Ical Request Error - Authentication Failed
We have a network with a snow leopard server running ical server and many ical clients.
As a rule things work well.
On a regular basis though, various users get the following error when they start ical:
"Request Error
Authentication of account [account name] failed.
Please check your login and password information."
And..... the error is repeated for EACH calendar that the user subscribes to!
The strange thing is, the login name and password ARE correct.
This can be proven by logging into the same server via Go>Connect to Server in the Finder.
I have had limited success by deleting the relevant entry in Keychain Access.
Sometimes I have to delete the Account (Preferences>Account) and then add it again.
That always works but the problem typically does come back days later.
Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening and if there is a permanent solution?
