No, it's not different, Oracle TDP works the same on Linux and AIX.  The only 
TDP I'm not sure of is the Windows version, but if I remember correctly it 
doesn't reset the password either.

And is Oracle TDP on Linux different than on AIX?  Does password generate on 
linux?

For the Oracle TDP on AIX you have to set the passwordaccess option to prompt, 
as the TDP will NOT update the password.  The best option here is to set the 
password expiration to 0 on both the node, and the admin owner (if you have it) 
of the node.  

However, what Daniel said is correct unless you run "update node server-oracle 
passexp=0" AND "update admin server-oracle passexp=0", then it will just keep 
on using the same password.

Hi David

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the nodes password has expired, 
passwordaccess generate will not set a new password for the client. You'll have 
to set a new password for the node, and then use tdpoconf to update the stored 
password on the client machine.

Ärende: TSM for DB password expiration

Has anyone had problems with TSM for DB (Oracle), aka TDPO, and password
expiration?

We are running TSM for DB v5.5.1.0 with TSM api 6.2.2.0 on AIX 5.3 to a
TSM server at 6.2.2.0 also on AIX 5.3. We are running with password
generate.  Last night we got two ANR0425W password has expired messages
for node DBFINTEST. I assume I got two messages because the rman command
is using two channels, thus two concurrent TSM sessions.  At that point
the password should have been set to something new and life should go
on.  Instead, subsequent sessions for that node got the "ANS0282E
Password file is not available.", ie password is incorrect, message.

Any thoughts on what might be going wrong?
