The password was not allowed Error

  • Could someone please shine a light for me on this one?

    I have a SSIS 2005 solution that contains two Packages.

    One package has a task to call the other one. Package1 calls Package2 for example.

    When I run Package2 all by itself, the FTP task executes perfectly and package execution is a success.

    When I run Package1, it fails on FTP task in Package2, stating that "The password was not allowed".

    Both packages have ProtectionLevel set to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, where passwords are exactly the same for both packages.

    Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

  • It should work for you...

  • Worked like a charm!!!

    Thank you!

    p.s. Do you think it's OK to store a FTP password in a variable? No compliance issues here?

  • Depends on what you are trying to comply with.. And you might switch to EncryptAllWithPassword then you'd have to have the PW to even open the package.

  • I get prompted for a password when I open the package even with EncryptSensitiveWithPassword.

  • True, but since a password in a variable would generally not be considered sensitive it is probably in the SSIS package code in clear text..
