Users can no longer authenticate

I had FCS set up to auth AD users perfectly, then the other day it all stopped working. I've redone the steps to set up AD auth, but have had no success.
Where might I find information that could point me in the direction of whatever broke?

We have two users that have been using Creative Cloud for almost a year. Recently, sometime in the last 4ish weeks, the users can no longer run Creative Cloud apps. (Yes, our subscription is paid.) Error simply says administrator access is required

We have two users that have been using Creative Cloud for almost a year. Recently, sometime in the last 4ish weeks, the users can no longer run Creative Cloud apps. (Yes, our subscription is paid.) Error simply says administrator access is required to install. The apps have already been installed. The users cannot run them unless they are in the local admin group.Using "Run as admin" does not work. It gives the same error.
I have opened a case with adobe support and was basically told to suck it up and put the users in the admin group. Actually, what was said was that it is "mandated that the users have administrative rights".
There are a couple of things wrong with this. It was working for both users until recently - a recent required creative cloud update. The users have never been local admins yet the apps were working (poorly, but working).
We are in an enterprise environment and users simply do not have administrative rights on the computers.
I have changed permissions on all adobe folders, granting users or authenticated users modify or full control rights, did the same in whatever Adobe registry HKLM keys I could find. Nothing has allowed the users to run the apps - unless they are put in the local admin group.
Someone has to have a fix for this. Adobe apps have proved to have far too many vunerabilities to even entertain the idea of elevating user rights. I can't imagine that enterprise environments are allowing this.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Jeff,
Thank you for your response. The users in question are "standard" domain users. We do not reduce users permissions below the standard level.
The apps do not load with their current standard user permissions.
The thing that makes this odd, is that up until recently they did this issue with cloud apps. The only way I can make it work for them now is to put them in the local administrator group on their pc's - which is not going to happen.
This is what they now see. As I said before, this was not a problem up until recently they would see all their available apps. If I put them in the local admin group the apps are listed without having to install. Everything is there, just not accessible to the user.

Windows user can no longer connect to my File Sharing IP address

Hello,
Since updating to OS X 10.4.9, Windows users can no longer connect to my file sharing IP address.
I have had no problems when I was using 10.4.8, and I have re-checked both the Windows computer and my Mac to make sure that the file sharing connection should be possible.
I think this may be some sort of firewall / security issue (?) in that the 10.4.9 update has downloaded something which now "hides" my Mac at this IP address. I am unsure how to resolve this problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Much obliged, in advance.

Can the Mac connect to the PC?
Have you checked the Workgroup is the same on the Mac
in Directory Access>CIS/SMB?
Have you tried turning off the Firewall for a test?
Has the IP changed?
Hello!
Thank you for the suggestive questions above. I haven't "tested" any of them because I simply became exasperated with the "change" in 10.4.9 and went back to system 10.4.8
Of course, now everything is right with the world and I can once again have my Windows computer connect to my Mac.
Thank you for taking the time in trying to help me -- much obliged.

I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. Mac users can no longer read the page numbers but pc users can.

I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. As of about 2 weeks ago the mac users can no longer read the page numbers they get a font error message and see only -- where the page information should be. The pc users do not have this same problem. When I replace our regular font (URW Grotesk) with a system font (Verdana) everyone is able to read the page numbers. This is a new issues, I have been creating these documents in the same way for years without a problem. I have been on hold and on and off calls for the last two hours, I keep getting hung up on once I find someone in adobe support to talk to!

Hi KnoopL,
Are the Mac users using Preview to view the pdfs or Adobe Reader?

TS4268 iPhone users can no longer send me text messages now that i've moved to a non-iOS phone. Can iMessage service or Message users be refreshed to see me as a normal text message recipient?

iPhone users can no longer send me text messages now that i've moved to a non-iOS phone. Can iMessage service or Message users be refreshed to see me as a normal text message recipient?
I still have an iPhone, but haven't turned it on for weeks. And there's no SIM in it, so no cell service, just WiFi. When I turn it on after a prolonged period of having it off (weeks), a bunch of messages popup that should have been forwarded to my new phone (same phone number and carrier as when I was an iPhone user) but appear to sit in iMessage queue indefinitely instead.
I'm guessing it has to do with the link that's made when an iPhone first realizes that it's talking to another iPhone and defaults, for all future texts, to iMessage. You know, the green to blue switch. How does that association get undone?
Has anyone else seen this, and if so, is there a fix?

