Issue/Introduction

After installation if IDM, I am unable to log into the IDM management console with the password provided during the installation.

Environment

Release : 14.3 GA and CP1

Component : IdentityMinder(Identity Manager)

Cause

Certain characters are not encrypted correctly which causes this issue.

Plain Text: testpassword
Encrypted value: {PBES}:e+m/2gqNpQiAlgmQs8DTDg==
******************************************

Resolution

In order to work around this issue do the following:

1. With the PasswordTool create a new encrypted password without the $ symbol
2. That new encrypted password will need to be added to the IM_AUTH_USER table of your Objectstore database.  For assistance with updating that table please refer to the additional notes section.
