Hello,

am trying to connect a host to spinhenge and to LHC Test4Theroy. Both wont attach due to the weak auth. Having checked my host list, the specific host is listed as "guest".

Even a complete reinstall of BOINC (7.0.28 on WinXP SP3) and connect to BAM with user/pass didn't resolve the prob.

Is there any way to make the host attached by user/pass, or to change it from guest to standard?

Best regards - Olav

Spinhenge has had no work since months and does not accept new hosts.

LHC Test4Theory are having a scheduled downtime this weekend, you should try it after a few days

So IMHO it's not a problem with BAM or BOINC.

If you're using a weak authenticator, you're not using BAM, which will only accept username & password for adding projects.

Sorry, that's not correct. Look on your Main account page, there's the "Weak Authenticator". Use that as username and password when connecting the manager to BAM!. Now the host is attached with a Weak Authenticator and all projects that will run on it will also attach with a Weak Authenticator.

As for the problem of TS:

• Detach host from BAM!
  
• Stop BOINC
  
• Go to the DATA directory from BOINC and delete all files which start with "acct_mgr"
  
• Open file "client_state.xml", find "host_cpid" and change the value, but be sure to not change the length and only use 0-9 and a-f
  
• Start BOINC and attach to BAM!