your number can remain on the imessage server for some time

After upgrade to 10.7.1 users can no longer connect to shares

Ok , im not an admin to start off, but after upgrading the OSX lion server to 10.7.1 i can no longer connect to the sharepoints on my mac mini server.
Through SMB or AFP .. i tried using the connect to server on one of my clients and when i attempt to log in , it shakes the login window as if my password were not accepted.
Heres where it gets a little confusing to me, i have 2 mac mini servers both running OSX LION SERVER 10.7.1 .... The one that I CAN NOT LOG INTO is my OD Master... the second one is just used for file sharing...
WHEN i attempt to login into the file share server (which is connected to the OD Master which is rejecting my user logins) i can connect JUST FINE and access the sharepoiints on that server...
A couple more weird things... on the OD MASTER (again the server which is rejecting all user logins) I CAN login with my admin credentials and access the sharepoints... ??
-- when i am locally logged into the OD MASTER server, if i add a new sharepoint from scratch and edit the ACL , NONE OF MY USERS SHOW UP nor any of my user groups... it only allows me to add the Administrator access to that share..
Have i done something very wrong somehwere? this server that is having a problem is only used as a OD master and File share nothing else..
I did not change any settings besides add a new mac mini server to the OD and performa the 10.7.1 upgrade.
ANY HELP WOULD BE HUGE as i have spent a 12 hours trying to figure this out before i resort to a re install.

I've only one hint to you, cause I've mot on Mac-Server.
With 10.7 Apple have switched from Samba (maybe due to licence problems with GPL based stuff) to a own protocol called "XSMB"
This had caused problems with some NAS systems too.
Eventually someone have a glue to solve that, as several users have problems with SMB shares since that.

Windows Users can no longer connect to Server

I have an Xserve configured to share via AFP and windows. It is running Open Directory as an Open Directory master. It is connected to a Windows Network that is worldwide, running in a specific subnet and domain. Recently, all the users I have configured on the machine have been migrated to a new Active directory server for their email accounts. I can connect and authenticate against the open directory using AFP, but can not connect using windows file sharing from a Windows computer, nor can I connect using SMB from a mac. Shouldn't the users be authenticating against the Xserve when trying to connect or is it passing off the authentication to another server? Do I need to move the Xserve to the new domain? (in other words, do I have to change its FQDN? )
thanks in advance,
Mike
XServe Dual 2GB G5 Mac OS X (10.3.4) Windows Domain member

I just had this same problem on my server. The only difference is it is an Xserve insted of a Mac Mini.
I restarted the whole operating systems and that appeard to have fixed the problem but I do not know what I cause was.
Did you figure anything out?

WIndows user can no longer log in.

Ok, here’s where I’m stuck. We no longer have our server (Running OSX Server 10.4.3), which serves as the Open Directory Master and the PDC for our Windows boxes( all running XP SP2), running DHCP services. We instead installed a Linksys RV016 router about 6 days ago and changed the servers static LAN IP to ‘.253’ instead of ‘.254’. After toying with the settings, we got everything working correctly. Our Mac and Windows boxes both could log in to their respective accounts. However, starting today, every time I try to long on to a windows machine I get an error message saying”Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile…… Detail – The format of the specified network name is invalid.
The thing is, we have an almost identical setup at another office not 1 block away, the only difference being that there is no external router and the server on that network is also the DHCP server. I have been poking around and trying to make a few tweaks that last 2 days, but as far as I know, I haven’t made any changes that would affect the Windows services. Also, the User Profile Paths have stayed the same. I have also noticed that I am getting a weird message in the “Windows File Service Log” saying:
[2005/12/14 15:49:34, 0] pdbods.c:make_amod(2043)
makeamod: INVALID VALUE!!!
[2005/12/14 15:49:34, 0] /SourceCache/samba/samba-92.13/samba/source/rpcserver/srv_util.c:get_alias_usergroups(206)
getalias_usergroups: gid of user marketpc doesn't exist. Check your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files
I figured that this has something to do with it, but I haven’t changed any of the group settings.
Please help me as I’m completely stumped and have no clue what to do.

Ok. I fixed it, long story short, the directory in which the user profiles were shared from became corrupted some how. By deleting the user profile in WGM and creating their home folder in a new share point, they can log in no problem. The fun part now is to figure out how this happened.

New version - can no longer authenticate with BT

I've been syncing my 6230 with my Windows XP (SP2) workstation for ages. Until I recently installed 6.80.20.
Now as soon as I get a connection, it then says "Cannot authenticate the phone". Other posts made me suspect the driver, but I dont know what my alternatives are. I'm using the standard MS drivers that come with SP2 - as I said it WAS working fine.
My bluetooth hardware is: Blutonium BCM2035 Bluetooth 2.4GHz Single Chip Transceiver. Driver is by MS, version 5.1.2600.2180.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

What if you simply untick and tick again the Bluetooth option in Nokia Connection Manager ?
BTW, were you able to unpair the phone with get connected wizard ? (I guess not, because to my understanding it requires connection first so that you can unpair...)
What do you have visible in Connection Manager, do you have Microsoft Bluetooth option there ?
If you choose NOkia PC Suite about box and system info, what does that say ?
If you have a separate Bluetooth USB Dongle, if you move it to another USB port, will that help ?
Also disabling and enabling the Bluetooth hardware rom the PC ?
Edit: one more question, it seems that the Bluetooth ship is from Broadcomm, but it still has Microsoft drivers ?Message Edited by manta on 05-May-2006

Users can no longer connect to servers via their IP addresses.

