IIF 2000 for Linux

Hi. I just finished installing IIF2000 in a Redhat/x86 box. Everything went well until I had to connect using dbaccess ('am logged in as informix.) Whenever I connect using dbaccess (Connection>>Connect), I get the error described below: 14:20:25 listener-thread: err = -952: oserr = 0: errstr = : User's password is not correct for the database server. My simple test program that just gets a connection from the database gets the same error when I execute it. FYI I can only way I can connect to the database using dbaccess is if I pass the database name from the commandline. But this won't fly since I need to able to programmatically interact with the dabatabe. I'd apprericate any information. stay cool. jeff -- Jeff Gutierrez --- http://www.gra.ph graPH - The substance that makes techies tick!

hi, got the same problem when using odbc... if you`re using shadow and md5 passwords try switching them off. other question: the installserver script must be run as informix, then there`s a RUN_AS_ROOT.sh that you have to run (as root ;-) did you installed iif2000 in this way ¿ hope this helps majo Jeff Gutierrez wrote: > > Hi. > > I just finished installing IIF2000 in a Redhat/x86 box.

Hi Joerg, Disabling shadow password and MD5 hashing did it. This is fine for now. But I certainly will NOT deploy a machine with shadowing and MD5 hashing disabled. =20 Thank you. jeff -- On Thu, 25 May 2000, Joerg Mauz wrote: # hi, #=20 # got the same problem when using odbc... # if you`re using shadow and md5 passwords try switching # them off. #=20 # other question: the installserver script must be run as informix, # then there`s a RUN_AS_ROOT.sh that you have to run (as root ;-) # did you installed iif2000 in this way =BF #=20 # hope this helps #=20 # =09majo=20 #=20 # Jeff Gutierrez wrote: # >=20 # > Hi. # >=20 # > I just finished installing IIF2000 in a Redhat/x86 box.

Hi Jeff, The fix for this has been coded and will be available in the 9.21 release of Foundation.2000 for Linux (due to ship in June).
