Authentication challenge while opening an EAP file
« on: January 27, 2017, 04:00:59 am »
Hi,
I used the Data Transfer feature to copy a DBMS based repository to an EAP file. The DBMS is SQL Server and the EAP file is local. The EAP file got created fine but when I try to open it, it prompts me for usename/pwd and doesn't accept my network credentials? How can can I remove this prompt?
Thanks

Most likely the transfer did not succeed since this message appears for wrong formatted/non existing repositories. Try to open the repo with MS Access or another SQL client and see whether the tables are present. Eventually you must renate .EAP to .mdb (IIRC; must be the right extension for Access).

You probably have "Accept Windows Authentication" enabled on the source database. That option is disabled on a model transfer, so you'll only be able to log-in with accounts that have explicitly set a password.
