Use of host credentials.

Hi,
Please can u educate me on the above named subject.Anytime i want to perform an action that requires the use of host credentials e.g.performing recovery or importing data,it brings out an unspecified error thereafter stopping the enterprise manager from working. Thanks.

Hi,
Any time you need to perform an operation over the OS, the OEM will request the Host Credentials (OS Username and password/e.g. user: Oracle, Password: xxxxx) to execute your request because when you connected to the web console you only enter the DB Username and password not the OS ones. That mean the OEM don't have the information necessary to connect to the OS to write something to disk, or execute something over the OS (Backup, recover,etc).
If you are using linux/windows the hostname credentials should be the user who has installed the oracle 10g database software, if Windosw the user you are using need to be member of the ora_dba group and have Local Security privilege 'Log on as a batch job'.
What you need to do is go to start----> Programs----> admin tools----> Local security policy --->local policies ---> user rights assignments
In the list to your right, look for 'Log on as a batch job', double click and add the same OS local user you using to access OEM web to the group.I hope this answer your question. You can always say to the OEM to save your OS username and password, this way you are not going to be asked all the time.

  • Host credentials  using Sudo su - oracle - linux

    Hi All:
    I recently installed GC 10.2.0.4 in linux environment. All our db servers are linux. Acces to the oracle user on these database servers is restricted in that DBAs have to login as themselves and sudo into oracle using their own password
    'sudo su - oracle'
    there is no way we can login/ssh into these servers as 'oracle'.
    as we know most of the functionality, including
    *cloning a database/oracle home
    *start/sto listener, database
    *run a sql script ....and many more require that we provide the Host credentials  i.e oracle userid/password. How do I accomplish that?  When I provided my own userid which is in 'dba' group , it did not work.
    In the setup->preferred credentials page for the hosts there is run as column which can be used to provide my userid and ask it to run as oracle. But this only works when I set at the default level for all hosts ,
    when I try to do the same for each host.. it does not allow me to do that .. the 'run as' feild is locked .... any ideas as to how I can fix this ?
    also , a lot of places it does not even care for the preferred credentials it again asks for host userid and apssword ... and looks like its willing to take no less than the 'owner' who installed the product ...namely 'Oracle'
    please help....

    Hi , I have done the sam (NB GC 10.2.0.4)
    1) installed EMCLI client as:-
    java -jar emclikit.jar client -install_dir=/usr/philw/em/
    2) Set-up emcli to post to our OMS as:-
    emcli setup -url="http://xxx.xxx.lan:xxxx/em" -username=xxxxx
    (where xxx.xxx.lan:xxxx/em is out hosytname:port
    and -username = the owner of oms)
    3) The created priv delegation setting as:-
    emcli create_privilege_delegation_setting -setting_name=ELBRUS_Setting
    -setting_type=SUDO -settings="SETTINGS:/usr/bin/sudo –S –u %RUNAS%
    %command%"
    4) Then applied to target
    emcli apply_privilege_delegation_setting -setting_name=ELBRUS_Setting -target_type=host
    -target_names="targethostname"
    give the message Apply Sudo/Powerbroker Settings operation successfully submitted.
    Now I want to via Oracle Grid Control to be able to perform a Backup as me (philwilliams) but doing a sudo to the oracle
    account.
    [1] Sudo works on the target host
    i.e which sudo
    /usr/bin/sudo This matches the path in the create privs command
    [2] I can on the host so a sudo to oracle OK
    [3] However when in GC I cannot select the credntial so do as run as?
    I have RTFM ;-) but think I am missing something obvious ? Any Ideas

    Any idea ? Thanks for your help

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Firstly check that, your user is using domain\username to enter the credential in the dialog box.
    Now for a try, you can edit .rdp file with notepad and just place “enablecredsspsupport:i:0” line in it, save it an launch to check whether you are facing same issue.
    As you are using windows 7 then upgrade to RDP 8.1. Also as you have already enter the FQDN name of server under “Allow delegating default credentials”. For a try please enable and configure for all the remaining settings as follow and check the result.
    Start / Run / gpedit.msc / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / System / Credentials Delegation, and make sure you have the following four options enabled and configured:
    Allow Delegating Default Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication
    Allow Delegating Default Credentials
    Allow Delegating Saved Credentials
    Allow Delegating Saved Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication
    Finally, open a command prompt and use “gpupdate /force” command to apply the policy directly.
    More information:
    Remote desktop credentials did not work
    Hope it helps!

