Cannot change password

I've installed BCM on my network based on some computers with windows 2000
amd some with windows XP.
The database is on my server (with windows 2000), all the other computers
are clients. Everything works fine for me except that now if I try to change
the user password in windows XP I cannot grant access to the database. I've
tried to change it form only from the client or even in the server.
In Windows 2000 I change the pwd in the local computer, start outlook and a
message tells me to change the remote password, I fill in the form with the
old password and the new one; perfect, the password is changed even on the
server.
In Windows XP I follow the same procedure, but when I fill in the form
proposed by Outlook, I receive another error saing that the password are not
corrected.
What can I do????
Tank you very much
 
Hi,
When you try to change the password from XP client, what error message do
you get? Is it something like the password does not meet the policy (not
strong password, minimum password age is 1 day, etc?)

You might want to check the password policy on your win2k server, and try
using a strong password on your client side.

If that still won't help, can you manually log into the server and change
the user's password to be exactly the same as used on XP client? That way you
will be able to connect to the server.
 
Thanks for the answer, but I think the problem doesn-t concearn with security
policies.
In fact if I change the password on the server (with windoss 2000) and on a
computer with Windows 2000 I can have access to the BCM; if I cange the
password on the server (with windows 2000) and on a computer with windows XP
Outlook tells me that I cannot have access to the BCM database.

This is very strange.

In a workgroup LAN, the basic authentication requirement is that the
BCM user have the same username and password on both the client and
server.

The mechanism to change passwords via BCM is a convenience, but it
sounds like some Xp security change keeps it from working. That
shouldn't prevent you from ensuring the user has the same password on
both machines using the NT user mgmt UI.
 
Thank you for the explanation, but the truth is that if I change the password
in Xp and even on the server (with 2000) and make them equal, BCM doesn't
allow me to access the database.

Can the same user access the database using some another tool; e.g.
osql?

If not, the other tool may return a more detailed error message.
 
DONE!!!!
I used the server and client interfaces of sql. It seems that for an unknown
reason they talk on differents ports.
I just canged the port on the client side, canged tha password on the client
and on the server and everything works.


GREAT!!! thanks very much
