RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)

0 Kudos

Hi,

My application on portal is getting the following error.

com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (103) RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)

I have tested the JCo successfully. Also, we are using username and password, not SSO.

I read in earlier posts that this error is because of incorrect username and password. But both are correct and my JCo is tested successful.

Can someone kindly guide me as to what could possibly be the problem?

If you see an RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE error, then it is definitely due to incorrect logon parameters used.

Please make sure that the user you are configuring in your JCO destinations (example SAPJSF) has a productive password in the backend system and that the password is not locked.

Check the below link to view JCo traces for further information:

Hi Shanti,

I have checked and tested the connection. It is fine. Password is also not locked at the backend.

When u say productive, what do u mean?

Unable to figure out what could be the reason for the error.

Any suggestions?

When a password is setup, it is usually set up as initial and would require a change upon first logon. After changing the password, it becomes productive.

I assume you have setup the user a Service user. So login with this service user and change the initial password to a productive password and use the productive password for establishing JCo connections.

Thanks,

HI Shanti, Need your help in this error.

" com.sap.conn.jco.JCoException: (103) JCO_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: The initial password has expired (request a new one) on 12.34.56.789 sysnr 01. "

Hi,

1) Check if the user have the required RFC authorization

2) You need to maintain the JCO RFC settings in your Visual Admin for that backend.

You should aslo create an RFC destination through SM59 for EP as in Registered Server Program.

check the above two points and also try to reimplment the original premissions.

Thanks,

Hi Purnimathy,

Please check the userid and other place where RFC uses used in SAP system to connect to SAP Portal. Also please try to reset the userid password and try again.

HI,

The problem is resolved.

Jco problem is resolved by deleting cookies at server end as per reply from SAP.

Thanks all for your valuable inputs.

Hi Purnima,

We are experiencing the same issue.  We are confused about your posted resolution though.  How do you "delete the cookies from the server end"?

We had the same issue, for us it was a misleading message:

RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)

in fact:

bw password was OK

bo connection password was OK

what we changed, was the password for accessing the dashboard administration, from the CMC panel on the right side.

Then all started working fine.

HI,

Sorry for the late response.

It is true that I am using a service user. I have check the password and it is working fine.

Although recently, we had the basis person reset the password of the service user. I have updated the JCo with new password. Is there any other place this needs to be updated because of which I am facing this error? I hope it is not because of the password reset.

Hi,

This error will get because of the incorrect or expired password. Change/Reset the password of the service user as said by Shanti and maintain the same password for the Jco connection. It will definitely work.

Thanks,

VV.
