Informix Windows issue: ERROR: Could not initialize the security subsystem.
Posted in 2021
Windows 10 default installation + updates, IDS 14.10.FC6DE (tested with IE, WE, Ent, Exp)
Figure #1
My user Hrvoje is member of Administrators and Informix-Admin
Registry has HLM\\Software\\Informix\\Online\\%INFORMIXSERVER%\\Security including "IXDBSA Group" -> Informix-Admin
When I start cmd for instance, all environment is loaded.
But, when I execute "onstat -" I get
ERROR: Could not initialize the security subsystem. Please ensure that this account has the necessary privileges and ensure INFORMIXSERVER value exists in the registry and environment.
I have solution - figure #2
I added domain\\username (DESKTOP-U7UJQD9\\Hrvoje) to HLM\\Software\\Informix\\Online\\%INFORMIXSERVER%\\Security\\Users\\Usernames
So is this bug, feature, documentation error, ..
. ?
