Incorrect ncoprimary password
You can log in to the ncoprimary
pod with an incorrect
password.
Problem
When Data Encryption Standard (DES) encryption is used, only the first
eight characters of a DES-encrypted password are read. Other characters are ignored. For more
information, see Configuring the ObjectServer for user authentication in the Netcool®/OMNIbus
documentation.
For example, go to the Red Hat®
OpenShift® Container Platform UI. Select
and select
the ObjectServer pod (
ncoprimary
). Go to the terminal and log in with an incorrect
password.
/opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/bin/nco_sql -server AGG_P -username root -password omnibusa
If
you enter a password with the correct first eight characters, for example omnibusa
,
you can log in to the ncoprimary
pod, even though it is not the correct password,
for example omnibusauto
.Resolution
As a workaround, change the password encryption type from DES to AES in the ObjectServer
properties file in $OMNIHOME/etc directory. Set the
PasswordEncryption
property in the AGG_P.props file to
AES
.
