I have on my Windows XP Pro installed Ingres Client (Ingres2006-9.1.-103).
I am trying to connect to Ingres Server on Solaris 10 (Ingres 2006 Release 2).
I did setup netutil on both ends. I am able to Test successfully connection from the server to the client and vice versa. I am utilizing the Installation Password - same on the server and client.
I am able to display Nodes Defined on Selected Node (the server) from the client. Unfortunately, when it comes to trying other utilities from client (like Ingres Visual SQL or Ingres Journal Analyzer) I am being prompted for a password. I tried the same Installation Password I used for setting up Ingres on both connections, then I tried any other password that might be associated with user or process on either end (client or server). Nothing works. I am receiveing errors - see attached file. I spent few days trying to make it work but with no success. I would appreciate your help. Thank you. Greg
Answer Hello,
When Ingres ask you for a password when you are using a vnode and you did not expect to give one, it mean the user involved in the connection is not knowed in the target Ingres server installation.
This is often the case when you are using installation passwords for the first time.
Suppose on your Windows Server (with Ingres client installed) you connect to windows with the user tom (it mean the DOS variable USERNAME is valued to "tom"). Then you use the installation password between your client (windows) and your server (solaris). But the user "tom" is not known in your target ingres installation.
You must try to create this user on the solaris side, by using the ingres utility "accessdb".
