Delphi XE4 iOS can't connect to PAServer [closed]

Question

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. – Kimber

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. :) – Sericin

The first sentence in the original version of the question was irrelevant. However, this was otherwise perfectly acceptable as a question. – Layne

PAServer is not stable at this stage. It simply cannot be used. There are MANY reports about this: #26275702 #21259680 #28713962 #17193980 stackoverflow.com/questions/28115855/paserver-crashes-on-win64 https://mcmap.net/q/1778364/-delphi-mac-os-x – Knockout

Just had the same issue. Restarting PAServer solved it. – Zosi

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. – Zosi

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.
