Getting two-factor authentication if two-step authentication is enabled?
What happens if two-step authentication is enabled for that Apple ID?
Will two-factor authentication still be offered or does two-step authentication need to be turned off first?

Workgroup Manager Authentication Not Working
Hello,
All of a sudden I can no longer authenticate to OD in Workgroup Manager. I am positive that the directory administrator account and password did not change. Nothing has changed lately. I was trying to export users from OD and import into AD. It said that the import wasn’t successful. From that point on I could no longer get into Workgroup Manager except for locally. Once I’m in, I cant authenticate to OD. Just recently I started getting an error when trying to authenticate to /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1:
Unable to open the requested node.
The node /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 couldn’t be opened because an unexpected error of type -14006 occurred.
I restarted the server and was able to get the login to come up when trying to connect to /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 but the directory admin user account still won’t work. I tried some basic troubleshooting guides to make sure DNS was correct and tried to reset the OD administrator password but no luck. Please help!
Details:
System Version: OS X 10.10.5 (Build 14F27)
Server Version: Server 4.1.5 (Build 14S1136)
Thank you in advance for you time/help,
Jim

Ports for users network authentication across open Directory
I have set up a Mac Mini server by a hosting partner, configured and the activated the Open Directory service on the server. I want now that the users authenticate on their client with the networks Account. This work, when I authenticate from home or when I go on internet across my mobile phone (tethering), but from the work network, the authentication doesn’t work.
It seems that, I have to open a port on our firewall (work network), but I don’t know which exactly.
I opened already the following ports: 625, 389, 636
Thank you and best regards

Basic authentication URL not recognized
I’m doing testing on an internal application that support basic HTTP authentication. Ignore the security concerns for the minute.
My problem is that Safari won’t recognize a URL in the format
http://<user>:<password>@example.com/
Instead I get an error page stating Safari can’t open user:password@example.com" because OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “user:”.
I am explicitly stating http:// at the start of the URL (some of my URLs have a custom port number, but this happens on default 80 as well), I have tried the formats http://<user>@example.com, http://<user>:<password>@example.com, and even http://:@example.com/. Every time Safari complains of an invalid URL. These all work in Chrome.
Safari will support this format if I use https://<user>:<password>@example.com, however the application I am testing (3rd party) doesn’t support https, so the query hangs.
Then it gets stranger still. We have a web page with a hyperlink in the format http://<user>:<password>@example.com/. This hyperlink opens in a new page and works (I get a phishing warning, but that’s a separate issue). But if I copy the link target, and paste it into a new page it fails.
I am using Safari Version 8.0.6 (10600.6.3).
Is there some option somewhere to enable HTTP auth URLs (given it works for HTTPS)? Is this a bug?
Or is this intentional behaviour on the part of Safari not to allow HTTP auth? In which case, is it a bug that it works for a hyperlink, but not a manually entered URL?
Edit: If anyone has any tips about how to prevent auto-formatting of URLs that would be great too. I can’t seem to prevent them all being turned into hyperlinks.

Wrong time in ios 9.0.1 – 2 step authentication stopped working!
After upgrading to ios 9.0.1 on iPhone 6 the automatic time is est 30 s out of sync. No big deal in most cases BUT this means that 2 step authentication (ex. Google authenticator) doesn’t work which is a show stopper!
Tested a few different iPhone 6 now and so far all 9.0.0 users have correct time and all 9.0.1 are out of sync (est 30s).
Tried to restart phone a couple of times and put automatic time on/off and manually change time in between – but nothing works.
Any tips, ideas how to solve it?

Yahoo Mail authentication + El Capitan
Apple Mail has changed the account settings for email accounts. Result is that one can no longer see all your email settings. Very annoying by the way.
Yahoo account authentication does not work, my email wil not sync on my Mac
When trying to check the details a (semi) pop up appears with logon details, login with user name password:
Uh-oh!
Looks as if something went wrong.
Please try again later.
and then I get the Yahoo website in that (semi) popup, logged in and all.
User name and password combination works great on iPhone/iPad, and yes double checked user name and password. and it occurs with both my Yahoo accounts.
I wonder has anyone else experienced this?
Is this a Apple or Yahoo issue?
Does anyone know how I can check my full email account details other through Preferences/Internet Accounts (which is really useless to anyone but the most illiterate computer users)

finger print authentication
Apple lovers.. I have a functionality confusion to clarify with new 6s and iOS 9.0.1. I have an iTunes profile which I was using in my iPhone 5s. This phone was provided by my previous employer. I am at a new job now, and have an 6s phone. I have setup with same iTunes profile. I setup finger print authentication using two prints, each of my thumbs. I was not able to add my index finger thumb print to my profile in my 6s phone. The 6s has only two prints setup. I had the index finger thumb print setup in my 5s. In the 6s phone, I am able to unlock the phone with my index finger.

FaceTime & iMessage authentication
Hello
I’ve just made a clean install of 10.11 and then restored my user data.
Everything is Ok but FaceTime and iMessage refuse to authenticate my account. The password is good because I can connect to iCloud.com and all the others iCloud’s services are working fine.
Any ideas ?

There is a bug in every app based on the authentication of an Apple ID on OS X 10.11, such as App Store, iTunes or iCloud:Every time I do the login appears an error message in red that says: “This action could not be completed. Try again.”It isn’t a problem to my ID, because on any browser I can log. I do not know what to do, I can not update it will download the app, I can not access iCloud and even synchronize iTunes, I am blocked.
I hope someone has a solution
Thanks for the attention

OSX Server and ActiveDirectory authentication to the services
Ladies and gents,
Hope you can advice.
My setup.
Windows 2008R2 Server running AD.
Xserve 3,1 running Yosemite 10.10.5 and Server 5.0.4
Xserve is bound to AD + I’ve kicked in OD for testing purposes.
Test which confirms that AD authentication is working fine.
Created a share. (POSIX Owner – RW, Group, Everyone – No access)
ACL AD User – connection to the share using AD user credentials works
ACL AD Group with AD User within – works
ACL OD User/Group – of course it works.
Test in which AD Authentication doesn’t work for me.
Website sharing. Created test website with authentication.
AD Group with AD User within – doesn’t work (can add but unable to authenticate)
OD Group with AD User – doesn’t
OD Group with OD User – works
I want this server be AD only, but after not being able to authenticate using AD Group made decision to kick in OD – but still it doesn’t work. I do need OD Users.
Can anybody shed some light on this? I’m lost a bit.
Btw, I had exactly the same issue with different AD and OSX server back in 2014/2015 (ver4 as far as I remember) but this wasn’t a proper test, I was just killing my time so never tried troubleshoot this, presumed it was a glitch.
Thanks.

10.8 Authentication Events log… (part 2)
I’ve decided to create another thread since the original one was marked as solved, and is quite old now.
Since a few OS X versions back it seems that security-related logs were moved to ASL. That’s great, there’s syslog program and an API to query the logs and all. However, loginwindow (and it may not be the only service) doesn’t log failed login attempts anymore. What I see is a bunch of low-level debugging messages. Here’s an example failed login attempt:

And that’s it… All messages are level 7, so not even a single notice, warning or error. Moreover, this info isn’t even written to ASL or any other log with default logging settings. This makes it difficult to detect failed login attempts.
Is there any way to get errors from loginwindow now? A ready-made program, an API, something… I see people suggesting to rely on “The authtok is incorrect” message, but someone I don’t feel that confident in it.
