Unable to login to iManager 2.7.2 with Tree Admin userid after changing admin password
Richard Seepaul
After changing the Tree Admin password I find myself unable to login to
iManager (Hosted on Server in Tree) with the admin userid.
The error message that iManager spits is: +++++++++++++
(Error -669) An invalid password was used, authentication failed, one
server tried to synchronize with another one but the target server's
database was locked, or a problem exists with the remote ID or public key.
++++++++++++++++++++++
SDI Diag shows no errors but I am only able to use SDI DIag as an admin
equivalent user I can not login with the admin userid fron SDI Diag
I am also unable to login with the admin userID from DSRepair
I am able to login to iManager with other admin equivalent accounts
which do have password policy applied.
There is no password policy applied against the admin userid
iMonitor shows no synch errors
Any IDEAS ?
eDir 8.8SP5 NW 6.5 SP8 iManager 2.7.2

Tried other ways of accessing the tree? ndslogin? ConsoleOne? LDAP?
Hit multiple replicas to see if it is a synchronization problem? Does the
old password work? Anything in trace?
Good luck.

If the password change is made from a wkstn with a slightly older
version of the Novell Client 4.91 SP5 vs the one that is most current
4.91 SP5 with all public domain post SP5 patches, then the issue arises.
A password change to the admin id from a workstation with the older
client resolves the issue or prevents its occurrence.
I have confirmed this behaviour in two trees.
When I figure out exactly what the client differences are I will post.

I've seen this many times when NMAS was not installed/enabled on one
machine but was on the other. The default is to have it both installed
and enabled, but sometimes that is changed during/after the install. Both
installation and enabling must be done (see the NMAS client via Add/Remove
programs I believe, and see enabled or not via the red 'N', Advanced Login
settings, NMAS authentication, or something like that).
Good luck.
