Username and Password Prompt Blocked Internet Explorer

I'm not sure that's IE behavior. I've never seen nor read about it before.

Hi All and thanks for your help!
I've wasted hours trying to find which of my (many many group policies) might be causing the IE to block the username / password prompt on this website.
What I've tried :
1. testing GPOs one by one on a VM to check which one is causing this
2. adding the site to trusted, local internet and what not
3. disabling credentials pass-through in IE
Can anyone please tell me which registry setting controls this behavior ?

Reporting Services username and password prompting

We have several branch office locations and one reporting services server. All of the branch office locations can access the reporting services server, but we have one location for the passed week, each time they make a connection to this server, it prompts
them for a username and password and will not allow them to connect even if the correct username and password is correct.
I have tried adding the server to the IE intranet/trusted site list. Set IE security on all zones to automatically logon with current username and password.
What is strange is that this is the only branch office site that is having this issue. It is almost like kerberos is broken for this site location only.
DOes anyone has any suggestions what could be causing this problem for all computers in this one location. Nothing has changed on their local servers nor have we pushed any updates to the machines.

Hi bubba1984,
As per my understanding, I think this issue is caused by Kerberos authentication. Kerberos is an authentication protocol that allows clients that create authentication tokens to associate a specific destination to that token. In the failure case, there is
a mismatch between the destination specified in the token and the report server process configuration. Due to this mismatch, the underlying Kerberos authentication scheme supported by Windows prevents report server from authenticating the user.
To fix this issue, please try to remove RSWindowsNegotiate and ensure RSWindowsNTLM is specified in the rsreportserver.config file. For more details, please take the following article as reference:

Hope this helps.

Annoyed by OTN username and password prompting

Sorry it's really starting to annoy me that I always have to enter my OTN username and password between every browser session. Why can it not use a cockie or whatever to keep me logged in at least for the day. Or better, let me save the password in my keychain so that I only have to press the "Sign In" button when the login appears.
Firefox has a built in "save password" option, which will supply username and password when accessing a particular web page. It works with sites like ebay and many other common sites, but for some reason it does not work with OTN. When accessing OTN it never prompts me if I want Firefox to remember the password. I'm not using private browsing and have no site in the save password exception list.
I found an add-on named "Saved Password Editor". It allows to manually add username and password entries associated with a web site. But since almost any software calls home today I rather not use any 3rd party tool to deal with security sensitive information. I checked the tool and it did not call home, but who knows what happens later.
Any other ideas?
FWIW: firefox - How does browser know when to prompt user to save password? - Stack Overflow
Maybe the problem is simply because the login uses "ossusername" instead of "username" in the login form.

So what is the message? I have no particular objection to any solution that fixes the issue, beside installing 3rd party browser extensions.
How about the following? Checking https://login.oracle.com/mysso/signon.jsp on http://web-sniffer.net shows:
Set-Cookie: ORA_UCM_VER=; domain=.oracle.com; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 01:00:00 GMT; path=/
Unfortunately I cannot set my system date prior to 1970 to see what happens, but would the cookie allow me to login without the need to specify my username and password again until the cookie expires? Would that be a feasible option instead of enabling form autocomplete?
Speaking of which, the OTN forum defines "Cache-Control: private, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate". This setting disables browser caching. I found the browser's back button very useful in the past to be able to get back the content of the forum editor, for instance, when some error occurred submitting the response or when I accidentally opened another web page. This used to work in the previous forum.
The editor's new recovery function so far has been rather confusing or completely useless for me. It does not help after being logged out without notice. It actually just happened and I received an "unexpected error" while posting this response, loosing all text. (Un)fortunately I'm used to either copy and paste the content before submitting or use my own text editor. But cutting and pasting has become a different story now after the forum upgrade with the buggy editor.
Meanwhile I understand that OTN cannot fix the problems with the forum software, but perhaps the login could be improved.

