Recovering Server when DB Connection failed on startup

We have WebLogic 10.3.2. The database password associated with the cgDataSource has changed and now weblogic fails to start up. It throws the following exception  javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: [Security:090735]The DBMS connection was not usable exception.
I need to be able to update the password for the cgDataSource connection to get the server to start again.
I have tried updating the config/jdbc/cgDataSource-jdbc.xml with the new password (generated via java weblogic.security.Encrypt to generate the new encrypted password ). When I paste the encrypted password into the jdbc config file and re-start the server, I still get the DBMS connection failure.
Any suggestions on how i can recover this?
Details of the exception,
weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication denied: Boot identity not valid; The user name and/or password from the boot identity file (boot.properties) is not valid. The boot identity may have been changed since the boot identity file was created. Please edit and update the boot identity file with the proper values of username and password. The first time the updated boot identity file is used to start the server, these new values are encrypted.

Scott,
I'm having a similar problem. My iTunes is on an NAS server at home. This works great and I have no complaints. But I get that awful "Connection Failed" dialog box whenever I fire up the laptop whether at home or out. As long as I'm not connected to that server.
Then it pops up sporadically from there. I always have to hit "OK" twice, too. Hate to sound like a snob, but if feels like more of a Windows-type problem, and I'm a little embarrassed by it. Never had this with Tiger.
I don't care if Leopard is trying to fire up a connection in the background, but I don't care to hear about it. I too wish to suppress this dreadful message, which I experience upwards of twenty times a day.
Just giving this board some play; others please respond. I did a search on these boards for "Connection Failed" and found that most people are really trying to establish a connection. Scott and I are trying to suppress a message which is irritating. Slightly different issue.
Thanks,
Chris H.

  • My Mac can't find the server when I connect to cable internet.

    My Mac can't find the server when I connect to cable internet. Ethernet is fine, the problem is that Safari doesn't open the login/password window. Can anybody help?

    The system administrator of my network has had the following solution - to help open the window for the login/password I tick "web proxy" (and enter the information for web proxy server) in "network preferences - advanced - proxies", enter the login/password and then untick it to open webpages. A little complicated, but it works, and that's the only solution so far.

    Its look that libraries are not in class path when i start from the administrative console. What do you suggest? and How we can solve this problem?
    Regards,
    Imran

    Solution: Node manager issue, Node manager incorrectly configured,
    run
    $ ...oracle_common/common/bin/setNMProps.sh
    Then run the node manager start script.
    Other configuration may also be necessary:
    append | *.*.*.* to the incoming socket c.a.s.f for UCM in the em configuration web app ( http://IP:7001/em).
    Edit: above should red | star.star.star.star where star="*"

  • Internet Connection fails upon startup (and from sleep)

    I've brought a brand new iMac a week ago and continue to have problems with the internet. I have a very fast and stable connection from a homehub (wireless).
    This is what it looks like when I go to diagnostics when the internet fails:
    Green - Wi-Fi
    Green - Wi-Fi Settings
    Green - Network Settings
    Orange (sometimes Red) - ISP
    Orange - Internet
    Orange - Server
    From 'Network Diagnostics' I click on the continue get to the "select network stage" and then it says that "your internet connection appears to be working correctly" - I have to do this every time to 'wake-up' the internet!
    I just wondered if it was something that I have to keep doing or if it's a problem which can be resolved.
    Thank you!

  • Accessing Server when only connected via Internet Sharing

    Currently, I don't have the ability to directly connect my Mac Pro which I use as a Server to the router as I have no direct access to it via cable and it does not have an Airport card.
    However, I can access the internet on it if I use internet sharing on my iMac which is connected via Gigabit Ethernet to the Mac Pro at all times.
    In order to use any of the services such as Time Machine from another machine, I always need to connect it directly by cable. This leaves me wondering if there is a way to tunnel the Mac Pro through the iMac so it is accessible via Wifi? Is there a setting on either Machine I have to activate / set to make this work?
    It is only thought to be a temporary solution until I move to a new flat where it will be directly connected to an Airport Extreme.
    Thanks for your help!

    Seems that the issue is something to do with connecting via WPA2. When I set Internet Sharing to use WEP (by option-clicking the security menu), I'm then able to see the network shares and the printer.

  • Re-connecting when initial connect fails?

