Here is what we have determined as requirements to be able to logon using the DataStage clients. This is for non Admin ids. This applies to DS 7.5 and 7.5.1.
1. The group id must have an entry in the /etc/group file.
2. The userid must have an entry in the /etc/passwd file.
3. The group id# must be in the /etc/passwd file for the id. It may suffice to list the user id in the group entry in the /etc/group file. All I know is that the /etc/passwd entry for our id did not have a group id# in it we could not logon. Kept getting the (39202) error at logon.
4. The passwd in the /etc/passwd file must match the password in Keon. They should not get out of sync unless someone copies the entry from another server with a diff password. Don't ask me how I know.
From what I understand, DataStage reads the /etc/passwd file and the /etc/group file. Not sure of everything it does, but I do know that it gets the password in the /etc/passwd file and uses that to logon to the server. If the Keon password and the entry in the /etc/passwd file do not match, you will never be able to logon.
I posted this because I could not find this information anywhere. I hope it helps someone. Posting this will help me to remember.
