I have a Mac mini (Late 2014) running OSX 10.11.2, and recently figured out an issue that has been bugging me for a while. When ever I get prompted to enter my login keychain password (for example to allow some app to access a password in my keychain), no matter what I type and then hit enter, or allow, it never seemed to work. I thought that maybe I had some how forgotten the password, but I was actually able to change it and then change it back to the original.
I got the idea to try entering the password directly on the mac, rather than via NoMachine, and it worked! I confirmed this several times to make sure I was not doing something wrong. As a simple experiment, all I have to do is open the keychain app, go to any password in my login keychain, right click on it and select copy “copy password to clipboard”. If I do this directly on the mac, and enter my password it works, but if I do it via NoMachine it does not.
Has anyone else seen this behavior, and or know a workaround?
My connection is using server version 5.0.47 with player 5.1.24 (both from Windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.04 (inside a vm on windows 10)
I will have to figure out how to update the Mac server version.

Hi John.
Are you trying to connect via NX protocol? Which nxserver product do you have – is it free? Can you paste here what is in the nxerror.log (it’s in “/Library/Application Support/NoMachine/var/log/” directory)?
We couldn’t reproduce the problem on 5.0.47 server. Do you have any special symbols (non latin characters etc.) in username or password?
This also might be of help to you:
Setting up key-based authentication with NX protocol.
https://www.nomachine.com/AR02L00785(By the way, if possible you should update to the latest NoMachine version.)
Yes I am using the NX protocol, and yes it’s the free version, just using it to connect to my Mac from Windows and Linux in another room.
The nxerror.log file is pretty long (seems like it has entries going back to my initial install), attached below is the part from were I installed the updated version of the server, let me know if you think more would be useful.
My password does include an _ and some numbers, but I had tried with a simpler keystore password, and that did not seem to make a difference.
I will try to setup the key based authentication when I get a chance (later this evening or in the morning).
Thanks for looking into this!
John

Please upgrade NoMachine on Mac to 5.1.24 and add extra options in the node configuration file (/Applications/NoMachine.app/Contents/Frameworks/etc/node.cfg) to DisplayServerExtraOptions do not confuse with DisplayAgentExtraOptions).
Then uncomment DisplayServerExtraOptions key and change value to “-oldeventapi 0” or just add following line on the bottom node.cfg file.
DisplayServerExtraOptions “-oldeventapi 0”
Let us know if it helps.
