err -952 question.

We are connecting to a UIS 9.14 database on a ultra-5 solaris 2.6 box from windows NT 4.0 using a user: ala password: ala and we are generating err -952 in the online.log. User "ala" has connect permission on the database, and I even granted resource to public. Any ideas why I am generating this error and how to get rid of it? online.log output: 17:03:55 listener-thread: err = -952: oserr = 0: errstr = : User's passwordis not correct for the database server. Thanks david.tamburin@protegrity.com David Tamburin

The actual password is not the issue here, as "dummy" login ids are sufficient. If you are not using NIS, verify the user has a valid login id in the /etc/passwd file on your Solaris box. The user does not need an acutal account/password, just the login id.
