Ihave conducted a PCAP which appears to shows my PA sending the Radius request on port 1812 to the Server (telling me the config for PA is fine). However, it comes back with the 'Radius-Reject' response. Which would tell me there is something occurring in my AD.

An Access-Reject message means that RADIUS is working fine. The user was rejected by NPS policy. Also, the system log "invalid username/password" also indicates the PA is talking to NPS fine. You are correct to say, "there is something occurring in my AD." The best place to look for the reason NPS is rejecting the request is under the Windows Event Viewer in the Security logs.


You can also test RADIUS without the VSAs by creating a local admin under Administrators and selecting RADIUS_ADMIN as the authentication profile. You can even assign your CorpAdmin role there. Of course, that doesn't scale well, but it allows you to eliminate some variables in your testing.


What it looks like to me (I am going to double check the NPS Polices) is that it appears to be hitting the wrong Network Policy. As I do know both sides for the configured policy should be using PAP.


Ok, so with Toms' great advice (regards the PA config) and some research. It appeared to be hitting a completely different policy (a default RADIUS deny policy as stated in on my above image). So as a test, I allowed the policy and left the constraints with only the default time constraint, adding in the respective VSA for PA. In which has now worked, and I able to access with RADIUS as an Admin onto my PA.


However, when I added other constraints in such as 'Authentication', 'Windows Groups', and 'Client IP'. It would fail, on the PA side I would get generic invalid username/password error. I would get an error in the event security logs, actually not pointing towards any error at all simply stating 'No match to NPS policies'.


I found an older ReadyNas NV+ unit at my new job, Part number is RNV2-S2-0000. I found instructions online how to reset it to factory default, which I have (seemingly) successfully done. I can connect to it with RAIDar, and I was able to do initial setup through it for X-Raid, and the front shows 637GB available of 637GB.


I have tried the combibation of admin/admin, admin/password, admin/netgear1, admin/[blank] with no success. Anyone know what the correct username/password for this model is when reset to factory? I would love to get some use out of this thing!


Username and password authentication is a widely used method of verifying the identity of users accessing digital systems. It involves a user providing a unique identifier, called a username, and a secret, called a password, to gain access to a system.


In an increasingly digital world, where sensitive information is shared and stored online, secure authentication is paramount. The use of usernames and passwords is a fundamental method for verifying user identity. It serves as the first line of defense against unauthorized access to personal data, financial information, and other sensitive resources.


Effective authentication not only protects users' accounts but also safeguards the reputation and trust of organizations. Breaches in authentication can lead to severe consequences, including financial losses, data theft, and damage to brand reputation. Hence, implementing robust authentication practices is crucial to mitigate these risks.


Username and password authentication is a method of verifying the identity of a user accessing a digital system. The user provides a unique identifier, called a username, and a secret, called a password, to gain access. The system then compares this information with its stored database to verify the user's identity.


It serves as a crucial line of defense against unauthorized access and protects sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands. The primary purpose of username and password authentication is to ensure that only authorized individuals with valid credentials can access restricted resources.


The importance of username and password authentication lies in its ability to establish a unique identity for each user, thereby enabling personalized access to various services while maintaining security.


However, it is essential to acknowledge that username and password authentication, while widely used, has its limitations. Weak or easily guessable passwords, password reuse across multiple platforms, and the risk of password leaks or phishing attacks can undermine the effectiveness of this method.


To enhance security, it is crucial to follow best practices such as enforcing strong password requirements, implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA), and regularly updating and monitoring user credentials.


One notable example of effective username and password authentication can be observed in the login system used by popular social media platforms such as Facebook. Facebook's login process employs a combination of a username or email address and a password to authenticate users and grant access to their accounts.


When a user attempts to log in to their Facebook account, they are prompted to enter their registered email address or username, followed by their password. Facebook employs various security measures to ensure the integrity of this authentication process.


These measures include robust password hashing techniques to store passwords securely, detection mechanisms for suspicious login attempts, and the option to enable additional security layers, such as two-factor authentication (2FA) using SMS or authentication apps.


By implementing username and password authentication effectively, Facebook enables its users to secure their accounts, safeguard personal information, and maintain control over their online presence. This example highlights the importance of combining a unique username or identifier with a strong password to authenticate users and protect their digital identities.


These additional sections expand on the blog post, providing insights into the importance of secure authentication, highlighting features of LoginRadius for enhanced security, and discussing future trends that will influence authentication practices.


Username and password authentication is a widely used method of verifying the identity of users accessing digital systems. While this method is convenient, it is also vulnerable to attacks and breaches.


Organizations should implement best practices to ensure secure authentication, such as creating a firm password policy, using salted and hashed passwords, implementing two-factor authentication, and using password managers.


Additionally, organizations should consider password alternatives, such as biometric authentication or single sign-on, to enhance security. By following these best practices, organizations can better protect their users' identities and sensitive data from attacks and breaches.


I have posted this in the Apple forums, but thought I would try this community as well. I am on a Windows 11 computer, using Outlook 365. I am able to install iCloud successfully, and log into the client. When I try to set up iCloud for Outlook, so I can see my family calendar along side my work calendar, I get the following error:


I have nothing showing in my log files in regard to errors. I have researched online, and have tried everything I can find. I've uninstalled and re-installed, used an older version, removed all files from the AppData folder related to iCloud, etc. I have been able to set up the software successfully on one of my other computers, however, it is this one that is causing this issue.


In July this above fix stopped working due to an update and the only way I found to fix it at the time was to completely uninstall and reinstall iCloud, starting with manually removing the iCloud outlook add-in. But that takes hours, removes all iCloud data from the system, and then re-syncs. And I had to do it three times. Way too much effort.




Then this past week iCloud forgot its password for outlook synchronizing again, and I wasn't willing to uninstall and reinstall again, so I kept fiddling around until a new set of steps revealed itself. This one is just five minutes, and hopefully it will work moving forward. That may sound overly optimistic, but looking at the steps in hindsight, they now make sense.






You're welcome.



One more set of tips before you/we giveup:



a) Open an elevated command prompt (run-as administrator), then running the command "DISM /online /cleanup-image /restoreHealth" and then when that is done, "SFC /scannow". Then reboot. This will find and fix any operating system files that need to be udpated or are corrupted.

b) Do a full online repair for Microsoft Office. Then reboot.

c) And then remove/replace the outlook add-in as per the 15 steps above.



That will make sure all of your Windows and MSOffice files are up to date and properly configured before you remove and replace the Outlook add-in. It may fix the issue. Or, if it doesn't fix it, at least you'll know that the problem isn't Windows or Office.



It's definitely frustrating. Even moreso because it's just this one add-in / .dll for outlook that is losing its credentials -- everything else in iCloud for windows works fine for me without any intervention.



Personally, I like Windows more than OS X. But... I do look on with envy as my friend with a Mac has everything work seamlessly, including contacts, photos, iMessage chat, facetime, and even copy/paste between devices. It's astounding to watch.



Good luck.
