Getting exception PASSWORD_NOT_ALLOWED during sapinstall

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am now at step 31 of 36 "Restarting Instance";

I am getting an error stating "PASSWORD_NOT_ALLOWED".

When I reset the DDIC password to default of 19920706 and restart sapinst I receive the previous error of "Password Not Allowed".  Then when I change the password for DDIC to something other than the default and restart sapinst I receive the error stating "Unable to Open RFC Connection ".  

I would appreciate any suggestions?

Thanks & Best Regards,

Michael

hi Michael,

You need to use that password which you used during installation and password

PASSWORD_NOT_ALLOWED

put a Password which consist a character plus 1 number and 1 special character.

For the Special character, make sure that you are not using the character which is SAP can't accept.

Note 628472 - Password rule: No '!' as first character of password

Unable to Open RFC Connection

Please following thread.

Hi Jamil,

I think this error occured because  I reset the password of DDIC as same as I used the password of during installaton.

So when I changed it to 19920706, the installer need change it back to the password of during installation, but accually I have reset the same password one time, so the password rule won't allowed the same password appears two times.

Now I want to skip or ignore the error of this step, how can I skip it ?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Have you tried to reset the DDIC password again to Master password (give during installation). stop the sapinst, kill the process at OS level and restart the installation process by choosing continue with old option.

hi Michael,

You just try to login on SAP with old and new password, If you succeeded then OK and If you are not then you need to run following command to reset the password.

SQL> delete from sapsr3.usr02 where bname='SAP*' and mandt='000';

then try with default password and let me know.

Hi Karthik,

If I reset the DDIC password again to Master password, it will appear the error 'Unable to open RFC connection'.

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

Perform the following steps.

1) Set the profile parameter rdisp/login_no_sapstart =0 in the instance profile

2) Take SAP restart

3) Delete SAP* from client 000 using the sql command

     delete from <schema>.usr02 where mandt='000' and bname='SAP*'.

4) Login with SAP* and password as pass

5) Reset the password of DDIC.

6) Login with DDIC user in client 000.

7) Retry the failed installation step. It should pass now.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kori,

Thanks for your advising, the issue was resolved now.

But it's very strange that the account 'SAP*' doesn't exist in SAP system after I delete it, and then I could logon to SAP with user 'DDIC' and the master password of during SAPInst.

Thanks,

Michael

Hello,

This installation phase needs to test RFC logon to clients 000 and 001.

Can you logon with both DDIC and SAP* also in client 001?

You must stablish the definitive

password also in client 001. It is not valid if the password is

temporal. Please, logon in 001 with sap* and change the password for

DDIC to the suitable one, and let it as "definitive".
