Screen Sharing does not accept my password anymore
Hi
I have a headless Mac Mini Server running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 and a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I detected this morning, that I'm not able to connect from the MacBook Pro to my Mac Mini over Screen Sharing. All other services, mail server, iCal server, Address Book server, file sharing over SMB or AFP even connecting over VNC do work.
- I select the Mac Mini symbol in Finder
- in column view, I select Share Screen...
- in the connection dialog, I add the password (username is already predefined)
- on connect, I get: Authentication failed to "servername". Please verify you have entered the correct name and password.
I use the same username and password with Server Admin, or logging in locally over VNC so I know this is correct.I'm sure I did not change any settings concerning screen sharing (I did some experiments with WebDAV recently)
I'm not sure, when I used Screen Sharing the last time, is there a log on the server for this? Could be, the problem was introduced with 10.6.8, but I'm not sure. From the logs I see, Screen Sharing did work on July, 16th. This would narrow it down to: iTunes 10.4 (not likely), Migration Assistant Update for Mac OS X SL 1.0, and Remote Desktop Client Update 3.5.1.
On the server, I found the following log entries: Jul 21 20:24:33 servername AppleVNCServer[1362]: no such user: user@LKDC:SHA1.xxxxxx: 2
Any help on this problem?
Screen Sharing Version 1.1.1-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
