We have have been testing out OME for roughly two months now, and have had next to no issues. However we had to change all of our passwords recently and when I tried to open OME it says it could not connect to the database. We are using an Active Directory service account to connect to the database. Does OME cache the password somewhere? Something is also going on where it's locking the service account in active directory after about 3 minutes. When this happens OME sticks at the splash screen.
Thanks for your post. When OME reports the error and you close the dialog, it would ask you for retargeting the DB. That will allow you to change the password.
If the account is locked down, you might have to shutdown OME services, unlock the account/reset the password. After that OME will show an error message. When you close that window, OME will pop up retarget option.
So the re-target window came up and asked you for the new credentials but that did not work?
Hmmmm, that should have done the trick. I think I'll have to suggest you give the support guys a call at 800-945-3355 so they can poke around and maybe collect a bit more information to troubleshoot.
Usually this is because the OME logon tries 3 times before pushing the change credentials screen. this usually locks out the account first doesn't allow you to change the logon. usually you have to prevent the account from locking out to get to the change credentials screen.
Our DBA and I called support and couldn't get it to lockout. It's working now. I'm not sure what was going on or if it just took awhile for the changes to take affect. So I am going to say the re-target worked.
