RUNASSERVICE is set to YES, thus forcing a previous client command process to continue running, and not allowing a new password to be generated.
Solution:
dsm.opt file, two options are set:
PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
RUNASSERVICE YES
the following error is observed:
ANS2050E TSM needs to prompt for the password but cannot prompt because the process is running in the background.
ANS1025E Session rejected: Authentication failure
The most common cause of the ANS1025E/ANS2050E error messages is an incorrect password being supplied to the TSM Server for authentication. The normal process to correct an ANS1025E error message is to reset the password but, in this instance, there is no prompt to enter a password. This is because RUNASSERVICE YES is set in the dsm.opt file, and will not allow the password prompt due to a command process already running.
To have the ability to reset the password, set RUNASSERVICE NO and start the TSM Client. This will prompt for the password and regenerate the password in the registry upon successful login.