    I'm trying to attempt to re-connect when the server isn't available, the idea being that I schedule a timer that expires in 5s. When it expires I re-connect.
    So essentially I have a SocketChannel. I do (pseudo-code):
    client.register(selector)
    chan.connect(address)
    if (isSelectable())
    client.finishConnect();
    if IOException
    client.close();
    client.open(address);
    client.connect();
    An exception occurs - connection refused - during the open() call.
    I thought my basic understanding was correct, but apparently I'm wrong. Am I right in thinking that I can attempt to re-open the connection like this?
    Thanks

    is it correct to set SocketChannel client = null; and client = SocketChannel.open(); again?

  • Can't find server when WiFi connected

    I have had several incidences where my ipod says I'm connected but Safari says it cant' find the server.
    I remember someone saying something about a DNS or something but don't know what to do when this happens.
    Can someone tell me step by step what to do when this happens?
    Thanks!

    Hey peeweedyer,
    A DNS issue is when the device has a valid IP address and can browse to websites via IP address but not name.
    What is the iPod touches IP address? Goto Settings> Wi-Fi> tap the blue (>) to the right of your network.
    If the iPod has a 169.254.x.x IP address, there may be another issue.

  • How do I recover files when the install fails due to a damaged HD

    While updating to Mavericks for Mountain Lion, the install failed. It stated that the hard drive was damaged. I ran disk utilities and the option to repair is not avalible. Prior to the install there was not a problem. I unfortantly do not have a back up to restore from.  Do any of you fine Apple supporters have any suggestions?

    Emergency recovery of your data on your internal drive/SSD.
    Can you boot in normal or Safe Boot mode (Boot Command-R)?
    If so do so and run a Time Machine backup.
    If you can’t run Time Machine, proceed below.
              You will need a blank disk or a disk that you are willing to erase (a lose the data on it).
              If you do not have one it is time to purchase one larger than your internal drive/SSD.
              At this point your goal is to recover as much data as you can onto an external disk.
              First, disconnect all unneeded peripheral equipment, including external drives.
              (Use an external wired keyboard and mouse if necessary.)
    A)          Try to boot in normal mode (just press the power key).
              If that won't work try to boot in Safe Mode.
                        • Press the power button and as you hear the bong, then hold down the Shift key.
              If it does not work either way jump to B.
              If it booted, from the Finder > Go > Utilities > Disk Utility, jump to C
                (formatting the emergency drive) and come back to here.
              Go > Computer.
              Double click on the system disk and then on the Users folder.
              Drag your named user folder to to the recovery disk.
              If that does not work double click on the named user folder
            and try dragging each folder individually to the recovery disk.
              Repeat for other users if there are any (logging into their accounts or an admin account).
              If this works you have recovered your personal data.
    B)          Boot the recovery partition.
              • Press the power button and as you hear the bong, then hold down the Command and R keys.
               If that won't work jump to E.
              Once booted, click on Disk Utility.
    C)          To format (and erase) the destination recovery disk:
              Plug in the drive you are about to erase.
              Select the volume that is NOT your system disk.
              Click on Partition.
              Pull down under Partition Layout to 1 Partition.
              Click on Options…
              Select GUID Partition Table.
              Name: Emergency Backup
              Format: Select Mac OS Extended (journaled)
              Click Apply.
              Click Partition.
    D)          Drag and drop the named system disk to Source:
              Drag an drop Emergency Backup to Destination:
              (Do not reverse these.)
              Click Restore (the lower Restore button).
    E)          Seek expert help to test/replace the internal disk.
              If it is an SSD then trash it.  DiskWarrior recovery from damaged SSDs is futile.
              Save the ailing disk.  You might be able to recover data on it
              buy placing it in an external enclosure and mounting it from a healthy machine
              then using the Finder and/or DiskWarrior.
              http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/
    F) Once your system is healthy again be sure to maintain two reasonably current backups.

  • What should be done when client.connect() failed?

