"Remote Apple Events" User Authentication failure

I will send some Remote Apple-Events from a local machine to a remote Mac Mini (OS X Server 10.5.4) with "eppc://admin:[email protected]". But i get the error message "User Authentication failure -927".
Mounting the remote Volume is no problem with the same user and password strings "afp://admin:[email protected]" so i think that the user and passwort is correct.
I have reset the Keychains and have no further ideas. Any hints?

Have you checked that the account you're using is allowed to send AppleEvents?
(System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Apple Events)
I set the access for AppleEvents for all Users on the local machine as well on the remote server. Send AppleEvents from server to the local machine seems working.
Are there special settings on OS X Server for user privileges in the "Workgroup Manager", i'm not very skilled with UID and GID?

Remote apple events - broken with new version of Xcode

It's been a couple of years since I programed my app in Xcode. I am in the process of adding features, but controlling iTunes with remote apple events seems to be broken when I compile with the new version of Xcode. I haven't changed any of the code involving the remote computer.
Are there any known issues? Any code that works differently with the new version?

It seems that the problem wasn't the fault of the new incarnation of Xcode. The user name on the remote machine I was using for testing had a space in it. Apparently the call to the remote machine is sensitive to Unix path rules and cannot contain a space. Thanks to all who scratched their brains on this question

Go URL - User Authentication Failure

Hi,
I am trying to use a 'Go URL' in web application and I see some issue with authentication mechanism.
I was able to login and view the dashboard whenever the username used in the 'Go URL' is from the console. But if the user who is from Active directory is used in the 'Go URL' link, then I get the login page saying 'Invalid username or password'. When I check the log file, it says ' [53012] User Authentication Failure'.
Also the AD user can login from the login page, but not thru 'Go-URL' link.
Can anyone let me know whether I am missing any step?
Thanks

If you dont user NQUser and NQPassword then they will be prompted for a password. you need to http://<hostname.domain>:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=<your GO URLpath>*&NQuser=USERNAME&NQPassword=PASSWORD*
You should not access if URL without logging in.
Also on different note:

Just retype a new password then Restart BI All Services then test it.How is BISystemUser even related to Go URL .or this issue .?
Hope this helps.

How can I turn on Remote Apple Events on client computers via MCX?

I would like to turn on Remote Apple Events on all client computers in our network. Is there some way to push this out via MCX?
Thanks
Christian

I think if there is a way to program a different remote first like a direct tv remote, then you could turn on home sharing and then use either that universal remote or the IOS device. I cannot figure out how to program my direct tv remote for my apple tv though.

Remote apple event multiple users

I'm trying to automate a image manipulation process on our server. Work's fine with one user, but other users are not allowed to send apple events to the server.
Where can i set who can send apple events?
Or do i have to use the servers active users login and password?
Thanks for any advice

Everyone needs to send the name and password of the user on the target machine for the script to go through. You may be able to block all but certain users with a firewall, the relevant port is TCP 3031.
Another idea is to attach the script to a folder on the server, and have people drop files to be processed on that. It's also possible to set up a web interface for the script with acgi dispatcher.

ISE internal user authentication failure - user not found

Hi Forumers'
I trying to do wireless 802.1x, where identity store using intenral user.
But i found this error message when i trying to connect
Authentication failed :
22056 Subject not found in the applicable identity store(s)
My authrorization rules is built like this
identity groups = user identities group / " mygroup"
condition = no setting
permissions = standard / PermitAccess
Question 1
Any troubleshooting step to do on this?
Question 2
For the Authorization rules, what's the condition should set for using Internal User as Identity store?
Thanks
Noel

The error is caused to an authentication failure and is not an issue with authorization
You need to look at your authentications policy (Policy->Authentications) and see which identity store was authenticated against
In addition can do the Live Authentications page (Monitor->Authentications) and for the failing record click on the icon under details. This will give you the full details of the requets processing and you can see which rule was matched in the identity policy (Identity Policy Matched Rule) and "Selected Identity Stores".

