Only sa login is working to login to GP 2016

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

I have a SQL 2016 server running GP 2016 16.00.0864 (r2)

On the server all GP logins work normally.

From a client computer only "sa" works, all others fail without regard to Role.

    Go to one of your workstations. Log into GP as 'sa' and set a user's password. Then try to login as this user on this workstation.

    So simple and yet eluded me completely.

    Thanks, Richard

    Encrypted passwords are a wonderful thing.

    Tom,

    What this means is that your ODBC connection string is different on the server and on the workstation, which is not a good thing.. technically it should be identical everywhere to avoid exactly this type of issues..

    Also you can use GP Power Tools - Database Validation tool to reset all passwords.