1) Up until March users could connect to two file servers (10.4 and 10.6) by IP address.
2) Now, only computers that are not managed by Casper can connect. All the Windows machines and a couple of Macs (not managed) can connect to these Servers. One of the Macs is filtered by iBoss, but mine bypasses the filter. We can both connect.
3) On the day this happened, I updated the iBoss firmware and sent out the script below which should not be related. The commonality seems to have something to do with computers managed by Casper (JAMF).
4) Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -configure -allowAccessFor -specifiedUsers
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -configure -users ladmin -access -on -privs -all

Check your firewall logs find out if it's at your end that's blocking access
Log into one of the blocked machines with your login that's not blocked to find out if it's a user level or machine block
Read the iboss firmware release notes
See if there is any changes that effect your current setup
Check firewall rules make sure the effected machines, vlans etc have access to the servers
See if Casper still access the effected machines

Windows 7 Users Can No Longer Connect to Shared Xserve Drive

We've had multiple computers (both PCs and Macs) setup to use a shared Xserve. All the sudden today the mapped network drives stopped working. I've tried using the "Map network drive" option on Windows 7 to add them manually again, but every time I enter the username/password it says it is not correct. I'm mapping the drive to Z and the folder to '\\10.10.10.77\shared' which is the Ethernet 1 of the Server followed by folder name on the Xserve that worked before. I'm confused what username and password it wants here because I've even reset the Xserve passwords and they still don't work and it says underneath that the Domain underneath is the name of the current PC user...
What's going on here? Am I using the correct Folder format and with the correct username and password? This is driving me crazy!

After hours and hours of constant searching and testing I still can't get it to work?
Any ideas?
I think sharing has changed in Mavericks.

Help! My IE8 users can no longer access their wiki pages after upgrade to Lion.

I upgraded my SL server to Lion without checking the browser requirements for the new Wiki server. My users access the wiki via a Windows 2003 Terminal Server which is stuck on IE8, can't install IE9 on it. I push out the home page URL via group policy and now everyone is getting the "unsupported browser" message. Is there any way to allow them access with IE8? They don't actually update the wiki, that can be done with a compatible browser no problem but they need to be able to click on links. Do I just need to set up a separate website for them?

Anybody got this?
I've got 2 drives, and only the bottom one works after the 10.7 rollout? Doesn't appear that the other one is even recognized in the system profiler anymore.
Surely there's someone that knows wth is going on here...?

I updated to 10.7.4 and my pc can no longer authenticate to my smb share.

It all stopped working immediately after the update. The PC is set to map a drive to the share it authenticates as <mac name>/<user name>; yet the password, which worked perfectly pre update, is now rejected.
Has anyone a work around/fix?
Chris

Googled 10.7.4, and found the fix, hope this helps others.
Basically its the Hadron Collider fix - turn it off (file sharing that is), wait, then turn it back on!
Sweet - working as before the update!

Users can no longer sign PDF's

We have a Windows Certificate server that assigns certificates to all our users. Users have always been able to sign PDF's with Adobe Reader using this certificate. Last week they started to not be able to sign. When they go to sign a PDF it used to bring up a box and the certificate was selected. Now it brings up a box that says " I want to sign this document using:" but you can't select the certificate.
Nothing changed as far as the server goes and it looks fine and I can see the certificates are loaded on the PC.
Any ideas???

Hi presbell,
Acrobat/Reader will not allow you to sign a PDF file using a certificate that asserts CA=true in the Basic Constraints extension. You can only use an end-entity certificate.

Can no longer authenticate SMTP server in Mail

After updating to 10.4.3, the httpmail plugin stopped working in Mail, so I downloaded it again and reinstalled it. Unfortunately, as I have read in many other posts, httpmail doesn't work well with 10.4.3. That part I can deal with. However, Mail was then not responding to a POP Road Runner account. It wasn't sending or receiving mail, but it didn't give any errors. It just did nothing. I would have to force quit whenever I wanted to quit the app.
I deleted the Mail preference files, but still it didn't work. I then reinstalled Mail from the Tiger DVD and started from scratch, only I now cannot send mail through the POP account. When I set up the new account, it says it cannot connect to the outgoing mail server, even though it is the correct one (I've double and triple checked with Road Runner). What's going on? I've tried both ports 25 and 587, but still no luck? Road Runner tech support was less than helpful, saying maybe it's a problem with the router, blocking port 587, but there was never a problem before.
Can anyone help???
Jon
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

UPDATE: I was able to set up the account using Eudora, and it worked fine. I guess it means that there's something funny happing with Mail.
