Hi Everyone,

This is more of a curiosity than anything else, but we have encountered some strange behavior and were wondering if anyone else has come across this as well. We have a W2K server running BaaN IVc4 on Oracle 8.1.7. We have one particualr user who can log into Baan via the Baan client with two different passwords! I tried logging in locally onto the W2k server itself and only one of the passwords worked. Any clue on how this is possible?

Thx.

andy.

Hi,

This might be caused by a double entry for the user in $BSE/lib/ora_users.

Probably there exist two users with same name and different password: domain user and server user.

kbartelds - I was suspecting a double entry in the ora_users file as well but there wasn't one for that particular user, but there is one for another user who also exhibits the same behaviour.

jclju1 - It looks like you are are right. I tried logging into baan with the domain level password of a couple of other users and I get access as well. So that seems to be the root of it!

Thx very much to the both of you!

That's a good one! I'll have to remember that!!

Anyway - the ora_users is the link between baan and the database
not between your username and Baan.. you could have 1500 duplicate
entries in that file and it wouldn't affect the os/baan login portion at all.

dave_23 - Thx for that piece of information. That makes sense about the ora_storage file.

Just wanted to let you guys know that the double login seems to be W2K related behavior. We have an old baan server on WinNT and I tried it there and it didn't work. Just thought I'd share that. Thx again all of you!
