Password problem on IDS 7.30 ( Linux )

Hello ! I got error message err = -952: oserr = 0: errstr = : User's password is not correct for the database server each time I try to connect to server by using "dbaccess" Connection/Connect and each time when I try to connect to database remotely through JDBC Driver (2.11)( URL is correct - I'm sure about it ) Other activities from "dbaccess" like creating /droping databases/tables works fine ! Mayb somebody know how can I solve this problem? Regards Tomek Ignasiak

Is your server running on Linux? There is a problem connecting using a CONNECT TO statement that includes username and password if the server is using shadow passwords, MD5, or PAM. Revert to using /etc/passwd for now a fix is in the works. Art S.

It is a problem with that version of Informix on Linux. The get around for the time is to disable password shadowing ( /usr/sbin/pwunconv ). It will apparently be fix in a later release.
