I have Baan IVc4 SP9, W2K

I changed password of user demo. (E.g from demo to demo1). Now it is possible to logon with user name demo and password demo or demo1.:confused:

Is the user demo a special BAAN user?

After your change, the user should be "demo" and the password, whatever you changed it too "demo1".

the demo user has no meaning. On Unix-Systems we often do not even create the user!

The only real special users are "bsp" and "baan" (on NT systems).

On Unix-Systems you might also have a tbase user for the tbase database. But actually you do not need the baan user tbase, only the unix user.

You are right, but it is very strange BAAN to allow loging with one user name and two different password. In W2k I can log on only with new password of demo.

I am using demo account while developing password agging functionality.

Check your ora_storage file. I'd guess there are 2 entries for user demo.

What's the connection between ora_storage and user?

If you mean ora_users, there exists only one record for user demo.

Of course I meant ora_users.

Sounds like a Win2k issue then.

Victor - any ideas?

Hi,

Is it possible that the validity check takes a look for four positions on NT?
If so than it does not matter how long your passwords are, but if the change is after the fourth position, it always is correct.

GN.

In NT envorinment it is possible that you have two demo users: local user on NT (Baan) server and network user. And one of them has passwd demo an another demo1.

Thanks jclju1.

Our admin has made a domain user demo with password demo. That is the reason.

Thanks again.
