OEM Backup database fails - What have I missed ?! -

Dear All,

I am trying to start a job using Oracle Enterprise Manager (on NT), but I still get the error 'Failed to authenticate user'. This is what I've done thusfar :

• Created a user via the NT user management (as a local admin on a PDC; 'password never expires')
• Added 'log on as a batch job' to this user
• Added this same user to the database I want to backup
• Granted SYSDBA system privileges + DBA role + RESOURCES role to this user
• Set up 'prefered credentials' using userid/password (same as the NT user)

I have no clue what could still be wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions ?

The above was tested on Windows NT 4 + SP3 (no hotfixes) and Oracle 8.0.5. The database being backupped was a default database, using no archiving, and no recovery catalog.

Any help is appreciated!
