Troubleshoot: The Oracle database password is contained in an error message

Always review the createInstanceANT.err.log after you create a WebSphere Commerce instance.

 

Problem

If your WebSphere Commerce instance creation failed, your database password might appear in the createInstanceANT.err.log in plain text.

For example, the following message is logged:

[2007.03.19 10:04:11]        [sql] Failed to execute: CREATE USER
user1 
IDENTIFIED BY passw0rd1 DEFAULT TABLESPACE

In this case the password has been logged in plain text.

 

Solution

If this problem occurs ensure that you delete the createInstanceANT.err.log file immediately.
