Strange log entries (authentication fail) wth Home...

I was idly checking the event log on my Homehub 3B and noticed something odd (to me) under the GUI category. An extract from the log reads...
12:51:50,26 July. HTTP User admin login from 192.168.1.64 successfully.
12:28:26,26 July. HTTP User Basic login from 192.168.1.64 successfully.
13:51:09,25 July. HTTP authentication Fail from 118.113.54.xx
14:36:57,23 July. HTTP authentication Fail from 121.229.212.xxx
14:40:16,22 July. HTTP authentication Fail from 118.114.109.xxx
The successful logins are from myself, on the local network, i.e. http://bthomehub.home/ but what are those Fail messages? A quick check using a port-probing tool http://.grc.com/ shows that all my ports are stealthed so how can anyone be accessing the router and getting as far a receiving an authentification failure response?
Im not alarmed, particulalry, but just intensely curious. Anyone any ideas?

  • Strange log entry on WLC5508?

    following log entry on a WLC5508 (7.4.100.0) is permanentely filling up the log buffer and the WLC operates in low performance.

    Has somebody an idea what the issue is or can be? Or has it been monitored from someone else on other installations as well?
    Both AP's does have different IP adresses from DHCP server x.y.z.248 and x.y.z.249. WLC is working as internal DHCP server. DHCP proxy is disabled. From what could this strange address 0.2.146.0 come from? I've never seen such an address like 0.2.146.0
    I would like to appriciate any kind of help or suggestions
    thanks a lot

    This is another common issue that is seen when the AP tries to join the  WLC. You might see this error message when the AP tries to join the  controller.
         No more AP manager IP addresses remain
    One of the reasons for this error message is when there is a duplicate  IP address on the network that matches the AP manager IP address. In  such a case, the LAP keeps power cycling and cannot join the controller.
    The debugs will show that the WLC receives LWAPP discovery requests from  the APs and transmits a LWAPP discovery response to the APs. However,  WLCs do not receive LWAPP join requests from the APs.
    In order to troubleshoot this issue, ping the AP manager from a wired  host on the same IP subnet as the AP manager. Then, check the ARP cache.  If a duplicate IP address is found, remove the device with the  duplicate IP address or change the IP address on the device so that it  has a unique IP address on the network.
    The AP can then join the WLC.

  • Screen Sharing authentication fails or shows only a small black box

    Hi everybody!
    I've been working on a issue and as I found a solution only by collecting bits of help from all over the web, I thought I could help somebody else by posting it here, where I found lots of help on other issues myself.
    Here's the topic: I couldn't connect to my 10.5.7 OS X Server via Screen Sharing anymore. Everything else worked fine, i.e. I could login to all other services (AFP, LoginWindow, VPN, etc.).
    I saw some strange errors in my Kerberos-Server log. As I thought of an OD or Kerberos problem, I tried different things concerning these services. Running "kinit <yourusername>" got me to the point where the authentication didn't fail anymore, but all I could see was a little (i.e. ~ 100x200px) black box instead of my server's screen.
    The problem finally turned out to be NOT connected to my strange log entries but with somehow having turned on "Remote Management" in Server Admin. Here's my solution to it:
    1. Turn off "Remote Management".
    Server Admin -> Settings -> General, tick off "Remote Management"
    2. Turn on Screen Sharing.
    2.1 ssh to your server.
    2.2. cd /Library/Preferences
    2.3. echo -n enabled > com.apple.ScreenSharing.launchd
    That's it after that I was able to log in again. Thanks goes to a lot of folks out there in the web, not to me.

  • How to use Message FIlter to log postfix authenticated sender header

    I'm trying to log the username from the postfix authenticated sender header information.
    Here is an example of the header:
    Received: from [123.123.123.123] (client.domain.edu [234.234.234.234])
    (using TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client
     certificate requested) (Authenticated sender: [email protected]) by
     postfix.domain.edu (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id DE8A3E9429 for
     <[email protected]>; Thu, 12 Jun 2014 12:16:56 -0700 (PDT)
    And here is the message filter I'm working on:
    if (recv-int == "OutboundIP") {
    if(header('Received') == '\\(Authenticated sender: .+@ad\\.domain\\.edu\\)') {
    log-entry("Authenticated Sender: '$MatchedContent'");
    Everything is working except for the $MatchedContent variable.  It is creating the custom log entry but it is only showing as "Authenticated Sender: "
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the $MatchedContent variable to work or another way to log that username?

