Wifi asks for username AND password for iPhone

Hi!
So I have moved into a new apartment, and when my iPhone finds the router and tries to log on, it asks for a username AND a password. When I use my Macbook, it just asks for a password, which I enter and get no further problems with.
I have tried entering the router's details manually using the 'Other' feature in the Wifi settings, and still cannot log on (either with WPA or WPA2).
Any idea what's going on here? No one else I know of has this problem!
Thanks!

Prompting for username and password for opening

Hi,
The domain of my organisation is xyz.com. So when try to access any office doc from the office network it opens the office docs without any prompt in office client. But whenever try to access them using VPN or citrix it asks for the username and password.
Then if I give credentials or cancel it irrespective of that it opens the doc for me.
The sites are in trusted zone. It is happening for 2010 and 2013 both. But for pdf it is not prompting.
Why it is asking for credentials and how to mitigate this so that it opens directly from everywhere.

You can try to take a fiddler trace in both scenarios and then search for the differences. This issue seems to be related with your network configuration that with the product itself.
In fiddler you can identify what verb is requesting for credentials and from there you can go further with troubleshooting.

Ask for username and password for XDB when download files

Hi,
I have an application to upload/download files. While the user click on the file link for downloading files, a small window pops-up saying that "The server 127.0.0.1 at XDB requires a username and password.".
Can anyone shred some light ?
Thanks.
Edward

Edward:
Does this link work ? if it does then I think you may need to set up appropriate ACLs in XDB for the other IP address.

Don't just enter usernames and passwords into apps unless you know what it is for and why it wants it.

RE1000 asks for username and password

I have the RE1000 installed as extender for my WRT110 router. I was told by Linksys live chat tech that this would be suitable for our home network. When in the family room or on patio (where I have weak WiFi usually), the Extender shows on my iPad in the list of available WIFI and has excellent icon (the router usually has one or two bars and goes in and out).
When I try to access the Extender on my iPad, it asks for username and password but will not take it. Should I run setup again or what?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

in setting up the range extender, it will give you the option to connect to your network. so essentially, you will not have to define/ specify the settings manually. the purpose of the range extender is to extend the signal of the main network, not create a separate network of its own.
i suggest that you RESET the range extender and run the setup wizard again. make sure to connect the device to your network. once the devices have synced up, you will be able to fully utilize this device.

I am unable to change username and password for wifi network

unable to change username and password for wifi network

Thanks, this solved my problem. Network kept demanding username; I guess it's different from the computer ID I use. Whatever, it wasn't easy to find the network listed, but by trial and error, I found it, highlighted it, and pressed delete key. Now the network only asks for password, which I knew, and I'm on. Great advice. But why computer was configured to do that in the first place is why I prefer PC to my wife's inscrutable macbook pro.

HP1102W, XP, asking for username and password

I'm setting up my wireless printer, and it is asking for a username and password?
The wireless printer is set up and shows a status of online when I look at the printer in the browser. I recently reinstalled windows and everything on one PC. I am trying to set up the wireless printer to print from the PC that was recently reimaged. It is an HP 1102W. I click Add a Printer (next), A network printer (next), Browse for a printer. The printer shows up in my list of devices. But when I click on it, I am asked for a username and password for the PC that this printer is connected to by USB cable. I do not know what username and password it is asking for.
It does not seem to be the printer username and password it is looking for. It is looking for the username and password for the PC that the printer is hooked up to (by USB cable.). The box that comes up is a windows box and says "Connecting to SHARONS-PC" and then asks for the username and password. There is no username and password on this PC.

I finally figured it out. Even though this is a wireless network printer, it is not added by clicking on the add a network printer. Somehow, Microsoft considers this a local printer (attached to this computer, even though it is not attached to the computer or a local printer).
To add:
Click Add a printer (next), select Local Printer (attached to this computer) (next), The wizard was unable to find a plug and play printer (next), select Create a new port. From the drop down select Standard TCP/IP port (next) (next), put in the printer IP address from the configuration page of the printer. That should pre-fill the port name also (next). That should add the wireless network printer.