Anyconnect 3 NAM Profile user authentication failure

Hello,
I use Cisco Anyconnect as a supplicant for my 802.1x enabled network, we use EAP-TLS. I created a wired profile with the standalone profile manager and deployed it to my clients. Machine authentication works fine, but as soon as i log in to the device the user authentication is not working and the anyconnect falls back to an open wired network.
I don't see any logs in my ACS.
But when i create a profile on the device itself the EAP-TLS authentication works without any issues.
any ideas?
regards
alex

Hello Luke-
I have faced the same issue with MAR (Machine Access Restriction) in the past. It all worked great while we had wireless authentication only but things went out of control once we started to roll out wired
I have been working with ISE for a little bit now and I can tell you that the same issue is still present. It would be pretty nice if they can "fix" this but as of right now you would face the same exact issue. So if you want to do user+machine authentication, you have a couple of options that were recently discussed in this thread:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3775027#3775027
To answer your other question:
So is there a trick to get NAM to trigger machine re-authentication without having to reboot?
Back when I had this issue I was able to "trick" the native windows client to perform machine authentication again by going to "Start Menu > Shut Down > Switch User." In the new window it is important not to click on the already logged user but to select "New/Different User." There you can still type the same credentials for the already logged user. This seemed to force the machine to pass its machine credentials again without having to reboot the machine which is till not ideal and not user friendly at all but that is all I have Also, do keep in mind that I have not tested this with the AnyConnect client so results may vary.
Thank you for rating!

Mail user authentication failure

My site has been suffering from a problem with access from Macs running Mail to POP3 mailboxes hosted on Snow Leopard server mail from at least 10.6.3 upwards (including the latest build of 10.6.5). It manifests itself as the notorious failed connections with Snow Leopard Mail, but the cause appears fairly clear.
If I look at the Mail Server logs (Mail Access) I can clearly see that the connection was rejected with the error message "unable to lookup user record ". If I then look at the Password Service Server Log it is clear that this server did not receive the authentication request, as it is not present in the log even though many successful authentications both prior to and subsequent to the failed one are present.
So somewhere between the Mail Server and the Password Server some authentication requests are going astray. It is only a very occasional occurrence but it appears to be totally random in nature - authentication will carry on correctly for hours and sometimes days, but then all of a sudden an authentication request will fail and Mail trips out on the client system. Once you reset Mail things again proceed fine but it is a nuisance that this happens at all.
I would like to see Apple address this in one of two ways - either sort out why the occasional authentication request fails, or alternatively make Mail not be quite so pedantic. If a connection fails then tolerate it - this does happen occasionally, for many different reasons, and it is a big nuisance having to calm Mail down when it does. Why not just have an error window like Entourage which you can look at if you want to see when errors have occurred?
In the meantime, if anyone has any good ideas about why the authentication requests fail on occasion I would be delighted to hear. This didn't happen at all originally for many iterations of the server software until suddenly it did start occurring, so it must be possible to make it work reliably!

Unfortunately changing the access setting was not possible on my system - it is already set that way and the problem is still occurring.
In order to see this happening in the logs, using Server Admin, firstly check in the Mail Access log for the Mail server for an unsuccessful (rejected) connection by a user that can normally access without problems. Check the exact datestamp.
Then take a look at the Password Service Server Log in Open Directory at that datestamp and you will find that there is no entry, whereas there will be entries for all the successful logons. There won't be anything in the password server error log.
Taken together this suggests to me that the request from the mail server to the password server is just getting lost between the two for some reason and never reaches the password server.
It would be great to hear from others that they are also experiencing this same cause for their logon unreliability problems. As I say above, I think the problem is a combination of the fault with the two components on the server coupled with Mail's unnecessarily pedantic handling of failed logons. Both should be fixed pronto, but I would settle for Mail being cured of its ridiculously over the top panicking over something that can happen even on more reliable mail servers.

WLAN USER AUTHENTICATION FAILURE

Hello All,
I have an enterprise WLAN which users are authenticating with the AAA server (CISCO ACS 4.2).
We recently migrated this WLAN from autonomous mode to lightweight mode by introducing a wireless LAN controller and changed the AAA server device to CISCO ISE with base license.
The challenge now is that some wireless users are connecting to this new controller based WLAN while other users are not authenticating.
Hint: On the ISE, we implemented PEAP authentication. I noticed that some of end wireless devices (Laptops) are configured for LEAP instead of PEAP. I have made these changes but the issues still persists.
Any help please.
Regards,
Ethelbert Ezeaputa

Hi
The description of your problem is vague. What are the authentication error logs on ISE? What state are clients on WLC? Could also post the debug client Mac address

