Failed to connect to DataStage server

[vipson]

After installing the DataStage server, I was able to login as "dsadm". Today I am trying to login and it is not working.

I am getting following error:

Failed to connect to DataStage server: <SERVER name>, project: UV
(User name and/or password incorrect (80011))

When I select the Domain, put the ID as dsadm, and put the password, it gives me the DataStage Server...but as soon as I hit OK button I am getting this error.

can you login to your server with that userid/password combination using TELNET or whatever tool you prefer (i.e. putty)?

[vipson]

On UNIX using putty, I can login as "dsadm".

By the way I am using Information Server Directory(use the Information Server internal directory) - OS authentication for DataStage users getting authenticated. I am not using LDAP...Thought, you may need to know.

[ArndW]

Do you have other users defined who you can check access to DataStage with? Also, have you gone into iis admin to see if the security settings and roles are unchanged from yesterday's settings?

[vipson]

Well...Unfortunately I did not define any other users..One user was defined yesterday and he is getting the same error.
I can login as dsadm on Information Server Console..

Nothing that I recall that was changed...

[ArndW]

If the UNIX login is working but the DataStage one isn't I would look and check all of the IIS settings as that is the likely source of the problem.

Case Solved.

I had IBM on line, and at the same time my co-worker was looking at what he did yesterday....

It came down to the same thing:
On the domain management => datastage credentials:
My co-worker had checked "Information Server Directory Use the Information Server internal directory "...It must be unchecked...As soon as it was unchecked things are running fine.

IBM said, that if you have this options checked, you must have the DS users actual OS users....

Hopefully this will help others...

On the domain management => datastage credentials:
My co-worker had checked "Information Server Directory Use the Information Server internal directory "...It must be unchecked...As soon as it was unchecked things are running fine.

I am having the same problem, but cant find this checkbox

Where is it?
Thanks a lot

You might have to make the webspher user registry as active

Found it, was under the 'Open Configuration' link
As I was afraid, it's unchecked, so I did not help to solve my problem

Thanks anyway