Sharepoint2013 Stop asking for UserName and Password

Hi,
I have Installed New sharePoint2013 Server , I face Issue that Sharepoint Site keep asking for UserName and Password aeach Time.
I set as windows authentication in both IIS and Central Administration ,
and I configure The IE and I set Automatic Login with Current Username And Password and I put it in Trusted site and nothing change.
I also have sharepoint 2010 server and when I configure it like above it
stopped ask me for UserName and Password ,
Can any one help me what maybe the problem in SharePoint server2013.
thank you,,,

Hi,
Try following these steps:
Adding the site to Local Intranet Zone:
Navigate to Tools > Internet Options
Under Security tab, navigate to Local Intranet > Sites > Advanced. Enter the URL of your SharePoint site and click Add. Uncheck theRequire server
verification (https:) for all sites in this zone box and click Close
Adding the entry to the Credentials Manager:
Go to Start > Run and type in control keymgr.dll to open the Windows key manager.
Alternatevily: navigate to Contorl Panel > User Accounts > Manager Windows Credentials
Select Add a generic credential
Add your SharePoint site URL, login and password to the corresponding fields. If this entry already exists, edit it to have your login credentials.
Reboot the computer.
If you are missing the Add button, you may want to modify Windows Registry to be able to save the password.
Note: for editing Windows Registry, administrator rights are required. Editing Windows Registry is not safe and you will perform it at your own risk.
In Windows, go to Start > Run and enter regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\.
Find the DisableDomainCreds entry. A value of 1 (enabled) will prevent you from saving new credentials.
Change the value to 0 and reboot. Now you should have the Add button available. Note that 0 is the default value.
Also check the LmCompatibilityLevel entry. It should be set to 3, which is the default value. If you have another value, change it to 3. If it does not
work with 3, then also try it with 2.
Reboot the computer to apply changes.

Why asking for username and password once entered

Hi!
While configuring a new account in Outlook 2010 from Internet it asks for username and password one more time even after entering it once at the beginning of the account setup.
Can anybody provide some details. Can't the automatic setup take the entered credentials once for all?
Exchange 2010 and 2013
Thanks.

Hi,
Based on my experience, the credential issue can be caused by the connectivity issue.
Thus, let’s check if Outlook Anywhere connection is well by using ExRCA:

Ask for Username and Password while Opening an Applet

Can we code such a way that , While we open an Applet , It should ask for User and password and upon sucessful validation , the Main applet must be loaded !
Any Suggestions Please !
Thanks .....

When using SSL Word Files ask for username and password.

I have SharePoint Foundation 2013 setup and it works great. I need to allow users access when they are not connected to our local network, so for testing purposes I added a domain signed certificate and assigned it to IIS on 443. Internally when
I try to access the site IE now ask me for a username and password and when I open a word file Word then ask me for a username password again. If it didn't do it in http why is it happening with https and how can I fix it? Externally I know users will
have to login but they should have to only login in once right?

After doing some more research it seems that it is just not possible to use Windows authentication along with FQDN without being prompted for username and password in SharePoint. Can anyone confirm this? I am sorry what a bad design of a program.
Did anyone think at Microsoft that organizations might want employees to work from outside of their network in the year 2013 using the username and passwords they already have.

Problem with iWeb asking for username and password to access my public site

Today for some reason anyone trying to access my site is being asked for username and password. I have made no changes that would require a password. My site has always been public.

I am having the same problems. My site is public, I checked the settings on the public folder on MobileMe to ensure that it was public and did not require password protection either. But for some odd reason, even though I didn't change anything, my site's pages seem to require a user name and password to get into them. If one continues to click cancel, the page continues to load.
This does not happen every single time, but it happens more often than not. I have tried this with my iMac, Macbook, as well as my iPod Touch, and I get this on all machines. My brother has tried logging in from another location using his Macbook Pro, and he gets the password prompt as well.
I tried turning on password protection to the site and uploading the changes, then disabling password protection and reupping the changes once again. I've tried uploading entire site, instead of just changes, but the problem continues to persist. I definitely need this issue solved since this site is important to me.
The site url is: http://www.globalwinetour.com
Does anyone have any suggestions to rectify this, or does anyone have any idea what is causing it? Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong? Please help me out!
Many thanks in advance!

New Imac. I get rid off login password from security and accounts and restart. Now it asks for username and password and it's not acepting anything. Any ideas?

First, reset your password as follows.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
If you're being prompted to authenticate when making changes to files inside your home folder, continue as follows.
Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
