GSL_PWDEXPIRED_EXCP :Your Password has expired Error | BI Server
While starting Bi Server we started getting “GSL_PWDEXPIRED_EXCP :Your Password has expired” in logs and the server use to go shutdown state. The Bi server was integrated with OID/cental LDAP so we followed below steps to fix the issue and made the password expiry to never.

Possible Solutions:
We can reset the password expiry time using two ways
-
GUI way using LDAP browser tool
-
CUI way using ldapmodify tool
GUI way using LDAP browser tool:
Login to ldap using the LDAP admin credentials.
Navigate to below two locations and update the pwdmaxage to 0 so that it will never expire:
dn: cn=default,cn=pwdPolicies,cn=Common,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext,dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com
dn: cn=default,cn=pwdPolicies,cn=Common,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext
CUI way using ldapmodify tool:
- Login to the IDM machine using admin Oracle account
- Open up Terminal
- Run the following commands:
cd /home/oracle/oid/Oracle_IDM/ldap/bin export ORACLE_HOME=$HOME/IDM/BASEDIR/IDMTOP/products/dir/oid (Example: export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/oid/Oracle_IDM1/) export ORACLE_INSTANCE=$HOME/IDM/BASEDIR/IDMTOP/config/oid (Example: export ORACLE_INSTANCE=/home/oracle/oid/bioid2/ ) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_INSTANCE/config
- Create a ldift file(Modify_maxage.ldift) with below content for modifying the Maxage.(Maxage set to 0 is never expire or else you can set it to pwdmaxage: 3153600 to make it valid for 1yr.)
dn: cn=default,cn=pwdPolicies,cn=Common,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext changetype: modify replace: pwdmaxage pwdmaxage: 0 dn: cn=default,cn=pwdPolicies,cn=Common,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext,dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com changetype: modify replace: pwdmaxage pwdmaxage: 0
- Run the following command to modify the maxage value.
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapmodify -D cn=orcladmin -w Appsadmin1 -p 3060 -h obiee.ldap.oracle.com -f Modify_maxage.ldift
Sample Output:
replace pwdmaxage: 0 modifying entry cn=default,cn=pwdPolicies,cn=Common,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext modify complete replace pwdmaxage: 0 modifying entry cn=default,cn=pwdPolicies,cn=Common,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext,dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com modify complete
Troubleshooting:
If you are not able to login to the Ldap, then you can follow below ldapmodify command to reset the password :
- Set the env.
cd /home/oracle/oid/Oracle_IDM/ldap/bin export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/oid/Oracle_IDM/ export ORACLE_INSTANCE=/home/oracle/oid/
- The following command unlocks the super user account
./oidpasswd unlock_su_acct=true connect=OIDDB
- Navigate to the Ldap folder:
cd /home/oracle/oid/Oracle_IDM/bin
- Enter these commands to create the following File:
vi reset.ldif
Enter these lines:
dn: cn=orcladmin,cn=Users,dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com changetype: modify replace: userpassword userpassword: Appsadmin1
- Run below command to reset the orcladmin pass
./ldapmodify –h obieeapp.us.oracle.com –p 3060 –D cn=orcladmin –w Appsadmin1 –f pwdreset.ldif
Once you are done with above reset steps for admin password you can proceed on setting the Maxage stuff as mentioned above.
