Portal import scripts return invalid username/password

When we use the import scripts without modification and pass in the password as a parameter it errors out with invalid username/password. Is it because the script picks default password of portal30 instead of the one specified on command line? This is a major issue for us during migration as passwords may be different on each environment. However the scripts work when the password is hardcoded in the script. Anybody encountered the same problem. Any workarounds/fixes?

Could you please let us know what version of portal you are using. Also, let us know whether you used a UNIX script or a NT script.
Thanks.

  • JAVA SCRIPT application: Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username.

    Every time I start up Firefox, I get the following:
    JavaScript Application
    "mfernandez1957" Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username.
    What do I do?
    Another issue is hang ups, I mean every few seconds it hangs up and I get (Not Responding), which is frustrating when you're entering data or whatever and in the middle it freezes so then you have to go back and retype stuff that never got entered. It even hangs right out the gate, I get (Not Responding), I mean, before Firefox is even fully loaded, it hangs, it even hangs (though considerably less frequently) with all my plug ins currently disabled. So that's another issue.
    If y'all can help, I would be grateful.

    hello, please try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] and see if this can address the issue...

    Hi to all:
    I am installing ECC in AIX with RDBMS Oracle 10.2.0.2 in Productive System in HA mode with HAMP. When balancing the services Cluster I have problems starting SAP.

    In node 2 of a Cluster System I have the Test instance. The solution that we proposed is with two instances of RDBMS Oracle (one in Node 1, and other in Node 2) for productive system. In Node 2, we have 2 instances of Oracle in Node 2.

    How I can see with what user and password the R3trans try to connect to database??
    I have read the following notes:
    Note 400241
    Note 50088
    Note 361641
    I am trying with this script that I have readed in NOTE 361641 :
    sqlplus /NOLOG @?/rdbms/admin/oradbusr.sql SAPPRD UNIX PRD X;
    But these throw No Match. I think the problem is that I have not filled the fields with correct values.
    If I executed this script:
    SELECT OWNER FROM DBA_TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'T000';
    The result is:
    SAPSR3
    The SAP System ID (SAPSID) = PRD
    Database ID (DBSID) = PRD
    Thanks you very much in advance!!!

    I have executed the R3trans -x with oraprd user.
    The answer to your query is:
    SQL> select owner from dba_tables where table_name='SAPUSER';
    OWNER
    OPS$PRDADM
    I have executed the R3trans also with prdadm, this is the result:

  • Invalid username/password  when running VSM1.3

    Hi, I have the issue of invalid username/password when running VSM 1.3.
    When I ran authentication.java , I got the error as follow:
    oracle: Exception thrown from getService method of ServiceLocator class: Lookup error:javax.naming.AuthenticationException:Invalid username/password for current-workspace-app(admin);nested exception is: javax.naming.AuthenticationException:Invalid username/password for current-workspace-app(admin)
    When running the web app, I got same message "Invalid username/password ".
    I checked the database. There are 4 records for admin,apparelowner,electowner and guest.
    My oracle db has japanese character set.
    I have read all the threads about the topic of VSM.
    But unfortunately I didn't find a clear conclusion and solution for this issue.
    Is it an issue of locale? Really appreciate your reply.
    Leon

    Was this working before? If yes, any changes been done recently?
    Was the dbc file recreated recently?
    Please see these docs/links.

  • Invalid username/password; logon denied

    We are migrating from Oracle 8 to Oracle 11g. Amongst the various tools the client uses is an application written in C++ that uses ODBC. This application is giving us a peculiar problem: From the laptop of one of the main developers, it can connect to the Oracle 11g database just fine. From every other machine (including my own desktop) we cannot connect to the Oracle 11g database using this application.
    On my desktop, I can connect to the database using SQL*Plus. I can use the ODBC connection I created for Excel and import data from the Oracle 11g database into a sheet of mine. Thus, for all intents and purposes it seems to work.
    Ordinarily I'd say that the C++ application is simply broken. The only problem with this explanation is that it apparently works from the main developer's laptop. Does this strange behavior ring a bell? Did he not correctly deinstall his Oracle 8 libraries? Are there configuration options we could have forgotten somewhere? A client setting regarding case-sensitivity of usernames?
    The error message comes with "COM info" and says:
    HRESULT value = -2147217843
    HRESULT message = IDispatch error #3149
    IErrorInfo source = Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
    IErrorInfo description = [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    I was hoping I could trace the connection somewhere and figure out what username and password was being sent over the wire. Unfortunately the listener.log file only list the OS username, eg. (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=xxx)(CID=(PROGRAM=xxx.exe)(HOST=xxx)(USER=asc))) with asc being my OS username but not the username used to log into the database.
    Any other ideas?

