Unable to set Target Credentials

When attempting to connect the Target Credentials for a Windows machine either in 10g Grid Control or in 10g Database Control the following error will appear Error: Connection to host as user failed: ERROR: Wrong password for user

The reason for this problem is user does not have the OS right logon as a batch job.


To solve this problem, follow below steps

Grant the "log on as a batch job right" to the user who will be set in the credentials.
The following is an example on Windows 2000:-

1. Go to control panel/administrative tools

2. click on local security policy

3. click on local policies

4. click on user rights assignments

5. double click on log on as a batch job

6. click on "add" and add the user that was entered in the "normal username" or "privileged username" section of the EM Console.

Now test the connection.
