I’m trying to set up an ECDA server to allow SAP Replication Server (RS) to connect to MS SQL Server. I’m unable to get RS to connect even though I can isql to the server using the same interfaces file. This is a new server to replace an existing ECDA/MSSQL server. Looking at the existing server I noticed that I can login without valid credentials. If I isql to the server with or without a valid login and perform “select suser_name()” the result is always “NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM”. Further investigation shows that the User being used by RS does not even exist as a user in the MSSQL server.

SAP has not been able to help. The existing server was set up in 2008 and the person who did it no longer works here. Does anyone know how I can set up the new server to allow logins without valid credentials? I realize that’s a bad idea but it’s all I have to go on.

I tried connecting RS to the new ECDA server but get this error:
