Hi,

I created a new session testdata in EDB manager.
In that session I created a new user Wim.
Now in my application when I try to set the session to connected
I get the message #401 the user wim does not exists
The app and EDBmanager use both the same config file.

What am I doing wrong ?

Also is it possible to change the password of the administrator ?

Thanks
Wim

You're not using the same configuration file.  What is the Configuration
File Folder set to in the EDB Manager, and what is the TEDBEngine.ConfigPath
set to in the application ?

Tim,

The configuration path was correct as I mentioned in my previous post.
It was the delphi cache that did not know I changed something in EDBmanager.
When I started delphi this morning it worked fine ...

Ok, now I changed the administrator password to an empty string.
In EDBman I cannot connect as administrator anymore, as the OK button stays disabled if the password field is blank.
Why don't you allow blank passwords ?

ElevateDB requires a password for all user logins, so assigning a blank
password to a user will not work.

Tim,

I create a new user Wim with a password.
I alter user with empty string as password in EDBmanager
I can connect as user Wim with blank password in my application
I cannot connect as user Wim with blank password in EDBmanager since OK button is disabled in EDBmanager

so it sort of "half" works

That's actually a bug.  It shouldn't allow blank passwords.
