Event ID 8263 — Windows to UNIX Password Synchronization Service — Run-time Issues

Updated: December 16, 2008

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

Windows to UNIX Password Synchronization Service — Run-time Issues indicates the functionality of Windows to UNIX password synchronization operations.

When Password Synchronization is configured for Windows-to-UNIX synchronization, and a password is changed on a Windows-based computer running Password Synchronization, the Password Synchronization service determines whether the user’s password is to be synchronized on UNIX computers. When the Password Synchronization service is operating normally, it encrypts the password and sends it to the Password Synchronization daemon on each computer with which the Windows-based computer is configured to be synchronized. The daemon then decrypts the password and changes the password on the UNIX host.

Resolve
Fix possible failures for Win32 API

Password propagation failed because Password Synchronization experienced a failure attempting to call a Windows API.

Read the full text of the error message in Event Viewer to obtain the exact Windows error code.

To correct the error, try the following steps in order, moving on to the next step only if the current action failed to clear the error condition:

  1. Free virtual memory by closing unused applications.
  2. Restart the Password Synchronization service.
  3. Restart the computer on which the error was generated.

Verify

Retry Windows to UNIX password synchronization for failed user password changes to verify that it is operational. Password Synchronization is fully operational when the password synchronization succeeds, and operating under warning conditions if password synchronization fails for some passwords but succeeds for others.

If password synchronization succeeds for some passwords but fails for others, the Windows to UNIX Password Synchronization Service is likely fully operational, but there might be account- or computer-specific configuration problems preventing password changes from being synchronized on UNIX-based hosts.

Resolve
Retry the password change

A generic error occurred in the Password Synchronization service. Repeat the password change operation, and if that fails, restart the Windows-based computer on which Password Synchronization is installed.

Restarting the computer is typically required because the Password Synchronization dynamic link library (DLL) is loaded by the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) at system startup. Therefore, the effective method of reloading the Password Synchronization DLL is to restart LSASS, which is done by restarting the computer.

To restart the computer:

  • To restart the computer, click Start, click the arrow next to the Lock button, and then click Restart.

Updated: November 14, 2007

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

UNIX to Windows Password Synchronization Service — Run-time Issues indicates the functionality of UNIX to Windows password synchronization operations.

When Password Synchronization is configured for UNIX to Windows synchronization, and UNIX to Windows synchronization is functioning normally, passwords that are changed on UNIX hosts are synchronized on Windows-based computers and domains. The Password Synchronization pluggable authentication module (PAM) makes this possible by intercepting the password change request on the UNIX host, encrypting the password, and then sending the password change request to the Password Synchronization service running on the Windows-based computers with which it is configured to be synchronized.
