Symptoms

After fresh installation of Enterprise manager Cloud Control 13c, SYSMAN login is failing with: The User Name or Password is invalid.

Using the same password, one can log in to the repository database successfully and also "emctl status oms -details" is working fine. Trying an EMCLI connection will fail with:

[oracle@myhost]$ emcli login -username=sysman
Enter password
Error: Login failed. Retry with correct hostname, port or username / password else check the log files for further details.
Log file location is : /oracle/product/13.3.0/gc_inst/em/EMGC_OMS1/sysman/emcli/setup/.emcli/.emcli.log

The emoms.trc log file is showing:
