The user name you should use is an NT user not an Oracle user.
This is what you need to do:
Then you have two ways to set up the OEM correctly. A) a1) in the OEM click 'File" menu item and select
'Preferences...'
a2) in User Preferences Preferred Credentials Dialog
box, select the Node (yes the node or the machine) where the Database is residing. Then write in the Nt user name you have created in first step above, the password and the password confirmation. then click OK. a3) Now create the Job and DON'T OVERRIDE Preferred Credentials. You are DONE after you finish specifying the job and the schedule. The second way (I strongly do prefer the first) to set up OEM correctly is: b) b1) don't bother with setting the Preferred Credentials for the node. OVERRIDE the Preferred Credentials and write in the NT user name you created in step one above and the password. You are DONE after your finish specifying the job and the schedule.
It will work if you do the above steps as stated.

Oracle 8.0.4
Windows NT 4.0 SP3
Enterprise Manager 1.5
My problem: When a job is submitted by the Backup Manager (i.e. to
RegisterDatabaseInRCAT) the job fails with the error: "Failed to
authenticate
user" I checked the help files, they say that the proper access has to
be
set in the Enterprise Manager's File|Preferences... I entered a DBA
id/passwd in all possible fields. This id has TOTAL access to
everything...
Haven given up of this, I try to get the Backup Manager to backup the
database config. This results in a new Enterprise Manager Job, that
also
fails because it "Failed to authenticate user". I did as the help files
instructed (I think) and still nothing.
Any hints would be VERY appreciated.
Thanks, have a nice day(night),
Dave
