Re: Registering client for Informix data protection setup

Richard,

I've faced this kind of problem before, and the only way I found getting the 
password validated was to delete the (already) stored passwords from the 
client. This can be made by deleting all files located under /etc/security/adsm.
Then you'll get to reinitialize them, whether using tdpipswd utility, or 
issuing a "dmc q fi" command, which will ask you for your node_name and your 
password.
Hope this helped !
Cheers.

Arnaud

Subject: Registering client for Informix data protection setup

Hi,

I'm trying to setup the Informix Data Protection client on an AIX 5.1 64-bit 
machine. I'm following the Data Protection for Informix Guide and I'm trying to 
register the client with the server but I keep getting the following :

root:stxqa> tdpipswd

***************************************************************
*       TDP for Informix Backup                               *
* Password file initialization program                        *
*>> this must be run by the ROOT user if updating the value <<*
***************************************************************
Enter your current password:
Enter your new password:
Enter your new password again:
*** Password change failed: ANS1025E (RC137)  Session rejected:
Authentication failure

/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/informix/bin64
root:stxqa>

I've setup another node called stxqa-tdp for the Informix client ( this client 
also has a node named stxqa which is currently being used for the daily data 
backups ). Any ideas ? I've checked the dsierror.log but it just has the same 
session authentication message . Any help would be appreciated.

Rich
