SRM Agent password trouble

emanuel · ‎2009-07-17

I was able to fix this months ago but now i cannot remember. The SRM hosts are all windows 2003, all patched and current.

Is there a way to reset the password on the agent hosts?

is there a default password?

any hints and advise will be helpful

Customer Situation

when I go to the http://127.0.0.1:4092 address for the host agent and click Edit Settings, I can put in the password I want to use in the Management API password field, but the website immediately asks me for a login/password via a new dialogue window and the admin/password combination doesn’t work, so I end up hitting Cancel and the password doesn’t seem to be set. The SRM server cannot communicate with the agent and I get an error stating so in the Diagnose Connectivity screen.

The user name and password prompted in the dialogue box is that of the windows box on which the host agent is installed.

I ended up modifying /opt/NTAPagent/ntap_agent.cfg on the agent host and adding the Admin-Password= field with the entry from an existing agent host that was working.
