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?

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 *)
RpcWithCert: Accept *)
*) All these have to be Accept to get rid of login box
Best regards

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. -
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.

Outlook 2010 prompts for profile when 3rd party application tries to send mail
Hi,
I have been having an issue with Outlook 2010 and our in-house MIS system. The system uses Outlook to send mail out, and it works perfectly fine if Outlook is running at the time.
There is a problem though when Outlook is not running and the programs calls Outlook to send the mail, Outlook will display the "Choose Profile" dialog. Outlook basically launches in the background with the little gear icon in the system tray.
Is there any way to get rid of the select profile screen? Everything is already selected appropriately under Control Panel>Mail, Outlook does not prompt for profile when launched normally.
ThanksIt all depends on the code you are using to initiate Outlook.
It might be better to ask this in the developer forum down the hall:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/outlookdev/threads
Don't forget to post your sample code.

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
ShuvoHi Shuvo,
Please check whether this user can access mailbox in OWA. Please manual setup this account in Control Panel to have a try. Make sure your
Server name and User name are configured correctly. If you are configure the account in internal domain environment, please click
More Settings, set Negotiate Authentication in
Security tab and uncheck Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP in Connection tab.
If there is any updates, please feel free to let us know.
Thanks,

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 -
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.
Eric,
Thanks much for that link and the Apple Token workaround. That did the trick!
Thanks a lot for your help.

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.

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 1/19/07to 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.

How to disable the prompt for password when receiving a call on Lync mobile on iPhone
We are doing a pilot on Lync 2013. We have mobile phones: i Phones.
When we are receiving a call, we are prompted to enter password to take the call, which in certain cases, might be a real irritant. Is there a way to bypass, or simply removing this prompt?I am not aware of any password to receive calls (and certainly there's no option I am aware of within Lync mobility policy settings)
Is this a phone password (i.e. such as the PIN code) or do you enter your AD password?
If it's the phone password then you can turn it off through Settings > Passcode, unless it set by company policy (i.e through ActiveSync policies in which case this is set through Exchange). Bear in mind that if it is your phone password then you'll have
no security on your phone.

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.

Prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters
Post Author: Co3023
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
How do I stop CR XI prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters. When no dynamic parameters are used CR XI isn't prompting for the DB user name and password. The report is run from an application which passes the user name and password. I am using Oracle and the problem is both with the native oracle driver and the ODBC RDO driver.Post Author: jehanzeb
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I didnt ask you to change it to static I said I took the parameters totally out of the report. Saved it. Then re-enter the dynamic parameters into the report and it worked for me. That might have worked for you, not sure why you changed it to static.
Ok I have just created a quick report using dynamic parameters, it didnt ask me for the username password.
Can you create a sample report - just to test the db? and see if it works? add only 1 or 2 fields in the report, create parameters (dynamic) and see if it works
why don't you embed the username and password in your application, it won't ask for username password then.
