Invalid password during xi-installation

Question

Hi,
it appears an error like unvalid password. the password you specified for user <sid>adm is wrong.
I've checked: The password of the installation and the password of the windows user <sid>adm are similar.
Can anybody help me, please.
Thanks
Stefan

Answer 1

Hi,
have a look at OSS message 721548.
it explains how to change pwd in XI.
Possibly you will find a solution when going through the procedure.
here it is:
Symptom
You want to change the passwords of the XI service users in XI 3.0.
Reason and Prerequisites
The XI service users that are created during the installation of XI 3.0 are subsequently created in the R/3 system and added to the exchange profile with the passwords that were set during the installation. The users are maintained in various links and transactions during the Post Installation Steps.
If you want to change the passwords, you have to change them everywhere in a consistent way.
Solution
You must change the passwords at the following locations:
1. Transaction SU01 in the R/3 system:
               You must change the passwords for the R/3 ABAP.
1. Exchange profile - server settings:
              Call the XI exchange profile using:
              http://<xi host>:<j2ee port> /exchangeProfile
               Select the 'Connection' link and adjust the password for the XILDUSER user.
1. Exchange profile:
              You must now change the passwords in all parameters of the exchange profile to declare them to the Java applications.
               To do this, start the Exchange Profile as described in section 2, and adjust the changed passwords.
1. SLDAPICUST
               In transaction SLDAPICUST, adjust the password for the XIAPPLUSER user.
1. Transaction SM59, INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI destination:
               In transaction SM59, adjust the password for the XIISUSER user in the HTTP INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI destination.
1. SLD bridge in the J2EE Administrator Tool:
              Log on to the J2EE Administrator Tool. Under "Cluster --> Server --> Services --> SLD data supplier", change the password for the relevant user.
1. PMI Store destination in the J2EE Administrator Tool:
              Log on to the J2EE Administrator Tool. Under "Cluster --> Server --> Services --> Destinations", change the password for the XIRWBUSER user in the HTTP pmistore destination.
1. Adapter Framework Messaging Fallback User
              Log on to the J2EE Administrator Tool. Using Cluster --> Server --> Services --> Adapter Framework Messaging, change the password for the corresponding users in the following parameters:
messaging.isconfig.password
for the user in messaging.isconfig.username
messaging.system.eventHandler.XI.isconfig.password
for the user in messaging.system.eventHandler.XI.isconfig.username
              These parameters no longer exist as of Support Package 04. In this case, you do not need to make any changes at this point.
1. SM59 connections for end-to-end monitoring
              In SM59, adjust the user password in all connections that start with PMI*. You must adapt the connections under 'R3 connections' and 'HTTP connections for external server'.
              In addition, adapt the passwords in the systems to those that indicate the SM59 connection, if this is not the XI itself.
1. SM59 connections for GRMG monitoring
               In SM59, change the user password in all connections that start with XI_GRMG*. You must adapt the connections under 'HTTP connections to R/3 systems' and under 'HTTP connections to external server'.
              In addition, adapt the passwords in the systems to those that indicate the SM59 connection, if this is not the XI itself.
1. Restart the J2EE engine.
2. Links with sending business systems:
               In addition, you must check in all sending systems whether you are using one of the service users (for example, XIAPPLUSER) to log on to the XI system and change the passwords in the relevant systems.
               For this purpose, check the relevant SM59 destinations and logon data in the sending adapters.
You should also refer to the Post Installation Steps described in the XI 3.0 Installation Guide.
Checking the service links
After you have changed the passwords, perform the checks that are described in the Installation Guide under Post Installation Activities:
a) Checking the installation - Part 1
b) Checking the installation - Part 2
c) Testing the Cache Refresh
