Hi,

I followed the steps at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Active_Directory_integration to join my Arch box to a Windows Active Directory hosted on my LAN. I can log in and elevate on the shell; however, when I try to do so through an action in KDE that requires elevation, I get an error message reading, "Authentication failure, please try again.".

Is there a reason why this is happening, and how can I fix this issue?

can't say i've done this specifically but you're sure you've got the right user and you put the password in right?

#

i assume you have just gotta get past the little dumb mistakes first

I did ensure the right user was selected and the password was correctly entered by pasting it in