    someone does have the exact and correct username/password valuesApparently username and password are hard-coded into the application, so if I'm using the same application, I should not have to worry about username/password (both of them lower-case and both of them ASCII-only, no fancy encoding issues). I can use this username/password to connect to the database using SQL*Plus.
    What I'm missing, I think, is proof that the application is in fact always sending the correct username/password to the server, or that the application is triggering an error (except for the developers laptop) which is somehow masked by the "invalid username/password" error message.
    But there are ways to grab login info (i.e. username, client IP address, etc.) and maybe save it to a table or log it some place if figuring out the correct username is part of the issue.How could I grab the login info used by the application as it tries to connect to the Oracle 11g server? Below I have added some (too much?) Tracing info. Can I extract the login info used by the application from it?
    One thing that surprised my is that I see a ns=12630 in the Trace file (ORA-12630: Native service operation not supported) -- I wonder whether that is the real culprit.
    I've set my sqlnet.ora on the client side as follows:
    SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)
    NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)
    TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = SUPPORT
    TRACE_LEVEL_SERVER = SUPPORT
    ADR_BASE = \app\asc
    I've used trcasst to convert the Trace file into a summary, but didn't find anything to tell me what the problem is. The last function apparently involves TTIOER. That indicates an error somewhere, I think.
    <--- Received 128 bytes - Data packet timestamp=012-04-25 10:42:58.595706
    ORACLE function complete (TTIOER)
    ---> Send 10 bytes - Data packet timestamp=012-04-25 10:42:58.597280
         Data Packet flags:
              End of file
    Looking at the Trace file itself, my main problem is that I don't know what the important parts are. Here is a selection that caught my eye:

    Thanks for your response. I read the documents that you recommended. This looks like the same issue described in bug 6650342 which was fixed in v. 2.08 when 10g iAS was still being used. Could the same thing be happening with EPG? The MW account got locked after I retried the operation multiple times. The runtime details shows '$EOF_COMMON/buildftp.sh' as the script being run.
    Here is the error message that I received:

  • On starting up firefox i am getting an error message from javascript application telling me that my username is an invalid username/password combination.If i continue to get this error message,try entering my email address as my username.

    Hi,on starting firefox which i have used solely as my browser for years i am now getting an error message from java script application that shows my username followed by a message saying; 'username'-Invalid username/password combination.If you keep getting this error,try entering your email address as your username'. I then press the OK button within that error message box and it dissapears and everything seems ok although hover my cursor over the mail(envelope) icon and it says not connected.
    I only started having this problem since downloading firefox 4.It also does not tell me where this problem is occuring so i do not know where to log on with this information.I would be most grateful for any help with this matter.Many thanks.

    Take a look in the Error Console for details about that.
    Tools > Error Console <br />
    Right-click the message and use '''Copy''' to get that complete message.

    I have searched the forum to my level best without clear solution
    Regards
    Sadock

    Hi gurus
    I don't believe if this is missing solution from oracle community. I have decided to installed the collction agent and source database in linux system, so now both auditt vault server and collction agent are running in Linux system (but separately)
    I am wondering, avorcldb add_collector -srcname ORCL -agentname avagent01 -colltype DBAUD and  avorcldb add_collector -srcname ORCL -agentname avagent01 -colltype OSAUD -orclhome /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1 are working fine and  I am able to start these collectors
    The  avorcldb verify -src Lugaosrv:1521:ORCL.LUGAOSRV -colltype ALL command also return good results
    [oracle@avsrv ~]$ avorcldb verify -src Lugaosrv:1521:ORCL.LUGAOSRV -colltype ALL
    Enter Source user name: srcuser_ora01
    Enter Source password:          
    source ORCL.LUGAOSRV verified for OS File Audit Collector collector
    source ORCL.LUGAOSRV verified for Aud$/FGA_LOG$ Audit Collector collector
    source ORCL.LUGAOSRV verified for REDO Log Audit Collector collector
    [oracle@avsrv ~]$
    The problem still I am facing is when attempting to add REDO collector. In fact the collector is added successful and i can see it even on EM console.
    [oracle@avsrv ~]$ avorcldb add_collector -srcname ORCL -agentname avagent01 -colltype REDO -av Lugaosrv:1521:ORCL.LUGAOSRV
    source ORCL verified for REDO Log Audit Collector collector
    Adding collector...
    Collector added successfully.
    remember the following information for use in avctl
    Collector name (collname): REDO_Collector
    initializing REDO Collector
    ERROR: could not get AV source user connection using jdbc:oracle:oci:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=Lugaosrv)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=ORCL.LUGAOSRV)))
    ERROR: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

