APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When trying to install IDS 11.50.FC8 in a domain from a machine
  where user "informix" does not exist,
  the installation is stuck in the password complexity window,
  which is displayed time and again, no matter what
  passwords are entered there.
  
  
  This is the end of the install.log:
  .......
  norolesep_createinfxuser 2 - The informix password you entered
  was not accepted. Passwords must comply with security policy.
  Choose a different password.
  norolesep_createinfxuser 2 - The informix password you entered
  was not accepted. Passwords must comply with security policy.
  Choose a different password.
  norolesep_createinfxuser 2 - The informix password you entered
  was not accepted. Passwords must comply with security policy.
  Choose a different password.
  
  At this point the installation has to be cancelled.
  

Local fix

• When a local user informix does exist, the domain installation
  works fine.
