I’ve run right into a irritating difficulty with iTerm2 and Terminal on my work MacBook Professional (M3 Max Sequoia).
I had arrange a couple of iTerm2 profiles for SSH logins that included passwords. After failing to correctly sign off from one of many periods, each iTerm2 and the default Terminal app now immediate me for login credentials each time I open them. My regular password would not work—it looks like it’s asking for the foundation person particularly.
I’ve tried every little thing I may discover on-line: eradicating .zshrc, .zprofile, and the Terminal/iTerm2 preferences (plist recordsdata), restarting, and so forth., however nothing has labored thus far.
If I set the iTerm2 profile’s command to /bin/zsh, I can open a working terminal, but it surely masses with out my regular settings, surroundings variables, or profiles.
I am actually caught at this level and undecided what I am lacking. Since it is a work laptop computer, I don’t have admin/root entry, so I can not do a full reset. It looks like some setting or file is corrupted, however I haven’t been in a position to establish it. (I’ve additionally .oh-my-zsh put in if it helps)
Has anybody skilled one thing related or discovered a working resolution?
Replace
I resolved this difficulty after working with IT and needed to share an replace in case anybody runs into one thing related. It turned out the issue wasn’t associated to any recordsdata, settings, or system corruption as I initially suspected. Our firm makes use of Ubikeys for authentication, and IT defined {that a} latest macOS replace launched a bug the place the system fails to correctly acknowledge the Ubikey. This triggered login prompts to look even when authentication ought to have labored.
IT talked about they reported the difficulty to Apple, however Apple hasn’t acknowledged it but. As a workaround, they reset the foundation password and Ubikey authentication, which restored regular performance—for now, not less than, till the bug resurfaces.
Extra data
The determine beneath exhibits the profiles settings in iTerm2. There’s a setting referred to as Command that I highlighted within the crimson rectangle. I get the login immediate proven above when that is set to its default Login Shell.
I can change the Command setting to Command (proven beneath), and set it to /bin/zsh/, or zsh --no-rcs, or just simply zsh. On this case, it opens the terminal with out the login promot (by the best way, this solely works for iTerm2, the identical workaround doesn’t work with the terminal app for some cause).
The next is the output of zsh -l -v -x with my precise username changed with myusername. (Observe that I deleted ~/.zshrc and ~/.zprofile hoping that it may resolve the difficulty. That is why you is probably not seeing it within the output.)
