Summary

When upgrading a previous version of a Laserfiche repository (version 7) for use with the latest version of Laserfiche Server, you may receive the following error message:

ADO Error Occurred.
Invalid Authorization Specification

Cause

This error can occur for any of the following reasons:

• The specified SQL Server user name and password is incorrect.
• You are logged on as a Windows user that does not have rights to access the SQL Server.
• You are trying to log on to a non-existent SQL database.
• The SQL database associated with the repository does not exist.
• The Repository Upgrade Utility was not able to log on to the SQL Server.

Resolution

Verify that you are specifying a valid user name and password or that you are logged on as a Windows user account that has sufficient rights to access the Microsoft SQL Server. You should also verify that you are attempting to connect to a database that is currently being hosted on a SQL Server.

If you are still receiving this error, then please perform the workaround listed below.

Workaround

In certain situations, the Repository Upgrade Utility may be unable to successfully connect the first time you try to upgrade your repository. In this case, run the Laserfiche Repository Upgrade Utility several times until you no longer receive this error message. If an error message does not appear after upgrading your repository, then you have successfully upgraded it.
