Continually being prompted for username/password

[dbpiv]

When using getMOSPatch I am being prompted for credentials even though I have supplied them.

java -jar getMOSPatch.jar patch=28542658 platform=226P stagedir=~/Downloads/MOSPatch download=all Enter your MOS username: me@email.com Enter your MOS password: Enter your MOS username: me@email.com Enter your MOS password: Enter your MOS username: me@email.com Enter your MOS password:

dbpiv_tbMBP:~ dbpiv$ java -jar getMOSPatch.jar MOSUser='me@email.com' MOSPass='SuperSecretPassword' patch=28542658 platform=226P stagedir=~/Downloads/MOSPatch download=all Enter your MOS username: me@email.com Enter your MOS password: Enter your MOS username: me@email.com Enter your MOS password: Enter your MOS username: me@email.com Enter your MOS password:

I believe this is related to the the latest Mojave upgrade.

javac -version javac 1.8.0_172

Hi Daniel,

thanks for reporting this. Unfortunately I couldn't reproduce the same issue, also I don't have an OS X to try it on.

Typically the login details are asked for again when the login is unsuccessful (yea, I'm not clearly showing what goes wrong), You could add an additional flag (-Djavax.net.debug=all) to the command to report all HTTP communications like this: java -Djavax.net.debug=all -jar getMOSPatch.jar MOSUser='me@email.com' MOSPass='SuperSecretPassword' patch=28542658 platform=226P stagedir=~/Downloads/MOSPatch download=all But it is very excessive, however, you might find some ssl handshake issues or HTTP return codes that signal of any errors. If that helps, you could provide me with the outputs, and I'd try figuring out what goes wrong in the process (if you decide on this, make sure your password is not revealed).

I.e. I tried running it by providing a wrong password, and found the following HTTP code returned "HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized":

DOH! My apologies. I forgot that I updated my password for oracle.com. You were correct to assume it was a password issue. Thanks for taking the time to follow up.

No Problem :) Better this than something wrong with the tool :D