    Try taking out the ' from around your '$MatchedContent'...
    My example:
    dictionary_match:
    if (dictionary-match('not_allowed_words')){
    edit-header-text ("Subject", "^", "Notice Content Matched on: $MatchedContent");
    log-entry("#---# This email had: $MatchedContent #---#");
    notify('[email protected]');
    Sent an email with a known "secret" in the email body... and "secret" is in my "not_allowed_words" dictionary... so it'll trip my "dictionary_match" message filter...

    Iv'e previously posted on another thread regarding .203 HH5 firmware update, but this is a new problem, which is strange.
    Hence a new topic.
    Two or three times per day there's a log entry suggesting an imminent reboot and parameter change. The authentication always fails so the boot is not implemented. This has been going on for 2 days following some sort of wifi checking software imposed on the hub - another TR069 event.
    Also I get the Set Parameter by TR069 Success every 30 mins - only when the laptop and every other device is off or not connected to wifi - e.g. overnight.
    At this rate there will be a stack overflow in the logs, which could overwrite everything else. Hope that part the firmware can handle this situation!!
    Any ideas - I performed a factory reset of the Hub on 05-02-2015. 

    Further progress.
    Performed factory reset at 8-00am today.
    This time the reset was done with a wooden cocktail stick pushed into the recess at the rear of the hub.
    There was no backup or restore of settings, as this in done quickly here, just disable 5GHz sync, separate SSids, disable smat setup , disable smart wireless, change admin password.
    A factory reset should in principle, just be changing the logic input into the hub CPU reset pin.
    That's how it was always done in the past, from my own experience in industry with industrial CPUs.
    Perhaps the HH series has its' own rules, as it does with remote management - keep the customer in the dark, etc, as you would with mushrooms.

  • OBIA 7.9.5 EBS Integration Not Logged On nQSError 43001 Authentication Fail

    Hi,
    I'm attempting to get Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 7.9.5 / OBIEE 10.1.3.3.2 integrated into the eBusiness Suite 11.5.10.2 per Metalink Note 552735.1. At the moment not an action link, just menu option to SA Administrator.
    I've run into and worked around a number of problems with the Initialization block variables setup in OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd and now no longer get errors in the NQServer.log after disabling Initialization Blocks for Siebel/Peoplesoft and disabling 2 EBS specific Init blocks that were erroring; 'Inventory Organizations' and 'Ledgers' I'll fix those later.
    However, now I get an error in the sawlog0.log file as follows:

    Can anyone point me in the right direction here?
    Thanks,

    The strange thing is both Gareth and I have configured OBIA/OBIEE on a Linux server and local authentication works fine. Once we enable external EBS authentication, we get the error listed above.
    Does anyone who has done the OBIA EBS integration with OBIEE running on Linux have an example of the odbc.ini file. It appears that even though we have reconfigured OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd to use OCI everywhere, that there is still some hard coded ODBC references for external authentication.
    We are configuring instanceconfig.xml as directed:
    Integrating Oracle Business Intelligence Applications with Oracle E-Business Suite
    https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=552735.1
    Configuring InstanceConfig.xml for External Authentication
    1. Modify the instanceconfig.xml file for the Oracle BI Presentation Services as shown below:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <WebConfig>
    <ServerInstance>
    <CatalogPath>c:\temp\default</CatalogPath>
    <DSN>AnalyticsWeb</DSN>
    <Auth>
    <ExternalLogon enabled="true">
    <ParamList>
    <Param name="NQ_SESSION.ICX_SESSION_COOKIE"
    source="cookie"
    nameInSource="EBSAppsDatabaseSID"/>
    <Param name="NQ_SESSION.ACF"
    source="url"
    nameInSource="ACF"/>
    </ParamList>
    </ExternalLogon>
    </Auth>
    <!-- Other settings here. -->
    </ServerInstance>
    </WebConfig>
    2. The nameInSource for the cookie should be the same as the Oracle E-Business Suite application database SID name. To verify the name of the cookie, using Firefox, check the name of the cookie created under the us.oracle.com domain (or the domain where your Oracle E-Business Suite Application server is running). Please note that the cookie name is case sensitive.

