Weird LDAP error - active-directory

See stacktrace below
Caused by: javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49

Cant seem to find the exact error description based on the LdapErr code (DSID-0C0903A8) and the other details. Weird thing is, this happens intermittently. It gets fixed when application server connecting to ldap is restarted. We are using Websphere Application server 8.5
Can anyone suggest the cause for this error?

This error will occur when invalid credentials (data 52e) are presented. The trivial reason is a mistyped password or username.
A more sophisticated reason can be an unknown user or outdated password due to replication issues. This can happen if an administrator creates (or modifies) the user account on DC-1 and Websphere tries to bind that user to DC-42 before the user account was replicated to that DC. Depending on network topology and latency settings you may have a lot of time (between seconds and hours) to play that game.
You may want to make sure Websphere connects to the PDC-Emulator, so at least the current passwords are known as fast as can be.

powerBi can't access database after crash

I'm working with powerBi and today it got a crash because my RAM got full, When I logged back in, I took the auto save backup, but when loading it I was unable to reconnect to the database, giving me this error message.
An error occurred while reading data from the provider:
'Unable to load the file or assembly 'System.EnterpriseServices,
Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.
Either a required identity borrowing level was not provided,
or the identity borrowing level provided is invalid.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070542)'
I looked on the internet to see any solution for my problem but I couldn't find anything similar. I investigated powerBi for a reconnexion button, but couldn't find any.
So I come here asking you help, any idea where my problem can come from?
thanks in advance!
Ok after some more research and tests, I finally found the solution.
I needed to launch powerBi Desktop as administrator.
This problem was preventing it to access the database for "to low admin level", but in a strange and complicated message.

Connection tab of Google Cloud SQL instance taking forever to load the console interface

I want to access my cloud database from my computer but the connection tab cannot load to finish so that I can enter my IPv6 address. This is the second time am experiencing this issue and my network is strong enough. It's now been 20 minutes, but still the three dots are just indicating progress that never ends.
The first time it happened I had to leave my computer and go for a walk. This really frustrates me since it's in production and rapid updates should not be delayed.
How can I fix this?
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
It happens after I re-open Mysql-workbench and it fails reason being my IPv6 has been changed possibly by my Internet Service Provider (ISP) (I dont know of other possible reasons). After Mysql-workbench fails, I go to the console to update the new one but this problem occurs.
I think Cloud SQL security (don't know exact name) is treating this a malicious access attempt hence initiating this weird delay for immediate subsequent access. If so, then this is purely impractical for b/s since my computer does not tell me that my IPv6 has changed, besides, that normal regular IPv6 updates can't be treated as malicious lest developers continue to suffer this issue.
EDIT: This time it finished loading after approximately 50 minutes.
Have you considered using the Cloud SQL proxy to connect to your instance instead of white-listing an IP? White-listing an IP can be insecure since it provides anyone on your network access, and inconvenient (as you have discovered) because if your IP changes you lose access.
The proxy uses a service account to provide authenticated access to your instance, so it will work regardless of your IP (as long as your service account has the correct permissions). Check out these instructions for a guide on starting it up.
(As a side note, it's a difficult problem to tell why your connectivity tab is failing to get load. It might be a browser add on or even a networking failure in your local network that is interfering. You can check the browser dev console to see if any errors appear)

Network access was interrupted

The Access database just needs to be open and it will usually crash within the next 20-40mins, resulting in the following error message:
Your network access was interrupted. To continue, close the database, and then open it again.
More details:
The database is split, with the back end and front end on a server. The computers are then connected to the server via LAN (ethernet).
Although there are multiple computers connected to the server, the database only has one user at a time.
The database has been fine for almost a year, until this week where this error has started occurring.
We never have connectivity issues with the server.
I have seen several answers saying it is:
the databases fault, as it is starting to corrupt
the servers fault, as it broken, dropping my connection briefly
microsofts fault, they should patch it
I am hoping this is a problem with the database itself, as I am not responsible for the server.
Does anyone have a definitive solution?
I have recently experienced the same problem, and it all started when I moved my DB in an extrernal disk. The same db was working just fine in the local disk, or in the previous external disk. So, i am guessing is just a bug that has to do with the disk letter changing or something like this.
The problem sounds like an unstable LAN connection OR changes the LAN location (e.g. new hardware or changs to admin settings) causing increased latency.
If you have forms in the FE bound to BE tables the latency can cause the connection to be severed resulting in the error you see.
I'm not a network admin but the main culprits I've seen are:
Users connecting to the network using a VPN using an unstable connection (cell phones, crappy wifi, or just bad ISP service).
Network admins capping persistent connections to a share causing disconnects.
Unstable network hardware or bad hardware configuration.
"Switching" between wired and wireless LAN connections.
I don't think the issue is the database other than having bound forms to a BE database which is more of a fundemental design problem than anything else.
Good luck!
I use Access 2010. I had the same issue but solved it in the following ways.
On the external data ribbon, go to the Import & link group and click on Linked Table Manager.
Click on select all.
Click on Ok to refresh the links.
In cases where the path of the BackEnd database file has been changed, browse to the new location and select the new path. This will also refresh the links. This will solve the problem. It did for me.
You wrote, "The database has been fine for almost a year, until this week where this error has started occurring."
Clearly something has recently changed for this to be happening and without narrowing the field of possibilities it's anyone's guess. However, in my experience Jet DB crashes when two or more users are accessing and editing the same record(s) at the same time. So, if you've recently added new users this is a possibility.
Note: Jet is a file-server DB not a client server, which means the app was probably designed for a specific number of front-end users. Without knowing more I would start there.
I resolved my issue on this when I figured out that I had a offline directory setup and the sync was having an issue I turned off the sync and tested it and the error went away.