Cannot see AAA banner, username and password prompts on IOS switch

Hi,
I have configured RADIUS authentication for VTY access to a Catalyst 2960S running 15.0(2)SE2.
The RADIUS server is a Microsoft server running the Network Policy and Access Service role (Microsoft's own RADIUS server).
Everything is ok apart from the login prompts. I want to customise these with a banner, username prompt and password prompt. I have added the lines below to my config:
aaa authentication banner ^Chello^C
aaa authentication password-prompt "Enter your password:"
aaa authentication username-prompt "Enter your username:"
However when I ssh to the switch I just see the output below:
login as: james.hawkins
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Password:
ASWTRE-BF01#
My config is shown below:
aaa authentication banner ^Chello^C
aaa authentication password-prompt "Enter your password:"
aaa authentication username-prompt "Enter your username:"
aaa authentication login default local-case
aaa authentication login SSH group radius local-case
aaa authentication enable default enable
aaa authorization exec default local
aaa authorization exec SSH group radius local
radius server TREREC-01
address ipv4 10.3.32.51 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
key 7 08171E61K281D08461C
line con 0
logging synchronous
line vty 0 4
exec-timeout 360 0
authorization exec SSH
logging synchronous
login authentication SSH
transport input ssh
line vty 5 15
exec-timeout 360 0
authorization exec SSH
logging synchronous
login authentication SSH
transport input ssh
Is there anything that I am missing?

James:
you use the line:
aaa authentication login SSH group radius local-case
are you sure that the RADIUS is reachable? if the radius is not reachable it will check the local DB for the username. I am not pretty sure if local DB auth displays the banner.
Rating useful replies is more useful than saying "Thank you"

Username and Password Prompt

We just purchased Crystal Reports 2008 after using version 8.0. I've been creating reports form our ERP software's VFP datbase files using 8.0. With the 2008 version of Crystal I'm prompted for a username and password when trying to access the database when first trying to set up a new report. Specifically, I try to start a new report, choose ODBC, visual foxpro database, then get prompted for the username and password. I'm doing this on my station just to test out the report and have tried my username and password with no success. Any suggestions?

What I thought was solved has instead evolved. While the access to the localized testing version of my database still doesn't require a log in, attempting to access the production database from my station does stop me at the log in prompt.
There is no username and password set up for the connection on my older install of Crystal. And I'm being prompted for the same thing when I tried opening it using OLE DB as suggested by Sastry above.
Any ideas oh great and powerful collective Oz? Toto? Anybody?

Code for filling username and password prompted by other application

Hallo friends...
I am bit new to java..
I need to start few softwares like CAD applications thru java. Few applications prompt user name & password. Is it possible to get the prompt window and automaticall fillin the username, password and then activate the OK button. Appreciate any hints / sample codes...
Thanks and Regards
Arun

that would depend on the application.
Screen scraping APIs may exist that can help you with this, but that's an ugly and errorprone way to do things.
Better contact the company that created the application and see what kind of APIs they have to control the thing remotely.
I know that's possible with Autocad (though I don't know if it's possible directly from Java), I'd be surprised if their major competitors don't offer similar capabilities.

Blackberry email: I've forgotten my username and password for blackberry internet services/ it's not working?

I just got a replacement phone, and now when I try to set up my email again, it comes up with ''Existing users'' sign in blah blah. There aren't any other options. Either it's not working or I've completely forgotten my user name and/or password.
Either way, I can't set up my email, and I've spent over an hour on the phone to Orange (to no avail), ending in them telling me to call them again later or tomorrow. Has anyone experienced this problem before and/or know what to do?

Can you go to http://www.blackberry.orange.co.uk/, choose forgot password and follow the prompts? I'm shocked the carrier could not reset this for you!

SharePoint 2010 Word, Excel Office Docs keep prompting for Username and Password

Users access SharePoint externally. They have the URL in their IE Intranet zone. They can login and browse OK but when they click a Word, Excel or Office document they get prompted for Windows Username and Password. This works but is never saved, so every
time they try to open a Word Document they get a blank Windows Username and Password prompt.
I have tried every suggestion I can find but nothing works

GetURL needs to incorporate username and password!!!!

