Status: Verified
SYMPTOM(s):
Error connecting to remote adminserver
Invalid username and/or password specification. (9173)
Error connecting if adminserver started by non root user.
No problem connecting if started by root with root userid.
Security file with password has read permissions of users.
User is part of the security group.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1x
OpenEdge 10.x
UNIX
CAUSE:
The directory in which the security/password file resides, by default, only has read permissions for root but not security group.
FIX:
As user is part of the security group, just add read permissions for the group to the /etc/security directory - more exactly set permissions to 640 for /etc/security/limits/passwd and /etc/security/limits/opasswd files.