OData HTTP400 Timeout Error

This is one of the most bizarre problems I've come across since I started using OData for my mobile apps. The OData server I've developed is backed by SQL Express 2008 and this combination has been installed on 50 different servers and/or PCs over the last 15 months. All 50 servers have been running stable with consistent function for large amounts of data.
A couple of days ago one of my clients contacted me indicating that my client app (running on iOS7) was having an odd error come up when POSTing data to their server. The error had an HTTP code of 400 and the error text is "The operation couldn't be completed. (Timeout error 400.)". My first question is: why is a timeout error coming back with a 400 code? Generally when I get timeouts (due to firewall, etc) they're in the 100x range. There is no indication in the event logs on the server of ANY problems occurring. My own logs (stored in the SQL database) show no error (which is odd because I'm using the generic exception catching method in my OData service to log any problems). I haven't got to the step of adding logging of all requests as yet.
The error is only being raised when posting one particular set of data. All other posts from the device are functioning perfectly. I got the client to re-install the app (deleting all data) and then to download the data set that was causing the error. The download worked fine. We began making changes to the data to replicate what the data looked like when the error occurred in incremental changes, posting the change to the server and observing the result. Most of the incremental changes work fine but certain combinations cause the error to occur. One of the increments involves a large volume of changes and that posts fine, but subsequent alteration of any of the objects (sometimes altering as little as 6 characters in a text field) cause the error to occur. And yet in some circumstances altering objects that have already been posted to the server works without a problem.
I wiped the service components from the server and undertook a fresh install. I shifted TCP ports in case 443 had another listener causing problems. I reset the server. None of these change the behaviour of the error.
My last ditch solution is to completely re-install IIS and .NET Framework but I'd obviously like to avoid this as it's not my server... The server is overseas from my current location so debugging isn't really an option. Hoping someone has an idea as to what I can do diagnostically to try and determine the source of this bizarre 'gremlin'.
Have you tried a more thorough traffic analysis using a tool like Fiddler? The "timeout" error does indeed seem odd and what stood from you post was that your server was "overseas". Could there be something with the "times" that are being used/generated, e.g. server time, local time, etc?
Just to confirm, the "same" exact set of data always fails? Can you replicate this via a remote debugger or via localhost? If so, can you turn on "verbose errors"?

Linq-To-Sql and MARS woes - A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded

We have built a website based on the design of the Kigg project on CodePlex:
http://kigg.codeplex.com/releases/view/28200
Basically, the code uses the repository pattern, with a repository implementation based on Linq-To-Sql. Full source code can be found at the link above.
The site has been running for some time now and just about a year ago we started to get errors like:
There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first.
ExecuteNonQuery requires an open and available Connection. The connection's current state is closed.
These are the closest error examples I can find based on my memory. These errors started to occur when the site traffic started to pick up. After banging my head against the wall, I figured out assumed that the problem is inherit within Linq-To-Sql and how we are using the same connection to call multiple commands in a single web request.
Evenually, I discovered MARS (Multiple Active Result Sets) and added that to the data context's connection string and like magic, all of my errors went away.
Now, fast forward about 1 year and the site traffic has increased tremendously. Every week or so, I will get an error in SQL Server that reads:
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded
Immediately after this error, I receive hundreds to thousands of InvalidCastException errors in the error logs. Basically, this error shows up for each and every call to the Linq-To-Sql data context. Only after I restart the web server do these errors clear up.
I read a post on the Micosoft Support site that descrived my problem (minus the InvalidCastException errors) and stating the solution is that if I'm going to use MARS that I should also use Asncronous Processing=True. I tried this, but it did not solve my problem either.
Not really sure where to go from here. Hopefully someone here has seen and solved this problem before.
I have the same issue. Once the errors start, I have to restart the IIS Application Pool to fix.
I have not been able to reproduce the bug in dev despite trying many different scenarios involving multi-threading, leaving connections open, etc etc.
One possible lead I do have is that amongst the errors in the server Event Log is an OutOfMemoryException for the Application Pool. Perhaps this is the underlying cause of the spurious SQL Datareader errors (a memory leak elsewhere). Although again I haven't been able to reproduce this in dev.
Obviously if you are using a 64 bit OS then this is probably not the cause in your case.
So after much refactoring and re-architecting, we figured out that problem all along is MARS (Multiple Active Result Sets) itself. Not sure why or what happens exactly but MARS somehow gets result sets mixed up and doesn't recover until the web app is restarted.
We removed MARS and the errors stopped.
If I remember correctly, we added MARS to solve the problem where a connection/command was already closed using LinqToSql and we tried to access an object graph that hadn't been loaded. Without MARS, we'd get an error. But when we added MARS, it seemed to not care about it. This is really a great example of us not really understanding what the heck we were doing and we learned some valuable (and expensive) lessons from this.
Hope this helps others who have experienced this.
Thanks to all how have contributed their comments and answers.
I understand you figured out the solution..
Following is not a direct solution to the problem; but it is good for others to take a look at
What does "A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded." SQL Azure error mean?
