Could not authenticate the connection to director

[Jaywill10]

Hi there,

I am a regular user of composer HE. I updated composer and it also asked if I wanted to update my system, so I did. Its now running Version 3.3.2. However, when attempting to connect with composer, I get an error message: "Could not authenticate the connection director at 192.... Common causes are incorrect time/date settings on the controller or on the computer running composer." Not sure why I am getting this error message now. Is anyone familiar with this issue?

its a common error. try rebooting everything. If that does not work may need the system manager to check the time on the main controller to see if it has drifted. Also Daylight savings may be an issue for this as well check that your clocks match on both.

The time and date match identically to my PC as well as other internet-connected clocks in the house. I've tried rebooting multiple times. Any other possible solutions? This is just the first time this has happened after an update for me.

next step is to uninstall composer and reinstall.

That worked. Weird though as I had done this once already. I guess second times a charm!
