Getting Invalid password message while running catalog utility

Question

Hi,
I am trying to index the modifyTimestamp attribute using catalog utility in OID.
I am using the command as :
./catalog -connect=orcl -add=TRUE -attribute=modifyTimestamp
Enter OID password:
but I am getting Invalid password error when I am entering the super user (cn=orcladmin) password.
Could you please help me in solving this issue.
Also can someone help me in knowing how to check what should be the correct value of connect_string.
I am running this command on Solaris.
Thanks in advance!!

Rohit,
The fix to this is fairly straightforward.
You have input an incorrect path for the -infile parameter when calling cryptotools.
You entered , -infile OracleBIData_HOME/web/config/credentialstore.xml
when it should be, -infile C:\OracleBI\web\config\credentialstore.xml , depending on the absolute physical path to the credentialstore.xml file.
It looks like you were attempting to use either a Nix (unix/linux) path with the forward slashes or you where trying to use a environment variable for "OracleBIData_Home".  I can see from the c:\ that you are on a Windows machine so the Nix path won't work. Also if you are attempting to use an environment variable that you have confirmed is indeed set, then you need to use %OracleBIData_HOME% in the command prompt which would look like %OracleBIData_HOME%\web\config\credentialstore.xml
So to answer your question your command should appear as below if I have accessed your path to the OracleBIData home correctly, you may need to change it based on your installation,
C:\OracleBI\web\bin>cryptotools credstore -add -infile C:\OracleBIData\web\config\credentialstore.xml
Just be mindful of your paths and your backslashes vs. forward slashes.
Please mark this as the correct answer to award points if it is or if you read it and it helped you.
