Facing issue while applying SPS through SUM

Former Member — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:58:19 GMT

Dear Experts,

Facing problem while applying support stack through Software Update Manager in NW 7.0 (Dual stack system) . When i started SUM initially it was asking

Administrator password(SAP level) after that it was asking SIDADM(OS level password), i gave correct OS level password only but it showing "Error:The

Provided SIDADM Credentials are either incorrect or SAP Note 927637 should be applied".

Currently we are going to upgrade SPS 27. Read the note and didn't get any solution from the SAP Note.Please help me.

Regards

Hi,

You are not getting the error message by entering a wrong password othewise the authentification cannot be established.

Please read the sap note:

/usr/sap/BIN/D53/exe:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 binadm sapsys 1509173 2008-02-29 08:21 sapuxuserchk

Execute the following commands:

chown root:sapsys sapuxuserchk

chmod u+s,o-rwx sapuxuserchk

The authorization should now look, for example, as follows:

-rwsr-x--- 1 root sapsys 1509173 2008-02-29 08:21 sapuxuserchk

In addition to this, you should check if the following file system is mounted with "nosuid":

/usr/sap

You can check this using the commands "df" and "mount". For example:

hostname:~ # df -h /usr/sap/

File system Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/vg_sys_r1-usr_x

9.9G 2.2G 7.3G 23% /usr/sap

hostname:~ # mount | grep /dev/mapper/vg_sys_r1-usr_x

/dev/mapper/vg_sys_r1-usr_x on /usr/sap type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,acl,user_xattr)

If this is the case, you have to delete the following option in the settings for this entry in the "mount":

"nosuid"

Otherwise, this setting prevents evaluation of the "s-bit" for sapuxuserchk.

As of 640 patch level 392, 700 patch level 330, 701 patch level 170, 710 patch level 262, 711 patch level 149, 720 patch level 113, 800 patch level 46, 802 patch level 24, and 803 patch level 2, sapstartsrv also searches for /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/sapuxuserchk with an s-bit configuration. In many cases (if an SAP Host Agent is installed), this renders the s-bit configuration described above unnecessary, because the SAP Host Agent installation automatically performs an s-bit configuration of /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/sapuxuserchk.

Note that sapuxuserchk is only contained in the complete SAPEXE.SAR archives (and *.lst sapcpe replication lists contained in these archives), but not in the dw.SAR kernel patch archive.

Cheers

Hi,

Try executiing command pwconv on the OS level. It will update the /etc/shadow file from /etc/passwd

Incase it is not updated. Also check /etc/passwd file whether the entry has the correct home directory

and when you login through putty do you go the correct home directory.

I'm looking forward to your reply.

Hi,

Its strange, it should be related with sapcontrol. May be, you can have more information in the below wiki page. Also, could you please post the error messages from SUM log file?

(SUM)INPUT-OS-USER-PASSWORDS-sapcontrol cmd return exit code higher than 0 - Software Logistics - SCN Wiki
