cmomd andtrusted mode

[D Bridges]

I just enabled trusted mode on both nodes in my 2 node cluster (tsconvert)

Now I cannot use sgmgr either remotely from a PC or from the server itself.

The packages are fine, up and running, the passwords in the sgmgr connect dialog have been changed.

cmomd is reporting the following:

Feb 18 18:52:10:[959]:INFO:authenprovider:userpassword:User-Password Authentication failed for root

I am sure that the password is correct, I have retyped it a few dozen times and can successfully start a session with the new password.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Your error message appears in several threads, though not exactly.

This seems to be a pam problem.

Take a look at these threads and you might get lucky.

Change the COM server's password to 8 characters or less and see if that helps.

This fixed it:

/usr/lbin/modprdef -m \
usrpick=YES,\
rstrpw=YES,\
nullpw=NO,\
syspnpw=NO,\
syschpw=NO,\
sysltpw=NO,\
bootpw=NO,\
mintm=0,\
lftm=120,\
exptm=30,\
expwarn=10,\
umaxlntr=5,\
tmaxlntr=3,\
lntmout=30,\
maxpwln=9

/usr/lbin/modprpw -V

Thanks!

Seems the fix was to make the password no longer than 9 characters... or did I miss the point?

Hi Stephen,

Well, it is probably me that missed the point. I'm a bit new to the SG HPs, and was confused by your response.

I have asked our HP sys admin here and searched on COM server on the hp site with no luck.

The settings I listed were developed for a set of customer requirements. When I applied them the problem went away, but I am not really sure which of the settings fixed it.

I originally ran into the problem by putting an rp7410 into trusted mode and leaving system defaults as is. After applying the password database settings above the problem was resolved.

Hi,

Nothing to do with your question.
