Logging in

From the beginning, I apologize if this is a redundant post, but here I go…(I tried to search for this but came up empty-perhaps I used the wrong terms)

Are you supposed to sign in every time you open L4 for Mac? (Some of the students here say they don't have to log in every time.)

It's a very minor issue, but how would I fix this?

The default setting in Logos 4 Mac is to log in automatically upon opening Logos. It is my understanding that this only affects the RSS feeds and update features if you are not logged in.

If it is asking you to log in each time and requiring a username/password then perhaps there is a check box that has been unchecked or perhaps something in preferences that would allow the auto log in to resume.

For access to your library, bibles and features such as exegetical guide etc does not require you to log in.

You must enter your user name and password each time you start logos, but with respect to the internet you can work in "on-line" or "off-line" mode.

Hope that answers your question,

Is the question really about the fact that Logos logs in each time or is a setting issue where he is questioning why he is required to enter his information each time? I realize that it logs each time but . I don't have to enter username/password.

Seth,

You shouldn't have to log in each time. Can you post your logs?

We store an authentication token that is submitted for the last logged in user so you shouldn't have to do this every time.

I will post my logs, just have to watch the video to figure that out.

Okay here are the logs:

Using A15

The only step to this is the initial login-it just asks for my Logos account info every 1526.Archive.ziptime.

Seth,

There is this warning in your logs:

2010-03-10 17:06:39.3618 1 Info AppStartupModel (36ms) Checking 'Use Internet' setting.

2010-03-10 17:06:52.6284 1 Warn UserManager Couldn't protect user's password: Data protection failed.

Without posting your password out, there any special characters you use in it, or is it especially long? I think this could be a Mono bug that we might need to file with them.

Try resetting your Logos.com password to something different and see if this persists.

I wrote this up to complete all the posts for those of us with problems the easy way.

First thing in a word processor change Your username the username of your computer.

When you type into Terminal: chmod 700 ~/.config/.mono/keypairs

If you
obtain the results: chmod: Unable to change file mode on /Users/Your username/.config/.mono/keypairs: Operation not permitted

You will need to first type in: sudo chown -R Your username /Users/Your username/.config

Hit return. You have signed in as
the superuser, or root user.

Next type in: ls -alR ~/.configand hit return.
You will not see anything happen but it has.

Next type in: ls -ld ~ and hit return. You will not see anything happen
but it has.

Next type in: ls -ld ~/.mono and hit return. You will not see anything happen
but it has

Next type in: ls -ld ~/Document and hit return. You will not see anything happen
but it has

The next time you login, it will be the last time you will
use your login and password. Then quit Logos. The next time you start Logos,
all your woes will disappear.

This worked for me. Thanks!
