Setting Preferred Credentials - Failing

Hi there,

I am trying to create an Oracle job in EM Database Control (on Windows 2003 server), but cannot get past entering the preferred credentials for the Host.

As Host username I enter <domain\username> and password  or <username> and password and always get an error: Connection to <hostname> as user <domain\username> failed. Error: Wrong password for user.

The Help says "Host credentials are used by functions and jobs that run an application (e.g., SQLPLUS) in the database Oracle Home to access the database. Host credentials for each database should be set to an operating system user who can execute applications in the database Oracle Home. In most cases, host credentials should be set to an operating system user who is a member of the DBA group on the host where the database is running."

Howdy, Stranger!
