EDB Manager - stuck BEFORE getting started |
Tue, Jun 3 2008 12:12 AM | Permanent Link |
Jay M | Edb 1.09 Build 4 (edbmgr.exe) Windows Vista. NOT using Unicode. Delphi RAD 2007.
I have used dbISAM long time ago and am just starting to use ElevateDB. Trying to follow the tutorial step-by-step to create database and so on. Some how, the default session and any newly created session(s) - keep on asking for user name and password. I have created new session and given it user name and password that I clearly remember but those are not accepted by EDB Manager. When I close and restart EDB Manger, the default session is showing the user name I have entered and correct number of characters in the password field. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the utilities, restarted Windows, deleted EDBConfig.EDBCfg, etc. etc., etc, but to no avail. On starting edbmgr.exe, the default session shows the user name I have entered but it would not accept the password for that user name. Question is: How do I get past this step? One option will be to completely get rid of password I have entered - where and how do I do that? Other possibility is that session is expecting the password with default user Name - "Administrator" and Password: ?? (unknown to me) . Hope I have explained the problem. I am sure there is ridiculously simple answer to all this - I just can't get past my ignorance here. Thanks Jay |

I'm guessing from what you've written that you're trying to use a user/password combination that don't exist at that point. You need to use the defaults (Administrator/EDBDefault) to create the session then in the session you can create new users after which you can use those user/password's to access things.

Click on it and you will see options in the tasks list for adding new users, etc. In ElevateDB, unlike DBISAM, the user security is built-in and applicable for local applications also. You can choose to ignore it and use the Administrator account for everything, but it's there if you want to use it. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
