Appleshare Prefs Resetting
Authored by: Anoble on May 03, '02 11:20:23AM

I also agree, this solved a problem that I've been working for six weeks.

A user in our office logged into another AppleShare server outside of our LAN. At the login dialog, he hit the OPTIONS button and toggled the "Allow Clear Text Passwords" to Off. He also hit the "Save Preferences" button which apparently saves these settings globally.

Subsequent attempts to login to our AppleShare server yielded the "Services are no longer available ...5002" error. Deleting the prefs file and allowing the prefs to rebuild did not solve the problem.

I edited a prefs file ({user}\ Library\ Preferences\ com.apple.AppleShareClientCore.plist) from a machine that could log in and compared the two, Changing the value from true to false for the line: <key> enableClearTextAuth<.key> solved this problem.

Thanks to Anonymous for the original posting.
