Remote Desktop: An authentication error has occurred. – This could be due to CredSSP encryption oracle remediation.

Hi everyone,

I ran into an auth issue with remote desktop today:

An authentication error has occurred.
The function requested is not supported.
Remote computer: XXXX

This could be due to CredSSP encryption oracle remediation.
For more information, see hhtps://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=866660

The solution is to add the May 2018 Windows Security Update on both the remote and local machines. If that’s not possible a registry entry can be added to the local machine to circumvent the issue. This can be done by running the following command in a command prompt as administrator:

REG ADD HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystemCredSSPParameters /v AllowEncryptionOracle /t REG_DWORD /d 2

You can also add the entry manually via regedit.

The cause is actually because of a security update in windows. If either the remote or local machine has the update and the other does not the error is triggered. There’s more info available on the following page: https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/issues/480

Web API 2 – ExceptionMessage=No MediaTypeFormatter is available to read an object of type ‘HttpPostedFileBase’ from content with media type ‘multipart/form-data’.

Hi everyone,

I ran into the following error while trying to get image uploads working with Web API 2:

ExceptionMessage=No MediaTypeFormatter is available to read an object of type ‘HttpPostedFileBase’ from content with media type ‘multipart/form-data’.

I had been trying to copy the following from an mvc controller in another project:

public IHttpActionResult Upload(HttpPostedFileBase file, Models.Image.ImageAssociationType associationType, int associationId)

The fix was to use the following instead:

public IHttpActionResult Upload(Models.Image.ImageAssociationType associationType, int associationId)
{
var file = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files.Count > 0 ? HttpContext.Current.Request.Files[0] : null;
…

DbSet does not contain a definition for ‘FromSQL’ and no extension method ‘FromSql’ accepting an argument of type ‘DbSet’ could be found.

Hi everyone,

I ran into the following error while attempting to use a custom query with EntityFramework:

DbSet does not contain a definition for ‘FromSQL’ and no extension method ‘FromSql’ accepting an argument of type ‘DbSet’ could be found.

This one’s pretty straight forward:

// Install the following package via nuget
Install-package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Relational

//Add the following namespace to your file
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

Hopefully that’ll solve it for you, but if not there’s a lot a more information in these posts:

Module not found: Can’t resolve ‘babel-polyfill’ in ‘C:Userssourcereposfrontendsrc

Hi everyone,

I was looking into asynchronous requests with redux tonight and hit the following error:

Module not found: Can’t resolve ‘babel-polyfill’ in ‘C:Userssourcereposfrontendsrc

This is used to provide a promise polyfill for a fetch package mentioned in the tutorial. In order to fix it, just run the following:

npm install babel-polyfill

Module not found: Can’t resolve ‘redux’ in ‘C:UsersFrontEndSrcfrontendnode_modulesreact-reduxesconnect’

Hi everyone,

Another quick one. I’d installed react-redux but was running into the following error:

Failed to compile.

./node_modules/react-redux/es/connect/mapDispatchToProps.js
Module not found: Can’t resolve ‘redux’ in ‘C:UserssourcereposFrontEndSrcfrontendnode_modulesreact-reduxesconnect’

Fairly easy fix, you need redux as well as react-redux:

npm install –save redux

Once that’s done, it should all be working!

Cheers,

index.js:2178 Warning: A component is changing an uncontrolled input of type checkbox to be controlled. Input elements should not switch from uncontrolled to controlled (or vice versa). Decide between using a controlled or uncontrolled input element for the lifetime of the component. More info: https://fb.me/react-controlled-components

Hi everyone,

Bit of a silly error I ran into today. This one took an embarrassingly long time to figure out unfortunately:

index.js:2178 Warning: A component is changing an uncontrolled input of type checkbox to be controlled. Input elements should not switch from uncontrolled to controlled (or vice versa). Decide between using a controlled or uncontrolled input element for the lifetime of the component. More info: https://fb.me/react-controlled-components

It turned out that the error was a result of not having added the state variable in the constructor. It was then being created onChange and converting the input element into a controlled input.

I was trying to use a checkbox in my form and had copied the input from another view:

Ticket
 {this.handleChange(event)}} />

HandleChange is as follows:

/* Sets a state value based on the name of the input changed */
handleChange: function (caller, event) {

    const target = event.target;
    const value = target.type === 'checkbox' ? target.checked : target.value;
    const name = target.name;

    caller.setState({ [name]: value });
}

Bit of a silly one, but hopefully it will be able to help out anyone else who runs into it!

Cheers,
Chris

Module build failed: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open – Windows

Hi everyone,

I’ve been mucking around with React over the last couple of days. I ran into the following error while trying to build:

Module build failed: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘c:…Form.js’
at Error (native)

It took a while to sort this one out but I eventually came across a solution on github:

npm rebuild node-sass

Thanks to xzyfer for posting in the following github thread: https://github.com/sass/node-sass/issues/1579#issuecomment-227661284

There’s a whole heap of info in that thread so be sure to check it out.

Cannot attach the file ‘C:…database.mdf’ as database x – Entity Framework

Hi everyone,

I ran into the following error when attempting to run ‘update-database’ on an initial migration:

Cannot attach the file ‘C:Users…App_Dataaspnet-…115933.mdf’ as database ‘aspnet-…15933’

The solution to this one is pretty easy, remove the initial catalog property from your connection string.

…33.mdf;Initial Catalog=aspnet…

This is apparently caused by issues with EntityFramework and multiple projects in the same database. See the following stackoverflow answer for more info: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20176660/522859

Unsupported_Grant_Type – MVC Web Api (error)

Hi everyone,

I ran into the following error while attempting to authenticate using .NET Web Api:

POST http://localhost:63720/Token HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:63720
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 0
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2018 14:18:06 GMT
Content-Length: 34

{“error”:”unsupported_grant_type”}

This one was pretty straight forward. Ensure that have the correct content-type:

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

And finally, ensure that you provide a grant type in the request body:

grant_type=password&username=test_username&password=test_password
