Hello all,
I am in the process of updating some RHEL SP instances from version 8.1.9.2 to version 8.1.11. This is usually a very straightforward process as I am sure you know, but during the update I am being asked for the instance password. This didn't happen when I updated these systems to v8.1.9.2, but since the v8.1.9.2 update we were required to change our O/S passwords from 8 to 15 characters (including the instance user's password). I'm not sure if this plays into the problem or not, but I suspect it has something to do with this issue.
So I have updated the instance user's password to a 15 character password, and I can verify that password works because I am able to log onto the Linux server normally. However, when I am prompted for the instance password during the update, I enter the password but the update doesn't like it or doesn't recognize it and I am stuck right here at this point. I have to ctrl-c out of the install to do anything.
This feels like a security or permissions problem. Has anyone bumped into this issue before, or perhaps can lend me some insight on where to look for the problem?
Sincere thanks,
C.J.
