has been randomly giving prompts for credentials when opening existing documents and creating new ones. The process can be most easily
replicated by opening the new document template in Infopath by going to Documents -> New in the ribbon bar of the SP page. Most of the time the Windows credentials for the user are passed to Infopath/Sharepoint automatically (which is normal), but on the
fourth or fifth attempt to create a new form, the prompt appears. The user can still enter the credentials and open the blank template form, but a prompt should not appear. The user is also the administrator for that page, so I'm thinking it's not a permissions
issue.
The user is running IE 9 on Windows 7 Pro x64. I have performed the following:
Reset advanced IE settings and all user cache data
Cleared cached Sharepoint credentials in Windows credential manager
Re-applied group policy for the machine using gpupdate /force
Logged in with a clean temporary profile
Logged in to another domain account using the user's Sharepoint credentials
Cleared Infopath cache
Re-installed Office 2010 x32
The problem only occurs only on this particular machine. There are no Sharepoint or authentication-related errors or warnings in the application and system event logs. There are also no error messages on-screen when the prompt appears. I also considered
the possibility of this being a performance related issue in the case that maybe Infopath was taking too long to start, causing the credential pass-through process to time out and fall back to a prompt. I ran disk cleanup, deleted some temporary files, and
checked for excessive CPU/memory load. I didn't find any issues and doing these things did not help.
I'm convinced there is another setting somewhere in Windows that is causing this. Interestingly it always happens after four or five attempts, never the first time. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi Titan, this sounds like an IE security setting issue. Things to do:
1. In Internet options>Security>Local Intranet, make sure "Enable Protected Mode" is not selected.
2. Under Sites>Advanced, add https://*.sharepoint.com (and make sure "Require server verification..." is not checked).
3. Under Security>Custom Level, scroll all the way to the bottom and make sure "Automatic logon with current user..." is checked.

SharePoint prompting for password when saving word document

Saving a word document back to SharePoint always prompts for credentials.
I am the administrator for a SharePoint farm. We have enabled kerberos, and added the portal to the intranet zone in Internet Explorer by group policy. Most of the time this limits the amount of password prompts our customers see (including viewing the portal
in a browser, and opening documents); however, we are still getting the prompt for credentials when trying to save a word document back to SharePoint.
Here are some details: - SharePoint 2010 - Word 2010 - Kerberos enabled - Portal added to intranet zone in IE - Checkbox for passing automatic credentials enabled
Can anyone help? Is there something I've missed? Is this prompt just unavoidable?

Hi,
Internet Explorer uses the Web Client service when you use Internet Explorer to access a
WebDAV resource. The Web Client Service uses Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP) to perform the network I/O to the remote host. WinHTTP sends user credentials only in response to requests that occur on a local intranet site.
However, WinHTTP does not check the security zone
settings in Internet Explorer to determine whether a Web site is in a zone that lets credentials be sent automatically.
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press
ENTER.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click
Multi-String Value.
Type AuthForwardServerList, and then press ENTER.
On the Edit menu, click Modify.
In the Value data box, type the URL of the server that hosts the Web share, and then click
OK.
Note You can also type a list of URLs in the
Value data box. For more information, see the "Sample URL list" section in this article.
Exit Registry Editor.
After this registry entry is created, the WebClient service will read the entry value. If the client computer tries to access a URL that matches any of the expressions in the list, the user credential will be sent successfully to authenticate
the user, even if no proxy is configured.
Note You have to restart the WebClient service after you modify the registry.

Kerberos - client has TGT, but prompted for password when accessing share.

I'm getting ready to deploy Leopard to my client base and I'm doing final testing. I have a magic triangle/cylinder of destiny situation, using Active Directory and Open Directory running on 10.5.2.
With a 10.5.2 client bound to both directories, I can log in to the client machine with an AD account, however when I try to connect to a file share, I am prompted for name & password. I checked /System/Library/CoreServices/Kerberos, and I have a TGT.
I'm stumped as to why I'm being prompted when I have a TGT. Any ideas?

Go back to the basics. Time and DNS. Make sure all servers are using the same time server (OD box points to AD domain controller - use ntpq -p to confirm time sync). Make sure forward and reverse resolve works for all servers in the chain. If this all checks out, then look at your AFP service settings or temporarily launch SMB and see if it will issue a service ticket.
You are talking to two different machines but with a common auth point. The first process, getting the TGT is entirely devoted to communication with the AD domain. The KDC in AD agreed that you are who you claim to be and that you can be trusted, thus granting you access to domain resources. The next step is attempting to access a resource on a server that you believe to be part of the trust. In this case, an OS X Server running AFP (assumably). In this case, the OD system needs to be configured as a domain member of the AD environment and all services "Kerberized". This is an area in which Apple needs a little work under Leopard. Tiger was so easy. I've had better luck using dsconfigad's enablesso than with the GUI tools.
However, assuming that you performed all the usual steps, first review the contents of your edu.mit.kerberos file and make sure that Leopard did not rewrite the file and place the OD system in as the KDC. That is all wrong. Next, take a look at your principles by using klist -k. Is the realm information correct? And finally, review the settings in the afp configuration file. The realm information in that file is often messed up if you launch AFP before you have the server bound up properly.
My guess is that the OD box thinks it is the KDC and you will likely need to manually edit the edu.mit.kerberos file and force the file to be static (remove the third and fourth lines). This is common if you joined the AD domain and then promoted the server to OD Master.
Hope this helps

Terminal Window asking for password when opening

I don't know what happens but everytime I open a terminal window its ask me for password. If I type my admin password it starts saying that can't found my ~ directory and starts in :/ instead of :~
It is also showing ttys001 instead of 000 as usual.
I don't know what it is, I think it have some relation with closing terminal windows without logging out of a ssh section, but I don't know how to resolve it. I tried reboot, "exit", delete com.apple.terminal
Any sugestion?

