Testing ElevateDB trial on my local machine.  Local session access seems to work ok, but testing Remote is trying my patience.

I start the DB Server, and verify that it's listening on 12010 on 127.0.0.1.

Open ElevateDB Manager, create a new session "RemoteSessionTest", set the IP 127.0.0.1, all other basics, and click "Connect Session" and get error dialog "Error #501 Login failed (Login not allowed)"

Both character sets on server and client are Ansi.

Not getting very far in my testing

John,

Before you started the server, did you click on "Edit Server Options"
and select a folder for the configuration files? Then, after you
started the server, did you use the default EDB Administrator user name
and password to log into the remote session?

Yes, I set the file folder to the default which is C:\Program Files\ElevateDB 2 VCL-TRIAL\Delphi 7\servers\edbsrvr\win32

If I add the default username and password to the server, I get the same error.  If I remove the username and password from the server, I'm supposed to get a prompt to enter username and password, which I don't.

I don't know which version of Windows you're using but writing into Program Files is not allowed by the OS. Try creating a directory C:\EDBTrial for your testing

I'm using Windows 7, and I'm not using the Program Files for the config dir.

The server flashes a connection attempt, it appears as 'None3' then disappears.

Can Remote connections not be made to Localhost?

I don't use a firewall, Netstat shows the app is listening..

They definitely can.

Can you also check in the ElevateDB server what the "Licensed Sessions"
count is (on Server Details pane


I'm using the full version but these are my steps for getting a server
running and remote session to it. Tested with 2.18 b2 on win 8.1 in ANSI

1. set up new folder for config. I'm using C:\EDB\ServerTest\Config but
of course any writable folder will do.

2. start edb server and configure:
- name : EDBTest
- character set : ANSI
- connections left as default (liste on IP is blank, port is 12010, auth
IPs are *)
- configuration is on disk with folder "C:\EDB\ServerTest\config"
- temp tables : C:\EDB\ServerTest\temp

3. start server, allow firewall

4. EDB manager - create a new session
- name "server test local"
- session type remote
- character set : ANSI
- remote IP : 127.0.0.1 and port 12010

5. Connect session, get a prompt, default login/pass gets me in

Licensed sessions are 4096.

I've tried everything you've proposed and get the same error.

I suppose if I had the source I could determine what causes a 'Login not allowed', it seems lower level than the login...

Not even the one built-in to Windows?

John,

I did quickly search the error in source and it would be triggered if
the encryption password on server and edbmanager is different.

So can you reset the encryption passwords on both sides and try again.

You said you were

C:\Program Files\ElevateDB 2 VCL-TRIAL\Delphi 7\servers\edbsrvr\win32

>The server flashes a connection attempt, it appears as 'None3' then disappears.

Does None3 mean somoething?

>Can Remote connections not be made to Localhost?

Yes. I use the host name rather than IP address, but other than that it should be the same.