  • ACS Expert troubleshooter fails to display existing log entry

    Hello everybody,
    II ran into the following issue – let say RADIUS log (today) displays there are entries for user ABC (both successful and unsuccessful). BUT – when use the 'expert troubleshooter' to search for exactly the same user (both pass or fail authentication), the search results comes out empty.
    This happens for all log entries (=users) and on different computers on different browsers. ACS version is 5.4 (upgraded to different patches to no avail).
    Anybody experienced that? An existing bug notice will also be appreciated.

    Yet, I have not seen any bug for this: You please have a look on the guide to understand the functionally of Expert Troubleshooter:

  • Cannot access the Inbound Refinery Logs, authentication failed.

    I installed the Inbound Refinery as a proxied server on the same computer of Content Server.
    When I login Inbound Refinery using 'sysadmin' and try to access the "Logs-Refinery Logs", the authentication dialog appears.
    I am sure that I input the right password for user sysadmin here, but the authentication dialog jumps out again and again until the authentication failed.
    Who can tell me how to solve this problem? Your help will be very appreciated.

    Hi
    Well that is not possible since the logs are native to IBR and to access them you need to provide the refadmin access itself. But the other IBR access are with sysadmin since it is added as a proxy server to existing CS instance.

  • Cannot log in to The Adobe Content Viewer on my iPad - Says Authentication Failed?

    Cannot login to the Adobe Content Viewer on my ipad.
    Says: Authentication Failed...

    Check two things:
    1) Make sure your device is connected to the Internet.
    2) Make sure that the Adobe ID you're using is verified to work with DPS. On a computer, sign in to https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com, and follow the prompts.
    Let us know if you have a valid Adobe ID and you're still getting this error.

    I am having a very difficult time making a simple login program work
    I am using Java SDK 1.4.2_02 on a Windows 2000 host, the DS is on the same host
    My Directory Server is Sun One Directory Server 5.2
    I am using the JAAS package, with a JndiLoginModule

    Can anyone help? I�ve been pounding on this for a few days and it is getting frustrating.
    Thanks in advance
    Jim

    Here it is along with some bat files to make and run. I can't understand why it does not work. It is mostly a slightly modified example from Sun. I'm using Sun code, a Sun Directory Server and a Sun's JndiLoginModule so why the damn thing does not work is a mystery. I have looked EVERYWHERE for a sample JAAS/LDAP Authenicate code and can't find a thing. Makes me think there isn't any and JAAS is not the way to go. I and going to try with a different DS maybe open LDP or active Directory and if that doesn't work I'll forget JAAS and use JNDI instead.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks in advance
    jim

  • "Authentication failed" - exceeding Airport Extreme's max users with less than 10 devices connected?

    I am running an Airport Extreme with two Airport Expresses on my network.  There are two macbook pros, two iphones, two ipads, a PS3 and a chromecast in the household, a max of probably 5 or 6 of which are turned on at any given time.  Normally everything works perfectly, but occasionally my wife or I will get an "authentication failed" message while trying to log onto our home network, and after wasting time resetting the router, checking settings, etc, the only sure fire way to reconnect seems to be to make sure the chromecast and a couple of the iphones are turned off. 
    If I remember correctly, the max number of connections to an airport extreme is 50?  Obviously not ideal but it shouldn't be refusing connections when 6 or 7 devices are trying to hook up.  We have had the same issue when firends come to visit.  I can't find any obvious problems in the airport setup, and I have my DHCP range set from xx.xx.xx.2 to 200. 
    Any ideas?

    is it the same device generating the error
    i have had up to 40 devices on a single extreme maybe with 10 actively working others when needed with no issue
