Question

Host Credentials ERROR Invalid username and or password Oracle 11g

Asked by: naexpert

Hi,

This error has been bugging me for sometime now and I can't find a straight forward answer anywhere, can you help?

Oracle 11g on Windows XP SP2 Intel box.

I am trying to export data and when I'm asked for the Host Credentials I get the error
" ERROR Invalid username and or password "

I have tried the following syntax for Username:
<domain name>\Administrator
<domain name.local>\Administrator
<domain name>/Administrator
<Local host name>\<domain name>\Administrator

I have gone through making sure that the local security policy settings are correct.
I have added domain and local Administrator to the ora_dba Group.
All services relating to Oracle are running.
I can connect via SQL Plus with no issues.
I can connect to EM locally and from my client pc with no issues.

I have also
Created new Windows user called OraAdmin.
OraAdmin is now member of administrators group and Ora_dba group.
Logged onto EM at server and used System user logon.
Data Movement
Export to Export Files
Tables
Host Credentials

Tried
OraAdmin - failed
oracle-11g\OraAdmin - failed
oracle-11g/OraAdmin - failed

Any ideas, please, can anyone help me?

I'll gladly furnish you with any info I can to get past this seemingly simple step!

Regards

naexpert.

Did you tried "/" or "/ as sysdba" ?

Did you tried "/" or "/ as sysdba" ?

 

by: naexpertPosted on 2008-02-28 at 02:36:29ID: 21002509

I'm confused.

you mention sysdba, thats an Oracle 'user', I thought Host Credentials meant the OS admin user OR do you mean log in to EM as sysdba?

It is not possible to EXPORT data on Oracle 11g.
Clasic Oracle export is depricated on 11g and only clasical IMPORT is supported (sofar).
Also iSQL*Plus is depricated and doesn't exist.

Instead CLASICAL OLD GOOD export/Import use DATA PUMP export!!!!

Create directory (making the needed changes!!!!!):

connect sys/passw@some_instance as sysdba

create directory pump as 'c:\oraclehome\product\10.2.0\db_1\m\pump';

 Now physically create the directory '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/m/o10f/data_pump'
using MidNight Commander or whatever you use.

Create a PARAMETER FILE (expsch.par e.g.):

USERID='sys/manager@o10f as sysdba'
DIRECTORY=PUMP
DUMPFILE=010f_pump.dmp
LOGFILE=expsch.log
SCHEMAS=icwuser,lscontacts,lscontainer,lsdocuments,lsidmap,lsmedical,lssystem,lsuser
CONTENT=all

Now invoke the DATA PUMP EXPORT (Shema Level, FULL DATABASE is also possible!!!!)

% expdp parfile=expsch.par

Good Luck!

What i meant was to access through the following:
username: Administrator
password: ******

Try this and tell me what you get.

Hi Joesph,
One thing I didn't mention is that I'm pretty new to Oracle 11g, just trying to set up a test system to see if our data software can connect etc.

I think some knowledge of Oracle and its working are required on my part but I just don't have the time. The error I mention is not just for Export, it's anytime I have to enter 'Host Credentials' Maybe I have misslead people by desribing specific task as Export Data, sorry for that.

Fact remains, Host Credentials remains a mistery as to why when I use them, I have the above described error message.......

Regards

naexpert.

Hi Fekrat

As mentioned in my explanation I tried all these possible combinations for Username and all failed.

Administrator
<domain name>\Administrator
<domain name.local>\Administrator
<domain name>/Administrator
<Local host name>\<domain name>\Administrator

Thanks for your reply.

Go to Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Local Security Policy --> Local Policies --> User Rights Assignment --> Log on as a Batch Job --> Click on Add User or Group --> Add all User that you want to use for the Host Credentials.

 

by: FekratPosted on 2008-02-28 at 03:00:58ID: 21002601

If possible post a list of all users that are added to the "log on as a batch job"

 

by: naexpertPosted on 2008-02-28 at 03:03:30ID: 21002607

Hi Fekrat,

Have already done that on the server, still get this error.

 

by: naexpertPosted on 2008-02-28 at 03:05:07ID: 21002612

Hi Fekrat,

List of users in 'Log on a a batch job'

<domain name>\Administrator

by: FekratPosted on 2008-02-28 at 03:08:46ID: 21002624

Try adding the Ora_dbagroup to the list and see what will happen.

 

by: Docteur_ZPosted on 2008-02-28 at 03:16:48ID: 21002659

I didn't understand you were exporting thru EM.
I don't know if it's possible to log with OS admin to EM - try it...

Why not trying export as system ?

 

by: naexpertPosted on 2008-02-28 at 03:26:16ID: 21002697

Hi Fekrat,

You are a genius, it worked!

I added the ora_dba group to the 'log on as a batch job' and I can now get past the Host Credentials screen. The funny part is it does not work with Administrator but it does now work with another windows user I set up which i named 'OraAdmin' which has administrative rights to the server and is a member of the ora_dba group.

Thanks for everyones input on this, very much appreciated.

Regards

by: mphillip85Posted on 2009-03-18 at 13:02:52ID: 23923037

I have added both Administrator and ora_group in the logon as batch, and the Administrator account works.

 

by: RBuetikoferPosted on 2011-10-07 at 00:52:49ID: 36929237

Sorry for the late entry in this closed/older thread - but: what is the 'log on as a batch job'?

I'm facing the same problem like naexpert...but I don't have a group or something called 'log on as a batch job' on our Win 2008 R2 Server...

Any hints appreciated!
