I have the PAServer running on my MacBook without password.

From my Windows/Delphi I then try setup the connection. I enter IP address and empty password. However, when testing the connection, I get error:

TDBXError: Remote error: Authentication manager rejected user credientials. This may due to invalid combination of DS user name and password

The question has been answered (Thanks!)

As a sidenote: I am not sure how this could be closed as not a "real question"? :) Documentation, as I read it at least, did not state a password was required. Using a password solved the problem.

    Try setting a password. Works for me, but I use a password. – Marcus Adams Jun 19 '13 at 14:11

    That worked. Thanks Marcus. I am pretty sure help stated no password was okay, but I guess not. If you make an official answer, I will accept it as answer. :) – Tom Jun 19 '13 at 14:54
  • The first sentence in the original version of the question was irrelevant. However, this was otherwise perfectly acceptable as a question. – Disillusioned Aug 22 '13 at 09:38

    PAServer is not stable at this stage. It simply cannot be used. There are MANY reports about this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26275202/paserver-cant-load-dyld-library http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21259180/delphi-xe5-paserver-unauthorized-user http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28713462/how-can-i-debug-my-dll-project-with-delphis-paserver http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17193480/delphi-xe4-ios-cant-connect-to-paserver http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28115855/paserver-crashes-on-win64 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23535892/delphi-mac-os-x – Gabriel Mar 03 '15 at 09:12
  • Just had the same issue. Restarting PAServer solved it. – S.L. Barth is on codidact.com Apr 28 '16 at 07:16
  • Had this again after upgrading PAServer. Although credentials had not changed, "Test Connection" kept failing with this error. Inside PAServer, I generated a passfile (the `g` option) and used that. Then suddenly the connection _did_ succeed. – S.L. Barth is on codidact.com May 24 '16 at 10:30

Try setting a password. I have a password set on mine, and it works fine.

I don't recall anything that said you could use a blank (no) password. I would have done it if it worked.
