I have been able to do project transfers in the past but with security enabled I get a prompt to enter "Login to EA Repository" and enter "User ID" and "Password".  I enter the user ID and Password for the database (on the server) but the system says I have incorrect credentials.

This is a known bug - apparently caused by the changes to password security between version 9 and v12.

If you search the forum in the last couple of weeks you'll see my posting on it.

It seems they missed one in the change over.

Please report a bug (as I did).

HTH,
Paolo

Workaround: turn off security in the target database before transferring.

I thought it was an issue with the security for the model on the server, but it turns out it was the local .eap file that I was trying to write to.  I removed security on the destination file as you said and it solved the problem.

Hi Paolo, 

Can you please provide the bug link you have reported?

In my case, I transferred the project into EAP file, added some diagrams, saved it and close the file.

While trying to open EAP file again, it asks me for the password, and I am not able to unlock it, so it means, all diagrams I added are gone. So I am really interested in a fix for that :) :) :)
