Invalid username or password when trying to start/stop SES

I've recently taken over this project as the previous person left the company. Last week everything was running just fine. This week, when I tried to go to either the search page or the admin page, I see:
Internet Explorer can not display the Webpage.
It seems something died on the server.
When I exectue the searchctl.bat, I get the following error.
oracle.search.config.OESException: Error while executing action: "stopall"
Caused by: oracle.search.config.OESException: Invalid username or password. Unable to connect to Oracle SES.
at oracle.search.config.Ctl.run(Ctl.javva:2119)
at oracle.search.config.Ctl.main(Ctl.java:2173)
Caused by: oracle.search.config.OESException: Invalid username or password. Unable to connect to Oracle SES.
I'm not promoted for a username/password so I don't know if it's trying to use my windows login or if it's reading from a config file somewhere. If it's the former, then I need to give myself access (I do have the admin username/password).
Version info:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.5.0
SES 10.1.8
Windows Server 2002 SP 2
The server was patched and restarted over the weekend.
I also tried rebooting the server to see if it would automatically startup, and it didn't.

Your directions were fine.
The only admin account I have is eqsys, not sys. And this account was able to connect to the Admin page last week before the server restart.
I entered
sqlplus eqsys/[pwd] as sysdbaIt returns:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.5.0 - Production on Wed Dec 21 08:04:01 2011
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
Enter user-name:
If I insetad enter
sqlplus eqsys/[pwd]It connects just fine (but doesn't have sysdba privlege).
So, of course if I enter
SQL> startup
I get
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

  • IPad keeps saying invalid username or password when I try to open email

    My iPad keeps saying invalid username or password when I try to open email

    Are the email account's settings correct in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars ? And did you set up the account manually on the iPad or did you sync the account's details to the iPad via the Info tab when connected to your computer's iTunes ?

  • Invalid agent registration password when trying to secure agent

    Hi Guys,
    looking for some help with an issue im having trying to secure a 10.2.0.4 agent against 10g OEM.
    A little background, the agent has been running succesfully against an OEM server which is now being decomissioned. I have editied the emd.properties file in order to point to the new server. I can start the agent ok, so far, so good. however when I try to run "emctl secure agent" I get:
    Enter Agent Registration password :
    Agent successfully stopped... Done.
    Securing agent... Started.
    Requesting an HTTPS Upload URL from the OMS... Done.
    Requesting an Oracle Wallet and Agent Key from the OMS... Failed.
    Failed to contact the OMS at the HTTP URL set in /ford/app/oracle/OracleHomes/agent10g/sysman/config/emd.properties
    The password im entering works when connecting to dbsnmp in the database.
    The sysman/log/secure.log file contains this:
    [main] ERROR sec.GetWallet - caught Exception java.lang.Exception: szOmsSeed exception java.lang.Exception: szOmsSeed error: ERROR:203:Invalid agent registration password

    Any ideas?

    thanks for your responses guys.
    as yet I dont have access to the GC environment at this stage, as the new oem is hosted and managed by a separate team. (sorry, would've helped to mention that).
    Re firewall, it should be ok I think, I can telnet succesfully to 4889 & 1159, 3872 is open the other way.

  • Invalid username and password when accessing ovi.....

    i have a problem when trying to sign in to ovi on my phone, it says e mail and password invalid even though this is not the case. i can sign in to ovi on the laptop and my husbands E71 using same information. Does anyone know a solution to this........ its driving me up the wall!!!!

    This question was asked before. I gave them the solution but they didn't take my advice.
    When entering the user name and password to access Ovi, the phone adds a blank character at the end of the user name and/or the password, and the site interpretes them as invalid. If you, after entering the info, erase the last blank character by using the delete button of the keyboard and then click "enter" no problems will remain.
    It happened to me too, therefore I know it so well.

  • Linksys keep prompting for username and password when trying to forward port

    As when we want to access the linksys router homepage we enter 192.168.1.1, and than we enter our user name and password. This is a normal step. But lately when i wanna forward a port and change the last 3 digit of the ip address, eg. to 101, i keep getting a promt for my user name and password but when i enter it correctly, it sill prompt me no matter whats. I used to forward port with no problem but do not know why this problem started to arise. Can anyone help me with this?
    Btw i am using Linksys B router. THANKS

    were u using the default password ?? because there is a possibility that someone in your neighbourhood must have connected to the wireless network and changed the router login password..
    apart from this i don't see any reason of the old router password not working ..

  • Since last update (today) I get invalid password when trying to use back to my MAC, password works everywhere else

    since last update (today) I get invalid Apple ID password when trying to use back to my MAC in Icloud app on my MAC, password works on all my other devices. GLITCH ?

    Try going to the Apple ID page on your web browser
    http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
    and try to either retrieve or reset your password
    (obviously you had to be able to successfully log in to be able to post here)
    I was finally able to log in through my system preferences after about three or four hours. I ran a disk utility to repair permissions and restarted and it seemed to work ok.

