Having a strange problem where when we set a password in the colsole (production agent settings > password protect admin properties from user) and password I set doesn't work on the client.
I've tried something as simple as the letter "a". I can remove the password in the console and it's gone from the client right away. Then set it back... and it has a password... just not what I typed.
We have just moved to a new server. Old server was GSS 3.1 - SQL 2008 - Windows Server 2008r2, new server is GSS 3.1 - SQL 2014 (Windows Server 2008r2). I exported the old eXpress database from SQL 2008, imported to the new server in SQL2014 and then installed GSS 3.1. No problems, everything seemed to come across fine.
The server has a different name and IP address to the OLD server. Clients are all Windows 8.1.
I've tried removing the client from the console and having default client settings with the password. I've tried removing the console and having no default client setting then adding it later.
It doesn't matter what I do the password I type in the colsole doesn't seem to translate corretly to the client.
Is there anything that stands out that would be causing this issue?
