MAXDB : Problems with operating system user

[Xavier]

Hello,

I'd like to use MaxDB on Linux Red Hat 8.0. I've installed correctly
the software. But when I try to create a new instance through the
WebDBM or the WinDBM GUI I've the following error :

"-24875 The operating system user is not a member of the database
administrators group. [user_system ...]; 149,UNIX password missmatch"

In fact, I've checked who is the file /etc/opt/
[Globals]
IndepData=/usr/local/maxdb/data
IndepPrograms=/usr/local/maxdb/programs
SdbOwner=maxdb
SdbGroup=maxdb

So I presumed that logically I can connect on Maxdb with the user
maxdb or with someone who belongs to this group. But It doesn't work.

When I try to use the text UI dbmcli, I can create the desired
database instance. I've already searched on the Internet a solution
but it might that some people have the same problem and it hasn't been
solved.

Do someone have an idea about my problem ?

Thanks for your further answers.

Use "root" and root password to gain access.

I should also add that the "DBA" user is used to manipulate the database.

Ok thank you but I solved the problem.

In fact, the problem was because of the MD5 passwords. The solution is
to disable MD5 password cryting. You have under Red Hat to launch the
program "setup" and to select 'Authentication Configuration' from the
menu, skip the prompts, and uncheck "Use MD5 passwords".

for more information check the message where I've found the solution
on http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb/19540.
