  • Also related to this case you can receive the above error intermittently if using clustered CMS's and the SPN in the CMC matches the service account for less than all of them. In that case even when attempting to login to 1 CMS the request may be sent to another and it makes it difficult to see there is an issue. So check all the CMS's to verify they all are running under the same service account with the matching SPN in the CMC. Below is the same error when logging into BI launchpad or CMC

  • The Error message in CMC or BI launchpad can be "Account information not recognized: The active directory authentication plugin could not authenticate you at this time. Please try again. If the problem persists, please contact your technical support department (FWM 00005)
