Resolution

After upgrading from Harvest 7.1 to SCM 12.1 the users were not able to log in to the system.

Checking the HBroker log file revealed the following format errors:

• Default: On Request - 10:22:16
  ID : /pt_HClient://abcdef/2600#4
  Type: LOGIN_HARVEST
  Action : sent to /pt_HServer://abcde01/3158228
  
  
• On Process Dies - 10:22:17
  Process: /pt_HServer://abcde01/3158228
  Action : Default: error. client not found for server

Inspection of the updateschema.log file showed that during the upgrade of the database from schema 7.1 to schema 12.1, the following error message appeared.

Failed to decrypt password for the user: abcdefg
Converting password for the user: abcdefg

 

It was necessary to run the convpw utility manually (Note: The CaCrypto component must be installed and the environment variable CACRYPTINI needs to be set in the environment or $CA_SCM_HOME/bin/convpw script and must include the full path to the cacrypt.ini file e.g. CACRYPTINI=/usr/local/CAcrypto/cacrypt.ini)

After successfully converting the password, the broker would start and users could login without any error message.

Note: The CaCrypto component can be uninstalled after successful completion of running convpw command line utility since it is no longer needed.