    Hi guys,
    I am using JCO to connect backend System. If client.connect() is called and for certain reason failed, what should I do to roll back the action so that the system keeps normal. I think client.disconnect is not the solution, because connect is not successful. I encountered this problem, and my portal is totally down, what should I do to avoid this situaltion?
    My code is
    try{
              client.connect();
    catch (JCO.Exception e){
    //WHAT SHOULD BE DONE HERE?
         System.exit(1);
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Liying

    Hi,
    Can you try this code.
    class JCOConnector {
    private JCO.Client mConnection = null;
      // loginParams will settings for connection
      public static boolean connect(Properties loginParams) {
      boolean returnCode = false;
              try {
                   mConnection = JCO.createClient(loginParams);                              
                   long timeBeforeConnecting = System.currentTimeMillis();
                   mConnection.connect();
                   long timeAfterConnection = System.currentTimeMillis();                              
                   returnCode = true;
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   try {
                        disconnect();
                   } catch (Exception e2) {
                   throw new RuntimeException(e);
              return returnCode;
          * To Disconnect from the middleware.
         public static boolean disconnect() {
              boolean returnCode = false;
              if (mConnection != null) { // if connection exists
                   try {
                        mConnection.disconnect();     // disconnect from the middleware
                        returnCode = true;
                   }catch (Exception e2) {
                   }finally {

  • Urgent: server-to-VIP connection fails

    VIP: 10.1.1.176
    real IP1: 192.168.1.186
    real IP2: 192.168.1.196
    server 192.168.1.188 is unable to communicate with 10.1.1.176:80 even though it is able to communicate with 192.168.1.186:80 and 192.168.1.196:80
    here's my source-group config. what am I missing?
    source-group ABC-Prod
    vip adddress 10.1.1.176
    add service ABC-serv-1
    add service ABC-serv-2
    portmap number-of-ports 2048
    portmap base-port 61248
    active
    what am I missing? this config worked until about 2 weeks ago. the only change I recall that happened since then was configuring an additional source group (which I've since deleted).

    I opened a TAC case and we resolved this. the solution is simply in the group config, use "add dest servic" instead of "add service".

  • Server "Connection Failed" message on Classic startup

    I recently updated from OS 10.2.8 to 10.4.3. Everything made the conversion smoothly except that whenenver I now startup Classic, I get this message in a dialog box:
    Connection Failed: The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again.
    I click the "OK" button, and then it repeats the process exactly 3 more times and Classic starts and runs fine. This is consistent and never varies.
    I'm running on a LAN (with a bunch of Windows machines), which I need to affirmatively log on to (shared printers excepted). It seems like Classic is trying to automatically log on to some network, something it hadn't done under 10.2.8. I checked the system preferences for both Classic and Networking but can't find anything which seems relevant. I'll note that under Classic System Prefs. it states (under "Start/Stop") that it's using the system folder on my computer and not looking elsewhere.
    How can I stop the nuisance?
    Thanks

    dbahr,
    Check the Servers folder in the OS9 System Folder for any shortcuts (or anything) relating to disks on other Macs that may have been selected to mount at start-up.
    If it's not this, I think it may be some older software performing a version check over the internet at start-up using an extension. Except the host it's trying to connect to is no longer valid, or OSX 10.4's firewall or internet settings are preventing the connection.
    A prime candidate might be the Stuffit Expander app. On my mac it would hang for 60 seconds before carrying on, the www.alladinsys.com host no longer exists, replaced by www.allumesys.com. Perhaps you should trim the set of extensions / control panels in OS9 when running under Classic.
    But it could be anything that is trying some LAN or internet access at startup, maybe even the OS9 Software Update CP/ext.
    When does it spit out these messages EXACTLY ? During the extension load ? At startup completion ? Or are you starting up OS9 by starting a Classic app ? Which one ?

    Phil,
    You nailed it. Thank you!
    I moved the Sherlock first and as I dragged it to the trash, as if it were Freddie Kruger refusing to die, it triggered the "Connection Failed" message riff. However, when I rebooted Classic, I saw that removing it alone did not eliminate the problem. So, I next removed all non-System generated (i.e., the one's in created for my apps) aliases. That did it.
    I see now that the aliases that seemed to be causing the problem related to programs that I had recently moved from the startup HD to a second internal HD that I'd just installed. The "System generated" aliases all connected to programs that remained where they've always been, on the startup HD. What is confusing me is that there is no "network" that needed to be used for the non-System aliases to reach the moved programs and they're not on another "server," so don't see why that was the message I got. Additionally, normally, when an alias loses it's link to the originating program, I just get a message stating that it can't find that program. If I'd gotten the same message this time, it would have been much easier to track the problem.
    Thanks for your great tip.

    If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.
