Unable to retrieve Roles - RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I've installed BOBJ EDGE STANDARD XI R2, I've deployed the JCo 2.1.8 and the SAP tab under authentication is available.

After adding a system with correct logins, I receive the following error when trying to retrieve roles -

An error occurred while communicating with the CMS.
The following error message was returned:
RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE
Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon) 

I've tripple checked the username / password and they are valid when using SapGui.

Only thing that strikes me odd are the two DLLs in the JCO package -

librfc32.dll - 6405.5.165.5297

sapjcorfc.dll - 6400.165.13.29581

I have SAPGui installed on the machine and the librfc32.dll that came with it is of a more advanced version - 7100.3.125.5937 (librfc32.dll), when I overwrote the DLL with the one that came with the JCO package, everytime I tried to log in to the sap system using the SapGui i've received a Message_Type_X error.

Should I use the older DLL that came with the JCO package despite it seems to cause Message_type_x ? (perhaps not rebooting the machine caused the message_type_x?)

Do you have any advice on my main issues - unable to retrieve roles?

I thank you for you time,

Okay,

For future reference - the problem was that the password was longer than 8 characters,

each password I tried was longer than 8 characters. I tried one shorter and blam - it worked!

Thank you

you are using the old librfc libraries. you should already use the new once.

Just wanted to update that I've checked from the SAP side to see what's going on -

SAPMSSY1 Password check failed for user BOUSER in client 710

SAPMSSY1 RFC/CPIC Logon Failed, Reason = 1, Type = R

I am 100% certain that the password is correct, tried with only a numeric password.

Thanks!
