I am installing Appian 7.10. Installation has been successfully validated and deployed using configure script. But when I start JBoss, I get many errors. One of the errors in the application server logs is as follows. I have encoded the data source password to be used for JBoss configuration.

Also note that, search server and appian engines have started perfectly.

The error is showing an authentication failure, there's no other cause for this error other than a password issue (wrong, expired, or invalid-characters)

Here's my suggestion

0. Review the output of the encoder. Usually the encoded password has a minus - sign at the beginning and I don't see that's in your appian-ds.xml. Double check you've copied everything from the encoded string including any signs such as -

1. Update appian-ds.xml to use plain-text password for testing purposes

Instead of

<security>
<security-domain>ds-name-security-sqlserver</security-domain>

</security>

Use

<security>
<user-name>appian</user-name>
<password>appian</password>
</security>

2. If that works, we now the plain-text is fine and the issue is the encoded one

3. Encode the password again and double check is the same as in standalone.xml as explained in step #0

4. If it's the same then review the plain text password for any particular characters such as $ and change it in the database to be different so that it doesn't use the $. Use this new password (encode it again..etc) and see if that sign was the issue
