Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 3 - 10.3 Authentication
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Support Pack 2
Novell Client

Situation

Changed User Source proxy user credentials to a new user and password.
 
Get the following error when trying to login to workstation.
 
ERROR: Unable to login to the network your credentials are invalid.

Resolution

Verify that the iaRealms.xml file that the workstation is authenticating to has the new credentials used for the User Source proxy user.
 
Path to file:
 
/etc/CASA/authtoken/svc/iaRealms.xml

Additional Information

Root Cause: The iaRealms.xml file found in /etc/CASA/authtoken/svc was not updated with the new credentials used for the User Source proxy user on the primary server where the workstation's closest server rule was set to authenticate to.
 
Example of iaRealms file:
