dm_change_password.local hangs
Options
Hello,
we have a problem on our new installed content server version 6.5 SP2.
The dm_change_password.local executable hangs while trying to change the password for a unix user.
It hangs within DA 6.5 SP2 and using directly dm_change_password.local on the commandline.
The rights on dm_change_password.local should be ok:
dm_change_password.local rwsr-s--- root dctm.
Can you provide us help on this topic. We are currently in the migration process from 5.3 sp2 to 6.5 sp2.
Thanks & Best Regards
Katarina

Alternative to change db password in Documentum:
Follow these steps to change the Repository owner password in Documentum Content Server
- Stop the Repository, if running
- Go to $DM_HOME/dba/config/<repository name>/
- Create a copy of the file with name dbpasswd.txt
- In the DB change the password of Repository Owner
- Edit the dbpasswd.txt( The file backed up in Step 3) and replace the new password as plain text
- Save dbpasswd.txt
- Go to $DM_HOME/bin run the following
- dm_encrypt_password -docbase <docbase name> -rdbms -encrypt <database password>
- Restart the Repository
0 - Stop the Repository, if running

Hi Katharina,
I had the same issue with dm_change_password.local on Solaris which was initialy caused by a Solaris-Patch which changed the fundamental behaviour of password changes in the OS.
I opened a ticket with Documentum Support and thanks to their assitance they created a fix for me. I suggest you open a support ticket and ask for this fix. I don't know if it also applies to other Unix-Systems but this should be the best way to solve your issue.
Best regards,
Ralf