  • Word 2010 prompts for username and password when opening a document on trusted website

    Hi Guys,
    We have a website (not sure if the site is a sharepoint site) on our trusted domain that asked for username and password when trying to access it. I added the site to our trusted sites zone and this resolved the issue however when I try to open word documents
    I get prompted for usernames and password again if I cancel the credentials box the document opens with no issues. 
    Below is some of the steps i have taken
    - Tried opening other non office documents (e.g. PDF, JPEG) and they open with no issues
    - Tried to opening the word documents with a system that only had word pad install and not Office 2010 and the documents open with no issues so it looks like it's an office 2010 problem 
    Can you please advise how I can resolve this issue and if this is a client issue or an issue on the web server thanks

    Hi,
    This issue is caused by the Office suit itself. When Internet Explorer opens an Office document, the appropriate Office application is started with the path of the document. The Office application then tries to access the document directly from
    the server. This differs from other browsers and other file types. Most browsers download the file and call the application to open the file from the local cache. However, when this occurs, if the opened file is changed and saved,
    the changes are only made to the local copy and not to the server copy.
    To establish the richest experience possible, the first thing that the Office application does is communicate with the server to determine the server type and what web authoring protocol is available. The application does this by making
    an OPTIONS request directly to the server.
    As a new process accessing the server, the Office application is required to renegotiate authentication. This method is more secure than a method in which the new process uses an existing authentication that was established by the browser. 
    Please try the following methods:
    An alternative with full functionality but with a calculated risk
    Client approaches that can reduce the impact
    Alternative configurations when the web server does not support DAV or reduced functionality is acceptable
    For more detail information, please refer to the following link:

  • Error: Invalid Password when trying to sign in on any wireless devise

    Error:  Invalid Password when trying to sign in on any wireless devise
    I even reinstalled my WRT110 to be sure of the Network Name and Password but I still get this error.  I have never been able to log in to the wireless network.  I can see it - Ienter my password and still "Invalid Password"

    I don't understand this: Connect directly to the router.  Is this the http://192.168.1.1?
    I  HAVE changed the network name, I HAVE changed the password.
    I still get invalid password!!!
    I am extremely frustrated by all this.  I need simple instructions.  I followed them when I set the friggin thing up, I reinstalled.  I know what my friggin password is - why why why?

  • 01017 invalid username and password in toad

    Hi,
    I am getting '01017-invalid username and password logon denied' error when connecting via toad. but with same userid and password, I am able to connect via sql plus. Pleaase let me know how to resolve this issue.
    Regards,

    Hi again,
    Did I understand correctly the following :
    1) The database you are trying to access is in fact a clone of the production database and it is in the clone database that you get the error ?
    Yes facing the error in clone database only.
    2) When you said the user/password worked fine the previous day I assume you mean it worked fine on the source database , not on the clone database ?
    It was the clone only (Not the production)
    3) So, in fact you have never been able to access the clone database with this userid ?
    The user id were able to login yesterday and not today(This the cloned one)
    4) I also assume that the original user still works fine when accessing the source database ?
    Yes
    If I have understood correctly all these things then I think we need to understand the cloning process. How exactly do you clone the database ?
    1. Taken the control file trace and shutdown the source db.
    2. Copied the cold backup from target to source destination.
    3. moved the controlfile to other location (in source).
    4. started with
    startup nomount (source)
    i have run the script that was taken trace( I have done crosschecking of all datafiles with production for your information)
    create controlfile set database <name> resetlogs noarchivelog
    controlfile got created
    alter database open resetlogs.
    thats it.
    Regards

  • Invalid username and password combination woes

    Before I do what I think I am supposed to do... I wanted to run this by you guys first to make sure incase someone found a way. I wish i didn't have to do this but...
    I have a Mac on our domain running 10.6.6. It had a seizure of some kind and i was forced to cold boot it. We got it back up and running and to the login screen, but when we tried logging in to it, the login in screen just shook. No matter what AD account i tried logging in with, SHAKE! SHAKE! SHAKE The next thing i decided to do was unbind and rebind the Mac thinking maybe it had something to do with that. NO GOOD. Not only did I get an error that the Mac could not unbind from our domain, but now, no matter what account i use to try and rebind the mac, I get the dreaded: invalid username and password combination error. WHEN I KNOW THAT'S NOT THE CASE!
    Anyone know how to fix this OTHER THAN downgrading to a version of 10.6.x that CAN bind? If that's even a option???
    Thanks!

    Why is that always any Apple support person or Mac users answer? It's a Microsoft problem. How can it be, I have 20 macs connected to the same network. The mac having the problem has been successfully working for 3 months. It started shaking when the user came in and in the troubleshooting process we removed it and are trying to rejoin it backl on to a domain it has been working on for months and 19 other machines are still working on. How is this a microsoft problem? Please enlightne me? If it sounds like I am frustrated, I apologize, but I AM!