    Any help will be appreciated

  • ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied quality system refresh from production

    Dear All;
    I am in the post activities of SAP system refresh.
    I restored the system using brtools successfully as you can see below:
    then I went with the rest of the steps based on sap recomendations, and reached to SAP sql queries:
    CREATE USER "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM" DEFAULT TABLESPACE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
    CREATE USER "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>" DEFAULT TABLESPACE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
    GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, SAPDBA TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM";
    GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, SAPDBA TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
    CREATE TABLE "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER (USERID VARCHAR2(256), PASSWD VARCHAR2(256));
    INSERT INTO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER VALUES ('SAPSR3', '<Password>');
    CREATE SYNONYM "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>".SAPUSER FOR "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER;
    CONNECT /
    GRANT SELECT, UPDATE ON "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
    CONNECT /as sysdba
    GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
    GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM";
    I checked if all users are on opened state using select USERNAME,ACCOUNT_STATUS from dba_users;
    The database is running file, and it is opened, but when I run R3trans -d it gives me RC 12 and i get this error:
    *** ERROR => CONNECT failed with sql error '1017'
    set_ocica() -> SQL error code 1017
    -->oci_get_errmsg (con=0, rc=1017)
    OCIErrorGet -> SQL error code: 1017
    ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    DbSlConnect(con=0) -> orc=0, 99=DBSL_ERR_DB
    ***LOG BY2=>sql error 1017   performing CON
    ***LOG BY0=>ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    I used brconnect -u / -f chpass -o PSAPSR3 -p sap so i can reset the password, but still I am getting the same invalid username or password error.
    I checked the listener status, and it is running.
    Kindly let me know how I can fix my error
    Best Regards

    Password has been changed for the AR user using FNDCPASS , but when we restart the patch , we still get the same error . Please suggest
    Can you connect via sqlplus using the new password? -- sqlplus ar/<ar new password>
    If yes, then run the script that failed manually via sqlplus and make sure it runs successfully then skip the failed worker via adctrl.
    Thanks,

  • ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied. but SQLPLUS works

    "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" when attempting to log on to db, in three different applications. Error is observed in Toad, Crystal Reports, and MS ODBC Administrator connect test. However, same db credentials work in SQLPLUS.
    Customer is attempting to log into reporting database hosted by my company, and using Cisco VPN client.
    I am unable to reproduce this at this time, on my machine, using same credentials and VPN profile.
    Here is what we know/tried:
    1. PING HOSTNAME is successful on CUSTOMER’S machine
    2. TNSPING HOSTNAME is successful on CUSTOMER’S machine
    3. SQLPLUS is successful with USER2/(pw)@HOSTNAME.int on CUSTOMER’S machine
    4. We corrected timeout error on CUSTOMER’S side, by adding TCP.CONNECT_TIMEOUT=1000 in SQLNET.ORA (Also observed extremely slow performance on CUSTOMER SIDE)
    5. We corrected dns suffix problem on CUSTOMER’S side, observed in NSLOOKUP by
    adding: IP ADDRESS AND HOSTNAME to Windows HOSTS file
    and commenting out default suffix COMPANY.com from SQLNET.ORA file
    6. VPN configuration and VPN credentials are good. 
    We tested CUSTOMER’S VPN profle, CUSTOMER’S VPN credentials, and user USER2/(pw)@HOSTNAME on my machine (WIN7). I am able to maintain persistant connection to HOSTNAME for hours
    7. TNSNames entries are good. Able to connect to db in Toad, and Crystal, on CUSTOMER’S machine using different Oracle user, USER3 (only has grant connect). Unable to logon to db, with Oracle user USER1, or USER2. (USER2 was created to try to resolve login problem w USER1, but issue still exists.)
    8. CUSTOMER has Windows VISTA, does not have admin privileges, has Oracle 10 installed for client. Using same Cisco VPN client I have installed.
    9. Database on our servers is 11g
    I suspect a configuration issue with CUSTOMER'S Vista machine, OR network, but not sure what to check.
    Help?

    Oracle is too dumb to lie.
    make sure that Java is installed on same system as Crystal Report.
    Then modify below to utilized your connection details to independently confirm connectivity independent of all other software.
