SDM User/Password Deployment Error

Symptom

Error: Aborted: development component 'home/b2b_store'/'sap.com'/':
Cannot login to the SAP J2EE Engine using user and password as provided in the Filesystem Secure Store.
Enter valid login information in the Filesystem Secure Store using the SAP J2EE Engine Config Tool.
For more information, see SAP note 701654.
com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.extern.DeployManagerAuthExceptionWrapper:
Wrong security credentials detected while trying to obtain connection to the J2EE Engine.

Caused

The administrator user’s password is not only stored in the active user store, but also in secure storage in the file system so that certain applications such as the Software Deployment Manager (SDM) can use it to connect to the J2EE Engine.

Therefore, when you change the administrator user’s password in the user store, you must also update the entry in secure storage in the file system. Otherwise, the SDM attempts to connect to the J2EE Engine using the old password and you receive the error message mentioned above.

Solution

1. Start the Config Tool. Select the secure store node. The configuration for the secure storage in the file system appears.

2. Select the admin/password/ entry.

3. Enter the administrator user’s new password in the “Value” field and choose “Add”. Choose “File” –> “Apply” to save the data. Contrary to the message that appears, you do not need to restart the server or cluster for this change to take effect.

4. Restart SDM server.
