Cannot login

Hi
I'm trying COPSSH 1.3.6 on a Windows 2003 server.

The installation went well and I was able to activate a user, but
when i attempt to login from another machine i receive 'Access denied' after type the password, i have already change the user rights to "Allow log on locally", as explained before to Tom Lombardi, and i have run "gpupdate /force".

Can you help me?

Thanks.

Re: Cannot login

Check messages in the application event log. Is it a domain user or a local one ?

Re: Cannot login

I have already tried to activate the user as local and domain.In event viewer i can find this message:

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: sshd : PID 2408 : Failed password for user from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 11499 ssh2.

The password it's correct, i have already login with this user.

Re: Cannot login

Hmm. That is strange. Just some speculations:
Is your 2003 server a domain controller ? If not, you may have a local and domain account with the same name, but different passwords !!

Have you tried public key authentication instead of passwords ? If it works, wrong password should be the problem.

Do you use a localized version of 2003 ? Make sure that there are no error messages during user activation.

The 2003 version it's a standard version with all the updates. The computer it's a domain controler the password it's correct, i can login with this user, i don't have any indication of an error during the user activation i have this log:
♀###############################

Activate a user for copssh

###############################

Do you want to activate a (l)ocal or a (d)omain user ?d
Enter a user account for activation : user
Enter a domain name for activation: domain
Generate PKA keypair with null passphrase!
Private key is /home/user/.ssh/user
A shortcut/symbolic link to your windows home directory is created (myhome).
processed file: C:\Program Files\copssh\home\user\.ssh\user
processed file: C:\Program Files\copssh\home\user\.ssh\user

Activation process for domain \ user is completed.
You may establish an ssh connection to this machine now.

Press a key to continue ...

I will try to use the public key authentication (first i have to find how to do that)

Ordinary users can also be activated. However, by default, only administrators can logon locally to a domain controller.