Hi,
I need a Java program to go to a URL and then save the web page in a text file. I have successfully done this by finding the GetURL method (see bottom of page). But I need to do it for a URL where a standard username and password prompt appears. I know I need to use the following piece of code somewhere in the GetURL program to bypass this authorisation:
HTTPConnection con = new HTTPConnection(this);
con.addBasicAuthorization("protected-space", "goofy", "woof");
The problem is that I am a complete Java novice and am desperately trying to finish a project, therefore I just don�t have the time to learn the language.
Can someone PLEASEEEEEEE tell me how I can incorporate the above code into the following GetURL program (which I know works for URL�s without the authorisation needed):
[by the way, the URL is in the program below and the username = Bazza99 and the password = upge5w7u]
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
* This simple program uses the URL class and its openStream() method to
* download the contents of a URL and copy them to a file or to the console.
public class GetURL {
public static void main(String[] args) {
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
try {
// Check the arguments
if ((args.length != 1) && (args.length != 2))
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Wrong number of arguments");
// Set up the streams
URL url = new URL("http://www.advfn.com/cmn/fun/advfnFun.php?epic=BAA"); // Create the URL
in = url.openStream(); // Open a stream to it
if (args.length == 2) // Get an appropriate output stream
out = new FileOutputStream("badata.txt");
else out = System.out;
// Now copy bytes from the URL to the output stream
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
int bytes_read;
while((bytes_read = in.read(buffer)) != -1)
out.write(buffer, 0, bytes_read);
// On exceptions, print error message and usage message.
catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
System.err.println("Usage: java GetURL <URL> [<filename>]");
finally { // Always close the streams, no matter what.
try { in.close(); out.close(); } catch (Exception e) {}

Hi,
I wasn't sure how to incorporate your code into the GetURL program (afriad I am a java novice). I tried to run the code at the bottom of the page but it came back with the following error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://www.advfn.com/cmn/fun/advfnFun.php?epic=BAA
Usage: java GetURL <URL> [<filename>]
code run:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
* This simple program uses the URL class and its openStream() method to
* download the contents of a URL and copy them to a file or to the console.
public class GetURL {
public static void main(String[] args) {

try {
// Check the arguments
if ((args.length != 1) && (args.length != 2))
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Wrong number of arguments");
// Set up the streams
URL url = new
URL("http://www.advfn.com/cmn/fun/advfnFun.php?epic=BAA"); // Create the URL
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + new
sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode("(Bazza99):(upge5w7u)".getBytes()));
in = conn.getInputStream();
if (args.length == 2) // Get an appropriate output stream
out = new FileOutputStream("baadata.txt");
else out = System.out;
// Now copy bytes from the URL to the output stream
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
int bytes_read;
while((bytes_read = in.read(buffer)) != -1)
out.write(buffer, 0, bytes_read);
// On exceptions, print error message and usage message.
catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
System.err.println("Usage: java GetURL <URL> [<filename>]");
finally { // Always close the streams, no matter what.

Prompting for UserName and Password when I click Report Server Web Service URLs in ssrs 2008 R2

Hi All,
I am using SQL Server Reporting services 2008 R2 . When I tried to open report server webservice URL in SSRS 2008 R2 It is prompting username and password. I tried to resolve the issue by deleting the  line in rsreportserver.config but still I am getting the same prompt
and i tried by putting the server URL in trusted sites in IE also still no luck. I referred the below link 'http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lukaszp/archive/2008/03/26/solving-the-reporting-services-login-issue-in-the-february-ctp-of-sql-server-2008.aspx'
I am getting the same error.
Can anyone help me out to resolve this issue easily.
Thanks
Dathy

Hi Dathy,
Generally, this is a very common issue in Reporting Services 2008 R2, the blog you post is a good blog that summary the common solutions. If it doesn’t help, could you please try the following:
Open Internet Explorer, go to Tools and click on Internet Options.
Under the Security tab, click on Trusted sites and click the Sites button and Add Report Manager/Report Server URL to the trusted sites.
Then click Custom Level, and check the option Automatic logon with current user name and password.
Repeat step 3 and step 4 for Local Intranet.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Word 2010 prompts for username and password when opening a document on trusted website

Hi Guys,
We have a website (not sure if the site is a sharepoint site) on our trusted domain that asked for username and password when trying to access it. I added the site to our trusted sites zone and this resolved the issue however when I try to open word documents
I get prompted for usernames and password again if I cancel the credentials box the document opens with no issues.
Below is some of the steps i have taken
- Tried opening other non office documents (e.g. PDF, JPEG) and they open with no issues
- Tried to opening the word documents with a system that only had word pad install and not Office 2010 and the documents open with no issues so it looks like it's an office 2010 problem
Can you please advise how I can resolve this issue and if this is a client issue or an issue on the web server thanks

Hi,
This issue is caused by the Office suit itself. When Internet Explorer opens an Office document, the appropriate Office application is started with the path of the document. The Office application then tries to access the document directly from
the server. This differs from other browsers and other file types. Most browsers download the file and call the application to open the file from the local cache. However, when this occurs, if the opened file is changed and saved,
the changes are only made to the local copy and not to the server copy.
To establish the richest experience possible, the first thing that the Office application does is communicate with the server to determine the server type and what web authoring protocol is available. The application does this by making
an OPTIONS request directly to the server.
As a new process accessing the server, the Office application is required to renegotiate authentication. This method is more secure than a method in which the new process uses an existing authentication that was established by the browser.
Please try the following methods:
An alternative with full functionality but with a calculated risk
Client approaches that can reduce the impact
Alternative configurations when the web server does not support DAV or reduced functionality is acceptable

Users prompted for username and password after sharing removed from servers

Hello Community
    On Sharepoint 2010 Server using the UI in a 2 server farm with an intranet running on it and everything functions as it should. However it was noticed that from a users computer when in "Windows Explorer" if "Network"
is clicked the 2 servers are visible.
    The problem is that when the server are clicked on in Windows Explorer the files and folders on the hard drive of the servers are visible too.
    Subsequently I logged onto the server and when into "Properties' - "Sharing" and
unchecked the checkbox to "Share this folder".
    That solved the problem of the users being able to see and access the files
and folders on servers hard drives but now when the users log onto the intranet
they are prompted for a user name and password and even when they provide the user
name and password and the page is returned the prompt appears on the screen again(then they cancel out).
    What can be done about the user being prompted for username and password without sharing the drives on the servers ?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

What exactly was shared out from the SharePoint server's file system? There are certain things that are shared by default.

KB2986204 - After installing users being prompted for a username and password

After client machine have installed this update they are now being prompted for a Username and password when launching outlook. Setting up a fresh copy of outlook also prompts.
Is anyone else having this same issue?

For anyone still watching this issue, we're now up to 5 updates that cause this behaviour, we're having to block these on WSUS to prevent our customers being prompted for passwords on domain joined machines using NTLM.
KB2986204
KB2899504
KB2956087
KB2956170
KB2965270
Further progress since my last post in February. We upgraded to CU7 and now CU8 and the problem remains, but we think we have tracked the issue and have a case open with MS. If anyone else is able to test and confirm our findings it would be helpful to know,
below are the key aspects to look for:
- Outlook 2013 has one of the above updates installed.
- The UserPrincipalName ([email protected]) is different to the PrimarySMTPAddress ([email protected]) of the mailbox.
- The computer is domain joined.
- Mapi/HTTP is configured in the Exchange 2013 organisation.
- NTLM/Negotiate is used as the authentication mechanism.
If all of the above aspects are true for your configuration and you are able to re-produce the password prompting try altering the Mailbox PrimarySMTPAddress so that it's the same as the UserPrincipalName.
In our testing the issue went away when the UserPrincipalName and PrimarySMTPAddress matched, not that it gives us a solution as our customers are quite attached to their vanity email addresses, but it does highlight a specific type of behaviour under specific
circumstances.

Using Proxy on Lion - Continually being prompted for username and password

I am looking at Lion in my studio setup at the moment and so far only a few things I am not happy with. One of these though is really annoying and in it's present form would stop me from using it in production.
I have setup the proxies in the Network tab as they are in 10.6.8 but I continually get prompted for my username and password. Not an issue if it was my machine and I would be using at home for instance but in the studio no. It could be anyone using the machine and some people do not have proxy access.
I do not want to store in the general network settings as a default username for the machine as there is not one. Is there a way of seeing what is trying to look out to the internet? Would little Snitch help here?
Dialogue box I would like to get rid of it the red ! one below, as the only way to avoid this is by typing in a user name and password into the Network Preferences settings
I do not mind this one below as it is usually only appears when you require it and not randomly during the day.

I have installed Little Snitch and left running for the day.
So far helpd is the main culprit, so is there a way of disabling this other than using little snitch?
If only Little Snitch, has anyone deployed to around 25 Macs so that the user doesn't really notice?
