Hi,

I have a problematic problem

I have installed BOINC two days ago and when i try to log in my account (Account name : Thedoc) i can write any password, it is always correct... And the manager always log in... I tryed the good password, and many wrong password (like tralala or plop) and it always log in...

No problem you'll say... But... the account logged in is not the right account.... And this is the problem... The account logged is always "The doc" (instead of Thedoc) and the account user is the wrong :

"11/02/2012 18:27:38 | | Account manager: BAM! User: 65079, The doc"

My account number is 90608... so i don't unnderstand... but i can't connect to my projects... Thanks to help me and excuse me for the language... i'm french...

I think you mean the password you type in to connect the host to BAM!.

This host was probably attached to BAM! before. In that case, it will match the host CPID to a BAM! CPID or the host_authenticator to a BAM! authenticator and BAM! assumes this is the same host. There is never an actual login in that case.

The reason for this is that the host will send the password with each request, but when the password is changed (here on the website) each host that has an old password will be unable to connect if the password was also validated. Since the CPID and host_authenticator are unique and both are not public (the host CPID shown in the stats is NOT the same as the one in the BAM! request!) they are goo "enough" for authentication.

If there is a demand for it I will make it an option for users to always require a check on the password, even for hosts which are already joined to BAM!.

HI,

I found my solution!

I simply connect to the wrong account (which was mine, but now, it is unused) and i delete the computer from my old account. And when i connect to my account (from the boinc integrated account manager) it run! The computer is linked to my new BAM account!

Thank you to help me to find the solution!
