Contact IS&T and give an example of the error message.

Details

This can happen if an account has no LDAP data (ldap.mit.edu).

  • One possible reason would be that the user has not completed their registration for a Kerberos account (http://web.mit.edu/register) and/or that their record is not available in LDAP.
  • If using existing Kerberos tickets to authenticate to Touchstone, the browser might pick up the wrong tickets (e.g., root instance tickets), also resulting in this error.

[What are the various Moira statuses and what do they mean?]

  • Half-registered accounts (status 2 or 8) may not be in LDAP.
  • Occasionally an account is not synced. Updating an account's Moira status can force an LDAP sync.
  • Dragon Naturally Speaking browser extension is known to block Duo and display this error as well. Try disabling the extension.
