Logon Expert

[Patrizia Leones]

Allcurrent automatic logon solutions for Microsoft Windows use one of two approaches.One group stores data in the system registry; the rest store their data in Local Security Authority storage (LSASecret).You can find different variations on these solutions, from predefined registry entry changes to separate programs.You can review almost all of them in our list of competitive automatic logon solutions.

Data from the registry can be retrieved simply with RegEdit,and data from LSASecret with any program which shows LSASecret passwords.These locations can also be accessed remotely via a network.Both solutions are absolutely insecure, as with either it is very simple to steal logon and password data.

LogonExpert is a secure approach to automatic logon.It stores logon data encrypted with the AES 256 algorithm.It directly interacts with WinLogon (the part of the operating system responsible for logon)to ensure that no other application can intercept logon data.It has many other useful features.

The Credentials tab is used to securely store a list of all configured users and theircredentials. These include logon names, passwords/PINs as well as domain names and, where applicable, OEScredentials assigned to each user.

Users with the Log on on Windows startup check box marked will be automatically logged onwhen Windows loads in the order they are listed on this tab. Additionally, differentdelays can be set for the first and all subsequent startup logons.

The Configure buttons can be used to change the order in which users are listed on this taband, consequently, logged on when Windows loads (or the -logoncommand is used). To delete the user from the list, click Remove.

LogonExpert supports the Micro Focus Client for Open Enterprise Server (formerly Novell NetWare) for Windows(hereinafter "the OES Client"). This means you can also automatically log on to NetWareand OES Linuxservers in the same secure way.

I've been quite satisfied with BD2012 so far, having been using BD for years. However, just today, my Windows 7 froze at welcome screen, then displayed only a black screen with a movable cursor. Restarting it in safe mode is okay. The next thing I tried was a clean boot, still okay. I then gradually added more services and items to the startup list using msconfig, the problem returned when I included BitDefender Virus Shield. Could you please help me fixing this issue? I'm now running with BitDefender service turned off.

Im having the exact same problem . Windows 7 installed on two machines, after windows update installs new updates OR I install ANY new software after my recent install bitdefender 2012 it causes BOTH machines to black screen after logon. The windows sign on screen comes up but after that just a cursor with a blank black screen.AltCntrDel will show Task Manager but cant get passed this. Both systems boot to safe mode but I have had to reinstall from a previous Windows image to get the system working and then uninstalling Bitdefender corrects the problem. This is definately a Bitdefender 2012 related problem that should be fixed before software is sold . I have had to revert to version 2011 which works OK.

Sorry but I must bother you guys again. The problem reoccurred just a few minutes ago. I was locked out of my Windows account (except when booted in safe mode). Forced restarts did not make it go away, as reported before. When I disabled BitDefender from safe mode, Windows logon works perfectly fine again.

As far as I'm able to tell, something interfered with Service Control Manager during startup. My EventViewer consistently implicate Event 7026 on Service Control Manager failed to start due to bdfsfltr and other services failed to load. bdfsfltr appears in all such failures while other services/drivers appear and disappear from time to time. And since my disabling BitDefender cured the problem, I can't help but suspect BitDefender, particularly bdfsfltr, messed up my Windows logon.

I'm not sure my logs sent to you guys last time was of any help in debugging because (obviously) I can't run the report tools while replicating the bug. If there is anything further I can help to locate the error, please let me know. Even though I can (and most probably will) uninstall and reinstall BitDefender again as I did before, it is annoying if my system keeps crashing every 2 weeks.

It wouldn't seem unreasonable for someone from BitDefender to reply to this issue as it was reported in January. I am also awaiting some sort of support on this and am currently running one PC without BD2012 and have had to revert to 2011 (which itself has now caused different problems!!)

Had to try and get support from BD "chat" this am and it timed out.."No one available to take the call.." WHAT!! Email support will be within 48 hours, Thats no good if your antivirus isnt working..

- When BitDefender is disabled, the Event 7026 on Service Control Manager still happened during every startup although it didn't keep the logon process hanging in limbo. The Event description is as follows:

- When I reinstall BitDefender, the system runs smoothly for some time, even though the 7026 involving bdselfpr and trufos still occurs during every startup. And when the error starts to occur, the logon simply hangs indefinitely. The event description of 7026 on Service Control Manager starts to involve other services as well:

I am wondering why I haven't heard from BD Technical Support ever since I submitted the log file and have uninstalled/reinstalled BD twice. I don't think that I purchased the software to have it crash my system frequently, so that I have to disable it, then having no option other than either to run without antivirus or reinstall BD and wait for the next crash. Meanwhile, the only reply from Tech Support was to instruct me to PM them the logs. No acknowledgement, no update whatsoever. I understand that you guys may have a lot of tickets on your hand to juggle, but it's frustrating on the user's end as well. I've been using BD since 2007, but I seriously think you guys have to improve on the communication, service front before loyal customers start to walk away.

This problem also happened to me. I tried boot repair, but it still wouldn't display the login window. I had to revert to a previous working session (F8 at restart) in order for the login window to appear. However, after login, when I try to do a full scan of my computer, I receive an error saying "insufficenit system resources..." and bitdefender craps out after 5 hours of scanning. Then my computer slowed down to a crawl and I could not even start the task manager. I had to do a hard restart and do a boot repair. After that, I am now able to login. I'm currently performing a Full System Scan with the task manager executed, so that I can help determine what the problem might be. I'll post something and submit a ticket if this problem reoccurs or if the scan fails again.

We have KRC2 5.5.11 version and it automatically logout from expert to operator mode.

I read on this forum to change the lease time in Authentication.config file but i am unable to open it.

I tried to run from Windows run screen but unable to open it.

hi,

yes, I tried several time to run this file told by you in KCP.But noting is happenning.

I am goining to RUN panel also and typing the path as told by you in your last post,but it is not running.

just come with cursor on authentication.config file and click right arrow (->) and then select "rename" and change the ext of the file from "config" to "txt". After that you can open the file with enter button and change what eusty said and then rename the "txt" to "config" again

That does, however, require getting into Windows on the KCP. Or, alternatively, make an Archive, edit the file offline on another computer, then copy&paste it back into the HMI/CONFIG/ directory using the KCP.

I'm not really sure when this changed, but users who lock themselves out of the DB no longer get a notification that their account has been locked out. Ex: You allow 5 logon attempts at the server level. A user logs in 5 times with invalid credentials. On the 6th attempt they're now disabled, but they'll continue to receive a message that simply says "Invalid username/password." We've had users continue to log in multiple times after this.

Take the Logon Attempt Fail counts and turn them into an alarmable item per-user. Allow a setting on each user that says Alarm After x Failed Logons. Right now we can do some roll-ups to do this by querying the event journal, but it's less than ideal as the event journal is pretty heavy. In my head this should be configurable whether the user is locked out or not.

Related to the failed logon attempt property, I noticed that this number does not increase once the user is locked out. If my lockout occurs after 5, the user logon failed count will increase to 5 then stop once locked out. I can log in 50000 more times and it would still read 5 since my user is locked out. I think it should continue to increase as it's an attempt against the user. The lockout state is agnostic to this metric.
