-24950,ERR_USRFAIL: User authorization failed

[barclay_duncan]

Hello

I have installed MAXDB 7.7  on Solaris Sparc ready for installing a SAPMDM catalog.

I followed the instruction fine and it appears to have go in no problems as it successfuly finishes/

Except one crucial one point.

I  can't connect to it via dbmcli or dba studio

when I also do a

dbmcli -d DSC -u DBM,password

Error! Connection failed to node myhostdsc01 for database DSC:

-24950,ERR_USRFAIL: User authorization failed

I set the DBM and DBA password are required by the installation to a 9 characters.

I have loged a call with SAP but still waiting for them.

Any ideas please?

cheers

You should try with user control  and the password usually set is control .

db,cli -d DSC -u control,control

Hope this works.

can you try this

dbmcli -d DSC -p <hostname> -u control,control

Also check if x_server is up or try running x_server start

Hi Ratnajit

dscadm> dbmcli -d DSC -n clbhvvhwdsc01 -u control,control

Error! Connection failed to node clbhvvhwdsc01 for database DSC:

-24950,ERR_USRFAIL: User authorization failed

Hello,

Threads … It’s more likely another thread:

http://scn.sap.com/thread/1659482

where I wrote: “I was able to reproduce the issue on the local server. When I created MDM database instance using the SDBSETUP and database software package version 7.7.06 BUILD 017. I selected password being "control09" (9 characters) and only 8 characters were accepted => the DBM user was created with password "control0" (8 characters).”

And customer has opened SAP message already. Regards, Natalia Khlopina

Hello Natalia

You were correct. My password was too long. It was 9 characters. I reinstalled the database with an 8 character password and every thing was fine

~Many thanks
