DSXchange

So your getting the "Invalid Userid and password" error now? That clearly says it all. Make sure your username and password is valid

Check your uvconfig file in the DSEngine directory. If you see "AUTHENTICATION 1" is populated in the file, then your Unix user authentication is done using Pluggable Authenication Module (PAM).

The entry is AUTHENTICATION 1 in the uvconfig file. Is it to be changed?

I am able stop and start the server wiith the following commands. (it asks for dsadm password)
$DSHOME/bin/uv -admin -stop
$DSHOME/bin/uv -admin -start

I don't think it should ask you for password. Try to start the engine while loged in as root. We have similar problems as you (something missconfigured on our site), and whenever we restart the engine as dsadm, clients won't connect. We think of reinstalling DataStage some of these days... But, before you do that, try root.

I bet you didn't do a root install. Make sure UV is a setuid to root, as well as dssh, dslictool, DBsetup, dslockd, and dstskup
