I want to shutdown a remote DB with proshut
https://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/P20918
i get this error:
"Shutdown request denied because you are an invalid user, remote shutdown is not allowed, or the database is enabled for Failover Clusters. (12566)"
Where can i define the user for the shutdown request?
On
dbman -stop -H 192.168.1.123 -port 20931 -u j.verne -db pool_05_xyz followed by my windows password stops the remote DB (i dont know why this works...)
The problem seems to be that OpenEdge Explorer starts the DB with SYSTEM and not the user that is logged in. When i try to stop it remotely my windows login name is used to send it as user to the server. At the moment i dont know how to solve it. Maybe i can stop the db with DBMAN command, but this rejects my login.
Starting the service with a user account makes it possible to connect and stop it

But this is my local solution, i dont know if this is ok for the real remote server
You're seeing the error because the database was started with the specific flag to disallow remote shutdown. Since you're probably not root, you will not be able to go around that.
