Обсуждение: Invalid username specified
I'm using WIn2k/sp3 on machine at work connected to windows domain. At the "Service Configuration" screen it tries to make a userid "postgres". I get... "Want the account created for you?" YES "Random password is..." OK "Succesffuly grantred right" OK THEN MOST of the time I get "Account Error" "Invalid username specified: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password." SOMETIMES it correctly and proceeds to "initialize database cluster" When I get Invalid username I tried deleting the "postgres" user, rebooting, waiting for the twenty minute timeout windows authentication always seems to take. But nothing definatively works. I'll try a bunch of times and it will work sooner or later. I have found that by disconnecting the laptop from the network - it will install every time. This has happened through the RC series as far as I can remember. I've found no other references in the mailing lists. What is going on? Am I the only one?

It's recommended that you use a local account even on a domain attached computer. But as this is not alwas possible or wanted. If you are using a domain account, wait for Active Directory to replicate *after* the account has been created but *before* you proceed to the final step of the installation. If you have the permissions required, you can use "AD Sites & Services" to force a replication. //Magnus
My login is an NT domain account. I thought the postgres account was established as local. I changed nothing on the service configuration screen so I didn't knowinly make it a domain account. I have local admin rights and can delete the local postgres user but have NO admin rights at the domain level. I have also tried to use postgres2 (and other numbers for unused names) as the service account and had the same problem. Why would a local account have towait for domain replication? thanks... > >I'm using WIn2k/sp3 on machine at work connected to windows domain. > > > >At the "Service Configuration" screen it tries to make a > >userid "postgres". > > > >MOST of the time I get "Account Error" "Invalid username > >specified: Logon > >failure: unknown user name or bad password." > > > >SOMETIMES it correctly and proceeds to "initialize database cluster" > >Are you using a domain account or a local account?

Then it's a local account. That's default on everything except Domain Controllers (which don't have local accounts) >I have local admin rights and can delete the local postgres >user but have NO admin rights at the domain level. That just confirms it. >I have also tried to use postgres2 (and other numbers for >unused names) as >the service account and had the same problem. > >Why would a local account have towait for domain replication? That's a very good question :-) In theory anything account-related is affected by Group Policy settings, but I have no idea which one would be affecting this one. But everything points to something domain related. //Magnus