This is just a wild guess, but might there be a "sudo" command in a file in your home directory that's run when you launch a Terminal session, such as .bash_profile, .bash_login, or .profile? (This list assumes that you're using bash as your shell.)

Outlook 2013 repeatedly prompts for password when connecting to Exchange Server 2010

I am trying to configure Outlook 2013 on a Windows 8.1 Pro client. The exchange server is 2010 SP1 and works just fine with OL 2010.
When I configure OL 2013, the configuration prompts for a password for the account repeatedly with both NTLM and Basic Authentication chosen. OL 2013 tries to connect and then it disconnects with the password for the account repeatedly prompted. When
the credentials are entered, the prompt reappears immediately.
Might anyone help?
Many thanks in advance
Shuvo

Prompted for Password when Moving Item to Trash

Whenever I attempt to send anything from my Startup Disk to the Trash (This problem only happens when moving to the trash from the Startup disk, not with my external hard drive or any USB drives attached) it prompts for my Administrator Username and Password. When I do that, the file then skips the trash and is deleted immediately. Items already in the trash are seemingly unnaffected.
I did some research online, which led me to believe it might be my trashes.db file. I followed some steps to fix this file in the UNIX Terminal, but I can't do that without a SU (SuperUser) account, so I enabled the root account and used that for the repair. However, nothing has changed and I am continuing to see this problem.
I am running OS X Lion, 10.7.2, and it is a 2010 Mac Mini. I am an administrator account and I have access to UNIX sudo commands through the root user set up on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to both for your replies.

Stop prompting for password when uninstalling an application

Is there any way to turn off OS X from prompting for my password when deleting/uninstalling an application?

This is a security feature I would not want to disable. In addition to helping prevent accidentally deleting an app, it also protects against potential installation of nefarious malware.
True, it is a little bit of inconvenience, but, really, how often is it necessary to uninstall something?

Office O365 prompting for credentials when opening files from OneDrive and selecting "Edit in Word"

When logged into my OneDrive IE 9 and select a word or excel file to "Edit in Word" or "Edit in Excel"I get prompted with the following Sign In message.
"Call us overprotective, but we need to verify your account again before opening this document."
When I enter my live ID and password it then asks again for my user ID and then password over and over and I can never open the document to edit in my local copy of Word or Excel 2013.
I have done the basic internet troubleshooting and deleted all my temporary internet files. I have also re-installed MS office 2013 from my O365 account without issue.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Much.

Hi,
I've seen this issue on Office 365 Community before, it should be like:
Some users resolved the issue by pressing the Enter key instead of clicking on the Next button, try if this works for you.
You can also try with another Web Browser if you have, if with another browser it works fine, consider to reset the Internet Explorer:
Internet Options -> Advanced -> Reset Internet Explorer Settings -> Reset.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

IMAP users continually prompted for password when switching folders

I've sifted through /var/log/mailaccess.log and I notice the following message is logged when the above behavior occurs:
Jan 19 00:59:49 hostname imap[3879]: badlogin: [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] GSSAPI [SASL(-13): authentication failure: user username is not allowed to proxy]
XServe Dual G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) latest updates as of 1/19/07

to elaborate on this issue a bit more.
This issue seems to be isolated to imap clients only and started occurring two days ago on a server that has worked great for a long time. The exception is Squirrelmail which works flawlessly (Thunderbird, entourage, mail.app, etc. seem to have the problem)
The only change (that we are aware of) is a shift in the spamassassin kill rates (from 7 to 6). However reverting this doesn't help.
A user can log into their imap account without problem but when navigating to a different iMap folder the authentication information is sent, fails and reprompts then for their credentials. The second attempt (retyping of the password) works and they see their email.
The problem seems to be isolated to a few users and does not affect everybody. We can not find a commonality between them though.
The error message (posted above) is what we see in the log files. We see this in
system.log
asl.log
if it helps we are also getting some skiplist errors in mail.log
"Message skiplist: recovered"
Finally we ran all of the latest updates and are fully "upped" so to speak.

Mac users prompted for password when reading PDFs from Internet

We produce PDFs with a randomly generated password to "protect" them from being editted.
Periodically, we get complaints from Mac users who, upon clicking the PDF link, are prompted to enter the password. My guess at this point is that they have Acrobat (not Reader) installed and it's wanting to open the PDF in an editable mode by default.
Does this sound correct?
What instructions should we give them to work around this issue? Is there a settings change for this (least desireable) or a Ctrl-Click sequence to get it in "read-only" mode?
We're not Mac folks -- don't have one in-house -- so we haven't had an environment to experiment in.
BTW: The issue is with our clients' customers so we need something fairly non-technical for directions.
Thanks, Scott

Always promted for password when using mac mail

why am I always ask for my password? How can i stop this?

Check the box that says save to key chain in the password prompt window.
If you have done this and it doesn't save it, then it may be that you have a saved password that is incorrect and Mail is using it.
If this is the case, go to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. Find any passwords that look related to Mail and delete them.
Next time you use the app. you will be asked to enter the password, do so, carefully, and then check the save to keycahin box.
