Project transfer: login fails
« on: May 18, 2016, 07:18:19 pm »
Hello all,


I've got two projects in SQL Server, and I'm trying to do a transfer between them but it fails with an "Unknown user or incorrect password".

The setup:
  • EA 11.1.
  • Both repositories use Windows authentication.
  • My own user is not admin in either project. Specifically, it does not have the Transfer Data permission.
  • The admin user has a non-default password, same in both projects.
And here's the kicker: the target project was set up as a copy of the source project, and that worked fine. The only difference is that when I did that, the target project was empty.

I've tried initiating the transfer when logged into the source project (as admin), when logged into the target project (as admin) and when not logged into either project. Same result.

I've tried setting the target project's admin password back to "password", but that didn't help either.


Any hints?

Uffe,

I know the issue.
We simply turn off the security in the target database (since it will be erased completely anyway).
