RMAN settings in OEM not accepting changed password

Database 10.2.0.3.0, 32 and 64 bit versions.
OSes: Windows 2003 R2 Standard Edition
The previous DBA had the same password for the sys, system, and rman accounts. The RMAN backups are scheduled through the OEM's Backup/Recovery Schedule Backup. I finally changed the passwords so that sys, system, and rman are now different. I changed the rman password to be the same as in the Oracle rman account in the Windows local user accounts and made sure that the rman account is in the ora_dba account and that batch jobs are permitted. Note that these scheduled jobs were working just fine so I suspect the windows accounts are correctly configured. The rman account I'm using is the rman account used in a repository. This is the only Oracle rman account among all the databases that I backup.
I attempted to schedule a job to run immediately using the new password in the Host Credentials and I check the box for 'Save as Preferred Credential' but at the end of the run I get the error: RMAN-04004: error from recovery catalog database: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
I'm logged into the OEM with the same exact system account log in as I would use from the rman command line target connection.
The Recovery Catalog Settings will not accept this new password. Instead I get the error message:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
After so many attempts the error message will say the account is locked and it is locked in the repository so it appears to be attempting validation against the correct location.
I prefer using the OEM over the Windows Task Scheduler - any ideas on what to do?

Edited by: pointreyes on Feb 4, 2010 8:39 AM - note that I did not change all the passwords at the same time. The sys and system passwords were changed last week and the backups continued to work. Only after the RMAN password was changed did the backups fail.

Only after the RMAN password was changed did the backups fail.This is exactly why I don't schedule my rman backups in OEM. I never was able to figure out what was going on under the covers, but if I have to recreate something every time I change the password, then I'm looking for a different approach. Since I work in Unix, create shell scripts to execute my rman backups, and schedule them with cron. If on windows, I'd take the same approach .. the one you prefer not to use. OEM is a great tool, but it's not the perfect solution for every problem.Actually this is not really an OEM problem. I discovered this when I changed the rman catalog schema owner password and then attempted to backup the system through a remote job on another server. I am surprised if you changed your rman catalog schema owner that you have not ran into this yourself. Unless you are doing backups from a centralzied server that the rman catalog resides on.
You come across all kinds of interesting things no matter which tool us use. For example we are to log onto the system using our personal accounts and then sudo to Oracle....guess what happened when the Oracle users password expired...
Now that was a fun day....other DBA..."Backups are not working.."....Me..."Yes they are just fine when I execute them.".....other DBA.."Well cron jobs do not work."....Me..."Anyone log in recently with Oracle user??"
Problem was that the Oracle user password had expired and was needing to be changed.....cronjobs don't like it when that happens.

  • HT202274 Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep i

    Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep it as my primary.

    To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account.  To do this, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    I no longer have a flash player because the update process will not accept my password even after I changed my password.

    We are all alive here, but not working for Adobe. Installing Flash Player isn't asking for your Adobe password.
    When you install or update most software you will be asked for your own computer's administrator password. This is the one you chose when you first switched on your machine, and nobody can tell you what it is.

  • Blackberry Classic Will Not Accept Correct Password

    My Blackberry Classic would not accept my password. The same password I have been using for months. It said it would wipe the data after 8 tries and that I was on my 5th try. However, no matter how many times I inputted my password, it stayed at 5 tries. I tried several attempts at cycling power, completing a back-up and restore, I tried the resetting the password from Blackberry protect website and all with no avail. I even did an OS upgrade with no luck! Ultimately, I had to wipe the phone and start over with a restore. I felt lucky I was able to back up the device prior to wiping it.
    I would hope blackberry would see this as a critical issue and get a patch out to address it.  Major pain in the butt!

    Hi there,
    Not sure if this will help you however I had similar issues recently connecting my iBook G3 Clamshell to my wireless network. I ended up changing the settings on my router from 802.11 b/g/n to 802.11 b/g & it connects perfectly (via WPA) now.
    Good luck.

  • For about 2 weeks I have been unable to leave feedback on ebay. Firefox brings up login page but will not accept password. I am having the same problem with my yahoo email. It will not accept my passwords, so I have to use IE to login to these accounts.

    On yahoo email, it accepted my login id, but not password. This started on one account about two weeks ago. Today when I tried to login to another yahoo email, which worked yesterday, but it would not accept my password on this account.
    I bought some items on ebay and wanted to leave feedback. When I clicked on the leave feedback button a sign in window appeared, this should not have happened, when I tried to sign in, it would not accept my password. I called ebay and was told they have had many complaints from customers using firefox when trying to leave feedback. The help desk suggested I try with Internet Explorer, I did, and it worked perfectly.
    I have been using firefox for a long time and really do not want to go back to IE, but when I cannot sign into my accounts, I can't, so I will have to use IE.
    As far as I know, no new programs have been installed on this computer.

  • ITunes store does not accept my Password anymore.

    ITunes store does not accept my Password anymore.

    I'm still having the same problem ... 6 months after your original post!  I've just had to reset my pw 2 days in a row, and I've been through so many resets over the past 6 months that I'm running out of ideas for passwords that I'll have a reasonable chance of remembering.  But I also always make a careful note of my important passwords, and after the 1st "password error" message, I check my list and enter the password very slowly and carefully.  So, I think I'm pretty safe in claiming that neither entering the wrong password nor making a typo is the problem!
    Oddly, though, I could usually cancel the password-reset process, then go right to the the iTunes Store, where my password would work fine, allowing me to open and view all my account details.
    Several months ago, I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with Tech Support trying to get this fixed. He was great and we thought he'd found the problem with my account.  (When I originally set up my iTunes account 6 years ago, I used a different email address than I used when I set up my new Mac last year, and that seemed to be causing some sort of conflict within my account.  Hard to imagine someone might change email addresses sometime over a 6-year period, right?  But apparently, the software designers didn't cover that possibility with one of their recent updates of the master system for customers' accounts -- that's the Tech Rep's surmise, not mine.)
    Everything seemed to work fine for a few weeks, but then the problem started occurring again ... over and over and over ...
