problems with master password during installation

[mathias_dieckhoff]

Hi,

i'm installing 64bit SAP Solution Manager 4.0 SR3 on Windows/oracle.

While setting the master password in sapinstgui i'm getting an input error.

The master password you entered is not valid.

<br>SOLUTION: The master password has to comply with the following requirements: <ul> <li> <b>Basic password policy:</b> <ul> <li> Has to be 8 to 14 characters long </li> <li> Must contain at least one letter (a-z, A-Z) </li> <li> Must contain at least one digit (0-9) </li> <li> Invalid characters are \ (backslash) and &quot; (double quote) </li> </ul> </li> <li> <b>MaxDB-specific restrictions:</b> <ul> <li> Must be 8 to 9 characters long </li> <li> Must not begin with a digit </li> <li> Valid characters are @, _, #, $, a-z, A-Z, 0-9 </li> </ul> </li> </ul> But the password comply with the basic password requirements.

I had to choose a password starting with a digit.

--> the requirement for maxdb is no digit as first sign. Is this also relevant for other installations?

I need a workaround to continue my installation.

regards

Mathias

Hi,

This is a workaround for this issue.

Use any password during the "Master Password Entry", so that the installation can continue, then use the "REVISE" button before starting the installation processes.

Best regards,
