      Ahh, interesting. Glad they were able to help out. Once you get the patch installed, the steps I outlined should get you authenticated again.

      Have you tried to re-authenticate workbench or restarting your workbench server?

      How to  re-authenticate workbench?? I never had workbench connection issue before

    • Coach

      This happens when your password has changed or expired. You will need to click on the key icon on the left of workbench and then click on re-authorize. It should open a browser and have you enter your credentials and a code. After you enter that, be sure and click on the save icon in workbench in the top right where you clicked re-authorize or else your credentials won't be updated. After this, close and re-open workbench and your jobs should re-appear.

      Looks like yours say Authorize. Click on Authorize. It will then launch a browser for you to sign and enter a code. Once done, be sure and click the save button in Workbench.

      Thank you

      Unless your IT adminstrators have browsers disabled on the machine that Workbench is installed on, it should open a browser. You may want to reach out to Domo support if you are still unsuccessful.

      Yes, I did. I just got Domo support feedback, said it is the window server version issue. I need to install window patch.

      Thank you

      This is DOMO feeback "On October 10th, Domo will be deprecating support for Workbench jobs running on Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012R2 that are running on insecure ciphers. A patch can be downloaded here to fix the insecure ciphers: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/SecurityAdvisories/2015/3042058. Windows Server versions that are newer than Windows Server 2012 will not require an update at this time, though we do encourage regular updates of your OS as a best practice for security."
