Then that is not the ARAdmin password.. The ARAdmin user is the DB user that has nothing to do with the Admin user within the AR System application which is by default Demo. The command you posted would create a user called ARAdmin within the application. It does not reset a db user password, but creates an entry for ARAdmin in the user_cache table, within the application.
This is a temporary entry and will be deleted as soon as the user cache refreshes again.

I could access the db through SQL fine and the service would start and connect but I could not connect through the User Tool with those same credentials. After running the command I could access the UT and proceed with upgrading from 7.5p1 to 7.5p3. The password for ARAdmin was changed at the db level by dba's prior to my connection attempts From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2010 5:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ARAdmin password reset ** Tommy, The arcache utility will not be of any use to you to set the ARAdmin (database user) password. This utility has options to reset the Administrator account in case of an accidental deletion of that user loosing all administrative access to the AR System. To reset the ARAdmin user password, you could do that from the AR Server information. One of the tab called Database, will have a field to reset that password. In the very odd case that you cannot do it from there for whatever reasons, you can reset the password from the database client, and then enter the password in the DB-Password line of the ar.conf file in clear text. The server while restarting will use this 'clear text' password. I'm not sure if it will remain in clear text, but if it does, reset it from the AR Server Information, and on resetting it from there it will encrypt the password in the configuration file.. Hope this helps..

I cannot log into the UT and cannot upgrade because the password is out of sync. I have ran this once with BMC before but was dumb and did not jot it down. Must have this environment upgraded by Sunday evening so if anyone can help I'll email you the beer of your choice. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:[email protected] ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