  • Host credentials problem in Vista Basic

    Dear All,
    I am using Vista basic OS. I have installed Oracle 10g. I have to use import functionality to import the data. In order to use that in enterprise manager,It asks to enter Host credentials. I tried with DBA credentials, It gives invalid password error. I also tried to add ora_dba group,but unfortunately I cann't add in vista basic as it doesn't support adding Local security group snapin. So please help me how and where to add host credential in order to access import functionality in enterprise manager.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sangamesh

    Helllo,
    As you already know Vista basic and home premium not supported but you can give a try by going to
    First create a user with a password (hope you can do this vista basic)
    control panel --> adminstrative tools--> look for local security policy (if it exists in vista basic) --> local policies and search for user assignments--> log on as a batch job , add your new user and apply changes. Then use this new user as host credentials.
    Regards

  • Host Credentials problem

    I am trying to 'Export to Export file' some individual schemas. I will take this information to a test/development server and import it there to work on.
    When prompted for the Host Credentials I have problems. I am logged on as the Administrator of the domain and I am using these same credentials here only I get one of 2 different error messages.
    1) When I use the credentials of
    Username: Administrator
    Password: admin_password
    I get
    -- Examine and correct the following errors, then retry the operation:
    Error - ERROR: Failed to create command process
    2) When I use the credentials of
    Username: DOMAIN/Administrator
    Password: admin_password
    I get
    -- Examine and correct the following errors, then retry the operation:
    Error - ERROR: Wrong password for user
    This is on Windows 2003 server.
    Any suggestions would be apprecitated.

    Ok. Could you check if the DBConsole Service is started as a Domain User or as a Local User.
    My guess is that yoiu are facing the same problem as this thread. Check the solution to it. If it is not the same, then let me know.

  • Enterprise Manager Host Credentials Problem on Windows Vista

    I have similar problem as discribed here before, but the difference is, that I am using Windows Vista and I have tried "Log as a batch job" and "Log as a service" privilleges. It does not help. I have Oracle Personal Edition 10.2.0.3 on Windows Vista. May there be some other security issues on Vista? The error message is not "Wrong password for user" but simply "Error" with no explanation. In addition to that, windows displayes error window which says "Oracle Enterprise Manager executable has stopped working" and there comes another window with detiled information like that:

  • "Perform whole database Recovery" Host Credentials problem

    Hello,
    I have minimal knowledge of the Oracle database system but currently I need to recover a Oracle 10G database on a Windows Server 2003 Standard edition.
    Im trying to use the Oracle Enterprise Manager. Im logged into the instance with SYS as SYSDBA. On the Perform Recovery page there are fields for "Host Credentials" Could someone explain to me what credentials EM is asking for. Whatever account I try to use EM gives a Validation Error stating
    Error - Connection to host as user test failed: ERROR: Wrong password for user
    Ive tried both local and Active Directory accounts that have full admin rights on the Host machine. With the AD account I tried using just the user name and allso domain\username. The page asks for "To perform recovery, supply operating system login credentials to access the target database." which sounds like the account has to have both access to the host and the database. Does that mean I have to create an external account in the instance? I even tried that but im not sure I configured it properly.

    Well found the solution. Atleast to this problem. Had to give the account "Log on as batch job" rights under Local Policy -> User Rights Assignment

  • Host Credentials

    I'm trying to get into my EOM for the first time. Request for host credentials is needed, I have my HOST name but not the password. Also I am getting a message about the enterprise manager not being able to connect to the database instance.. what is this? and how do i correct it?

    Host credentials in EM is an OS username and password that can connect to the host.
    Can you connect to the database using SQL*Plus? If so, check the account status of the DBSNMP user to verify it is not locked. Also verify the password. A locked DBSNMP account or incorrect password are common reasons why EM cannot connect to the database instance.

  • Dbconsole and host credentials

    Hi,
    I am running oracle 11gR2 on win server 2008.
    I have been using dbconsole to schedule a regular export job (logged in as system user) every 2 days. Its been working fine until yesterday when i changed the password for my active directory username (due to which i had to change the password for the same database host credentials)
    I have set the preferred credentials in the preferences tab to the new host credentials. yet the export job fails with invalid username/password.
    And also, when i click on the failed job and try to edit , it says this job does not require any credentials. Something is wrong..cant figure out what.
    Thanks for your assistance.

    yet the export job fails with invalid username/password.
    I think the passwords are are fine.Based upon top line above, it appears Oracle disagrees with you & I believe better reports reality than you do.
    Besides, you don't need to convince me of anything, only Oracle that all is OK.

    KB 1455254 - After installation of SAP integration kit SP2 CMS crashes upon login with secSAPR3 users. I ran into this issue because the customer had not installed the proper SAP client on the BOE server(s) rather just places some dll instead. SP2 requires an SAP client installed and that should resolve the CMS crashing. Grab the newest version from the SMP portal.
    I edited in the KB, contrary to other beliefs the product is tested with the SAP client installed post SP2. If you do not want to install the client and choose to install individual files (like in the KB) this can be considered an unsupported environment and may cause your CMS to crash.

  • Invalid Windows host credentials

    I am running 10g at home using a free downloaded copy for Windows. Every time I enter my host credentials (for example, when doing backups) in Enterprise Manager, I get an invalid username/password error. This happens even with several installs. Is this because I am using an unlicensed copy? Or what could be the problem? thanks.

  • Unknown cluster host credentials

    Hi,
    I have a fresh install of 11gR2 clusterware and RAC database on linux x86-64 (two nodes). Everything looks pretty fine so far.
    When using database control, there are, under cluster -> Adminstration links to Server Pools, Resources and Resource Types.
    When clicking on those entries, database control asks for "Cluster Host Credentials". I have no idea which account to use. I've tried all the accounts which came across during installation, but none of these work.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks, Hannes

    Rob,
    thanks for your reply. I already tried the user who installed the clusterware. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Root is not the installation user.
