SUPPORT Q&A - Restrictions on database password?

Andy - Wednesday, January 3, 2007 11:57 AM:

I just tried to install a database, using the installer, on my new test machine and it rejected my innovator database login/password.  What are your password restrictions for the database?

The Aras Innovator Installer is not rejecting your password, but rather it is failing to meet the Microsoft SQL Server restrictions.

 

You have 3 options:

1) Use a password that meats the SQL Server requirements.

2) Disable the password restrictions before installing.

3) Create a login on the server manually with lessened password restrictions, and use that login when prompted in the installer.

 

I recommend using option 1, it is going to be better database practice long term.
