OI 7.1, XP pro workstation

Has anyone else been able to change or create a user's password using the CREATE_USER function or the User management screen in 7.1? I am able to change a user password using the CHANGE_PASSWORD function but always get an invalid password prompt if I try to change the password or create a new user using CREATE_USER or User management. I have tried various options for expire value and expire date parameters. What am I missing?

Create_User(UserId,Password,Oi_level,1,expire_val,expire_date)

Thanks, Sandra

Are you getting any sort of error message returned?

What happens if you run this from the system monitor? It will return back an error message, like the password must be between 6 and 20 characters.

I do not receive any errors from system monitor.

RUN CREATE_USER 'ACCTG', 'ACCTG_PASS', 2, 1, 2, '10/3/2005'

Request succesfully executed.

From User management, ACCTG is created with the password expiration setting chosen.

However, when I try to login as the new user:

I receive a message "The password for user ACCTG is not valid."

If I set the user to have no password, I can log in. So, the problem seems to be with the password. When I change the password to a value, then try to log in the account I get the "not valid" prompt again. When I try to log in with no password (testing to see if the password was ever changed), I receive "OpenInsight has encountered a problem and needs to close." The error signature: AppName: oinsight.exe, AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName revshe32.dll, ModVer: 0.0.0.0, Offset: 00001ec0

When I let the user change their password using the CHANGE_PASSWORD function, the password works.

Thanks for you help, Sandra

Sandra,

FWIW, I have a similar problem with 7.01. I have to create a user then change the password in separate calls.

BTW, congrats on your IPOD.

I checked bCheckLegalUser in 4.13 and 7.x and found:

4.13

RUN CREATE_USER 'ACCTG','ACCTG_PASS',2,1

Request successfully executed.

BCHECKLEGALUSER 'ASI','ACCTG','ACCTG_PASS',0,1

1

Request successfully executed. 1 row(s) processed.

7.X

RUN CREATE_USER 'ACCTG','ACCTG_PASS',2,1

Request successfully executed.

RUN BCHECKLEGALUSER 'ASI','ACCTG','ACCTG_PASS',0,1

0

SSP322: Password must be between 6 and 20 characters.

Must be the new math but I thought 10 was between 6 and 20?

Thanks for your response. It helps to know it's not just on my end. Will try your work-around. As for the Ipod, my luck must be changing since I never win anything. Maybe I should test my luck in Vegas.

When I run the similar statements on my 7.1 things seem to work.

RUN CREATE_USER "USER_A", "PASSWORD_B", 2, 1

RUN BCHECKLEGALUSER "EXAMPLES", "USER_B", "PASSWORD_B", 0, 1

Logging in worked as well. Tried in EXAMPLES and in SYSPROG (hence the _B).
