Error Code -5002

Hi. On a Generation One Macbook that was upgraded to Leopard over the weekend. Came into the office today and I'm trying to connect to my work network and I received a message that ends with Error Code -5002. My desktop map that still have 10.4 connects fine and dandy.

Why has this upgrade been the worst Apple experience in 20+ years?

Mac OS X (10.5)

I saw a similar report a couple of days ago on this board. At least in that case, they were able to fix it by making sure that their AFP server supported encrypted logins. If you're still using cleartext logins, do a search and find the other thread. IIRC, it told what they did to fix the problem. Of course, that was with a Linux box for the AFP server. No idea on the Novell side of things.

The issue is cleartext versus encrypted passwords. OS X Tiger gave you the option to send your passwords in cleartext. Leopard apparently has disabled this option. As in the next post, one option is to enable encrypted passwords on the server. The other is to use a utility like Cocktail to change this option. There is a new version for Leopard (http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/index.php). Once it's downloaded and installed, open it and go to the Network tab, then the File Sharing tab. Select 'Allow sending password in clear text', then click Restart at the bottom of the window.
