My intention to reply this thread is just to share my experience with the same error when trying to install OCMS in a Solaris Sparc64 SunOS 5.9 Sun-Fire-480RSystem.
My first attempt was to install TimesTen and OCMS with a different Unix user than Oracle Application Server and I was getting the Credentials Problem, so I read this thread and tried most of the suggestions here.
First I re-installed AS and didn´t work; I tried using Silent mode as recommended in OCMS Release Notes, didn´t work.
With the ocms Unix user I was able to execute succesfully the following commands in the Unix prompt:
$ opmnctl status -port
saturn:6003
$ java -jar /home/oraAS10g/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS/j2ee/home/admin_client.jar deployer:oc4j:opmn://saturn:6003/home oc4jadmin oc4jadmin1 -validateURI
URI deployer:oc4j:opmn://saturn:6003/home is valid and connected
$ java -cp /tmp/validation-4.1.1-756.jar oracle.sdp.config.Oc4jAdminPasswordValidator deployer:oc4j:opmn://saturn:6003/home /home/oraAS10g/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS oc4jadmin oc4jadmin1
true
$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode)
The results looked OK, then I notice in the file Undefname_Undefpurpose.04140636 that installation script was not getting the correct hostname and port!!
Take a look at the logs:
(Apr 14, 2008 6:37:37 PM), Install, com.oracle.ocms.is.actions.CustomWizardLogAction, msg1, Performing AS Admin Validation - User: oc4jadmin
(Apr 14, 2008 6:37:37 PM), Install, com.oracle.ocms.is.actions.CustomWizardLogAction, msg1, /home/oraAS10g/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS/jdk/jre/bin/java -cp /tmp/validation-4.1.1-756.jar oracle.sdp.config.Oc4jAdminPasswordValidator deployer:oc4j:opmn://localhost:null/home /home/oraAS10g/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS oc4jadmin XXXXXXXXXX

If you look carefully, you will see deployer:oc4j:opmn://localhost:null/home ... localhost:null when it should have been saturn:6003
I haven't installed Oracle AS and OCMS other than Solaris, but you should get a similar log file for the installation for other OS, where you can compare or verify what I saw in my case.
So, what I finally end up doing was to install TimesTen and OCMS with the same Unix user as Oracle AS which installed succesfully.
Take a look at the log file:
(Apr 15, 2008 11:05:28 AM), Install, com.oracle.ocms.is.actions.CustomWizardLogAction, msg1, Performing AS Admin Validation - User: oc4jadmin
(Apr 15, 2008 11:05:28 AM), Install, com.oracle.ocms.is.actions.CustomWizardLogAction, msg1, /home/oraAS10g/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS/jdk/jre/bin/java -cp /tmp/validation-4.1.1-756.jar oracle.sdp.config.Oc4jAdminPasswordValidator deployer:oc4j:opmn://localhost:6003/home /home/oraAS10g/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS oc4jadmin XXXXXXXXXX
(Apr 15, 2008 11:05:34 AM), Install, com.oracle.ocms.is.actions.CustomWizardLogAction, msg1, OPMN PORT: 6003
(Apr 15, 2008 11:05:34 AM), Install, com.oracle.ocms.is.actions.CustomWizardLogAction, msg1, AS TTLib Path: /home/oraAS10g/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS/j2ee/ocms/applib
If you look carefully again, you will see that now I had deployer:oc4j:opmn://localhost:6003/home ... not saturn:6003 as I expected, but at least the correct port and the installation process continued succesfully!!!
Hopefully this helps or gives some new ideas!
Cheers,
