How to open UNAUTH file?
The most common problem when using SiteMinder Unauthorized Message Format is that a specific UNAUTH is not associated with the program. This causes the file UNAUTH to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UNAUTH file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install SiteMinder
The first step is to check if the computer has the SiteMinder program installed. To do this, enter the name SiteMinder into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open UNAUTH files.
Programs to open UNAUTH file
Remember to download programs supporting UNAUTH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SiteMinder with UNAUTH files
If, despite the installed application, the UNAUTH file does not start in the SiteMinder application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the UNAUTH file with the SiteMinder application.
Step 3. Update SiteMinder to the latest version
If, however, after binding SiteMinder with SiteMinder Unauthorized Message Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CA Technologies website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UNAUTH file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the UNAUTH file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UNAUTH file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UNAUTH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the UNAUTH file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UNAUTH file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Netegrity, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UNAUTH files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the UNAUTH file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UNAUTH file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
