Can't connect after changing BI Publisher Administrator password
612389Jan 21 2009 — edited Aug 24 2010I have a single machine instance of OBIEE 10.1.3 on Windows. All elements have been working fine and I have been able to successfully sign on to:
1) BI Publisher
2) Dashboards/Answers
3) BI Administrator
However, today I decided to change my 'Administrator' password in BI Publisher for good order's sake. And now after making that change I get an error reading:
{color:#0000ff}*'The server can not be used due to a configuration error, please contact the administrator. If you are the administrator, please consult BI Publisher user guide for proper configuration'*{color}
With 'error detail' reading: oracle.apps.xdo.security.ValidateException
Using the old BI Publisher password also returns an error (invalid user/password). I also stopped and started OC4J service all Oracle BI products. My BI Administrator signon still works fine.
I've read several posts about failed connections like this and ran across one that implied that characters in the new password such as *, #, $ will create problems. Unfortunately my new password does contain some of these characters {:>0 and I suspect this may be the issue My question: What is the least complicated way to back out of this situation and simply restore my sign on? I'm totally focused on data architecture and reports on this single user system right now. Thanks
