Peferred Credentials on OEM

[Tim Arnold]

You might check the permissions.

have just set up OEM on a new dev environment and when I try to set the
preferred credentials for a node/database/lisenter/etc. the settings aren't saved.
Any ideas? I can log in fine but when I exit the window they settings are
gone. Have I started the agent wrong? Thanks, James

Do you have permissions to modify omsconfig.properties - which is where the
encrypted credentials are stored.

Also check the Enterprise Manager logs .... perhaps

ORACLE_HOME\sysman\logs and so forth .... ?


I had massive problems with this two years ago on one PC only .... Couldn't
solve it - I think it was my Java Engine ... using another PC solved the
problem..

The worst thing was the lack of decent logging in OEM.

I have checked the logs....nothing that I can see.

I have checked omsconfig.properties but it doesn't seem to store anything
but repository access info. Is there another file you were referring to?
There is a table in the repository that is for preferred credentials but
that looked okay.

I also remember having simliar problems a few years ago but can't remember
what it was. I don't have metalink access right now so can't check up on it.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Cheers,

James