Remote Apple events, making a computer speak

hi, i've been trying to make an applescript application with xcode, i've made every thing else work on the remote computer, such as opening new finder windows and quitting applications.
But the thing which i cant get to work is getting the remote computer to say something ? Ive tried
tell application "finder" of machine "eppc://ibookg4.local"
say "hello"
end tell
this doesn't work for some reason.... lol i get this error "finder got an error: "hello" doesn’t understand the say message."
Can some one tell me the correct code please ?
Thanks
Aaron

The only way I found to make any Standard Additions command work on a remote computer is to first launch the Script Editor on that remote computer. Only then do statements like the following seem to work:
tell application "Script Editor" of machine "eppc://myUserName:[email protected]"
beep 2
delay 1
say "hello"
end tell
Even then, some commands don't work, like in the following example:
tell application "Script Editor" of machine "eppc://myUserName:[email protected]"
display dialog "Hello Pierre !" giving up after 30
end tell
--> Script Editor got an error: No user interaction allowed.
Surely there's a better solution.

Remote Apple Events: Quit = OK, Activate = nothing

As part of a process that I am automating I need to quit iTunes on a remote machine, do something, and then start iTunes again.
I can get the Quit part to work, but an Activate directed at this machine's iTunes does nothing (and no error is returned).
This is what I am using (same structure for Quit):
set remMachine to "nameofmachine.local"
using terms from application "iTunes"
try
tell application "iTunes" of machine remMachine
activate
end tell
end try
end using terms from
I am sure that this is something simple, but any help would be much appreciated.
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

You can't tell an app on a remote machine to launch or activate, it's a catch 22 situation. The work around is to get the app path, then tell Finder to open it:
set remMachine to "eppc://nameofmachine.local"
tell application "Finder" of machine remMachine
set itunes_path to (application file id "com.apple.iTunes") as string
open item itunes_path
end tell

User authentication failure: BISystemUser.

Hello All,
Created an AD authentication and faced the above error. Backed out the AD and still getting the above error. in BI Server logs and the Presentation Server does not start.
Did you guys face this issue before, if so what was your resolution ?
Thanks !

Do I need to re-innstall the environment ? Changed the password for BISystemUser and changed the same in credential Store, but still the issue persists. Also refreshed the GUIDS..
Thanks

Remote Apple Events and Remote Management

Good day: Simple question - I discovered that RAE and RM were both on in my Sharing prefs; I did not turn them on. Can an application turn them on automatically, or was someone spying?

Your text is not clear: you wish to connect to the internet, and you cannot do that? or you want to share your internet connection, to be used by other computers, and you do not know how to do this?
The title of your thread indicates the latter (this is the meaning of share), but your text rather indicates the former situation.
In order to share net, you must first mac connected to the net up and running, but I understand you did not get to that point, right?
Please be clear.

Prime 2.0: User Auth Failure Count

Hello
In Prime 2.0, on the Home page> General, you can view dashlets showing various bits of information.
One of those available is User Auth Failure Count and I am trying to establish what this table is showing me and if I can get this information out of Prime in a CSV format for example, in order to do some correlation with RADIUS logs.
I want to establish whether the users being reported as having an auth failure are actually managing to get onto the network eventually, or whether we have an authentication problem we need to tackle.
The only reference in Cisco documentation I have found to date says the following, which is not helpful to me:
"User Auth Failure Count
This dashlet displays a chart which shows user authentication failure count trend over time. "
Does anyone know if this information is exportable somehow?
thanks
Bryn

Hi Scott
I agree with your point that the historical data is available via MSE, but I now come round to my first question, which is how do I get to the data from Prime?
I cannot find a report to run to get the Failed Auth User Count data, although it must be there for the information to be populating the dashlet
I think I will have to try our Cisco contact
thanks
Bryn

Remote Access VPN Users with CX Active Authentication.

I have ASA 5515 with CX for webfiltering , also have enabled remote access vpn . All my inside users are able to get active and passive authentication correctly . But for remote access VPN users , they are redirected to ASA external ip and CX authentication port 9000 but a blank page comes in and there is no prompt for authentication. I wasnt doing split tunneling , but now i have excluded ASA WAN ip from the tunnel and still have the same issue.
The CX version we have is 9.3.1.1

Have you excluded the VPN traffic from being NATed when traffic is going between clients?
Please post a full sanitised configuration of the router so we can check it for configuration issues.
