Where did you find this?!

I have been waiting all year for it, and I still don’t see it at my local grocers.

Ever figure out how it messes with it? I didn’t install anything new on my computer. Re-installed OSX, once I was back in I re-installed the firmware patches. Then after a few restarts (maybe Placebo here, but I’m thinking the one after I launched LibreOffice, which was still installed) I was locked out again! I also have some weirdness in my Disk Utility – but I repaired disk (this probably has to do with my usage of rEFIt, but I can’t be sure).

Man, I’d like to know exactly what causes this! Here is my system log basically since re-install. Maybe you can match something up with yours. I’m guessing you’d need something more detailed, so if you know what then let me know:

Interesting – first time I’ve heard of an incident like this and Microsoft Office is not involved. Must be a similar package that messes with SecurityAgent. I have no experience with Office Libre, so no idea what similarities are in the packages.

I hate how everything going on in Macs and so obfuscated. It is like they’ve way more errors than Windows, but just silence them all.

I’ve this same problem but never installed Office (though I installed libre office – could that be it?).

Ingmar – I have 5 files in /etc/security, but they’re all zero K. I’m not sure what they’re supposed to be because the recovery partition (I’m using 10.7.2) doesn’t have an /etc/security. Is there a directory I can just replace so I don’t have to reinstall? Logging in shouldn’t be a hard problem to debug…

Can’t we get some Apple support to debug this? There are several posts on the Apple forums about this – of varying age – but none have replies.

“loginwindow[257]: This indicates that a SecurityAgent plugin has returned something other than errAuthorizationDenied (usually cancelled) after the auth record is set up.
Oct 21 12:07:23″ – is what is spewed all over /var/log/system

What happens:
I log in, it takes me to a white screen for varying amounts of time, and then based upon how long I move the mouse for it either stays on the white screen permanently or just keeps taking me back to the login screen.

Interesting, Han. I recently installed Office 2011 on a Lion-based iMac and forgot completely about this issue. Had to go through the same process, so I am absolutely sure it’s Office. The retail DVD is an issue.

So after talking with some people at Apple, and the general MacE community, it seems that my permissions with /System/Library might have caused the issue. I’ll test when I can, but the work around is to use packages don’t touch those areas, and use Local MCX to configure custom preferences.

I wanted to throw my 2 cents in here, I’ve built a custom pkg for Office 2011 with some preset preferences, and some add ons to install all at once which worked perfectly in 10.6, but when I install in 10.7 and reboot, logins don’t work just like how it’s described here. Since I’m building an image for this to be distributed, doing a reinstall of Lion to get it to work is really not desirable.

To do some work arounds, I’m going to do an Office and Mac OS X update after installing my custom pkg and see where it takes me.
