PDW WORKS VAULT ERROR 40 - Could not validate user, login aborted..

PDW WORKS VAULT ERROR 40 - Could not validate user, login aborted..

PDW WORKS VAULT ERROR 40 - Could not validate user, login aborted..

(OP)
I updated to 2006 SP3.1 and am getting an error 40 Could not validate user, login aborted..

Any Ideas where to start, the vault is visible and seems to be intact.

RE: PDW WORKS VAULT ERROR 40 - Could not validate user, login aborted..

What do you mean when you say the vault is visible?  Can you see the project folders, or does it just say Login where you should see PDMWorks?  If you are successfully logged in, try logging out of PDMWorks and then logging back in to see if you get the same error.  If you do, try stopping and restarting the PDM service.  If that doesn't work, try doing a repair on the PDM client.

Sorry,
I can't get logged in neither the Admin nor the client interface, with the error 40.
I'm running a local installation of the vault for personal use.
This was fine until I installed the latest 3.0
I've restarted the PDM service and have gone to the extent of reinstallation of SLDWRK/PDMWKS SP0 and now am getting the same issue on that installation as well.

I shut it off and Whalla
