RFC Authorization Requirements

[Former Member]

Hi,

I hope a simple question here. I am trying to call up an RFC using .Net connector 1.0 (yes I am old school). The server is one where I have limited access. I am trying to just establish an RFC connection at this point but cannot get past it. The message is below. I know I have the correct username and password (have tried 2 different logons. Is it possible that I haven't the proper authorization to establish an RFC connection, and the error thrown is below? I could see if I don't have access, but the error message doesn't seem to fit the bill in that case.

Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi Jonathan,

how are you doing ?

please check the client number ( it is usually a numeral : 100, 200, 020 ...)

the error message " name or password ...." is also thrown when it the client number is incorrect, as the basis component will check for a particular name and password combo within a certain client only.

with respect,

amit

Still no luck. Not related to the Client number... strange. Will post my findings if they ever resolve themselves.

Hi Jonathan,

Can you try to logon entering username and password using capital letters?

Hi Jonathan,

Are you getting this error while executing your application or while creating a proxy?

Check other parameters. System number, application server IP number, language. Also I recommend, if you are getting this error while creating proxy, use custom settings not select the SAP server on dropdown.
