Re: Netware Client Password failure

Hello Jim,

If you have any weird punctuation in your pw ... try change the pw to
exclude any punctuation ... had a problem here where removing a '.' in
the pw fixed our problem.

Good luck, Peter

Stormy,

Have you tried deleting the existing .pwd files in the BA directory then
running a manual and re-entering the info? If so, then I would recommend
backing off to a 4.1 rev of the client. Also,
as with any Netware problem, make sure you have the latest TSA nlms,
tsa5up7 last time I checked.

Are you getting prompted for the Novell username and pwd, or the TSM
one? I'm having a problem on our Netware cluster nodes that's similar,
scheduled backups run for a couple of nights and
then fail because of a prompt for the TSM userid and pwd. This seems to
be a problem since I upgraded our server from 3.1.x to 4.1.4. Very
frustrating.
