Hi All,

We are trying to connect to the SAP system via .NET connector.

My machine and the SAP system are<b> not in the same domain</b>.

When I enter the ip address as the hostname the error I get is "Name or password incorrect"

When I enter the hostname i get the following error

-

Test Connect failed. Please correct connection settings. Error was: Connect to SAP gateway failed

Connect_PM GWHOST=idesecc, GWSERV=sapgw00, ASHOST=idesecc, SYSNR=00

the sapgw00 service exists in the services file.

The hostname is correctly entered in the hosts file.

The sapmsg.ini file also contains the entries.

Kindly help ...

Hi rohit,

how are you doing ?

>>My machine and the SAP system are not in the same domain.

>> When I enter the ip address as the hostname the error I get is "Name or password incorrect"

keep the IP address, as it is simpler to communicate with it in cross domain apps,

if u're getting the "Name or password incorrect" error, you have crossed the hurdle of reaching the SAP system, now all that remains is supplying all the necessary credentials

please ensure your connection string has at least the following parameters :

"CLIENT=420 USER=AMIT PASSWD=CHAWATHE LANG=EN ASHOST=10.8.1.63 SYSNR=0"

Please review the thread for associated problems :

Hi All,

Thanks for the answers.

Uninstalling the .NET connector and reinstalling the connector worked...

Hi Atul,

On behalf of Rohit, we are not entering the password in capital letters.

Also while entering the host as 'idesecc.india.tcs.com' it is giving us error as follows :
