Issue/Introduction

Despite having added a user and password to AutoSys via 'autosys_secure', when scheduling a job to a UUJMA it fails with the following error: Submission failed, reason = WARNING - Bad password for user <username>

 

Environment

Release: UWSMWL55500-3.1-Network and Systems Management-Job Management Option
Component:

Resolution

Disable password checking on UUJMA:

1. open file /opt/CA/UnicenterUUJMA/sche/config/ExtNodeL.sch
   
   
2. Find the following setting: -n=*,*,E
   
   
3. Change it to: -n=*,*,D

This will allow the job to be scheduled using the 'owner' defined in the job and in 'autosys_secure'.
