109.0. "MRMEMO account password" by SWTHOM::GRAMAIN (G�ronimo) Fri Dec 27 1991 12:44

    
                   hi
    
    I have the following error message:
    
    MRMMAN> start 
    
    Status of process creation is
    %MRMEMO-W-NOSERVER The target server is not accessible
    %SYSTEM-F-INVLOGIN Invalid login information at remote node
    
    My customer have change the MRMEMO password, and I think that the pb is
    here. In my opinion the Decnet object MRMEMO1 doesn't user the MRMEMO
    account. The MRMEMO account is used by the MRMMAN> START command to run 
    the MRMEMOLOGIN.COM procedure and this procedure create the MRMEMO1
    object.
    
    I think that the problem is that the server associated with the MRMEMO1 	
    object can't be started correctly because the MRMEMO account is became
    unusable. 
    
    Question: Where is stored the MRMEMO password ?   
              Is it possible to change it to suit the new UAF value ?
    
                                                 Simon

    Your description is correct.

.0> object can't be started correctly because the MRMEMO account is became

    If the password of the MRMEMO account is changed, that will definitely
    prevent the server from starting.

.0> Question: Where is stored the MRMEMO password ?   

    It is hardcoded in the MRMEMO manager image (MRMMAN.EXE).

.0> Is it possible to change it to suit the new UAF value ?
    
    The only supported way is to reinstall MRMEMO. During the installation
    procedure, the password is asked for and built into MRMMAN.EXE.

    Storing the password in MRMMAN.EXE is not very pretty and this scheme
    is on the list of things that should be changed, but for now (MRMEMO V2.1)
    that's how it works.
