When you log into a metadata server that has been started from the
SAS Management Console, if the userID or password is not correct,
the following error message appears:

   -----------------------------------------------------------------
   Connect Error:

   X Unable to establish a connections to the requested metadata server.

                                  OK

When you inspect the Metadata server log, the Error 1326 message appears
when the user account is not already established or is mistyped or the
password is not typed in correctly. An example of the log follows:

   Defined server listen connection (1) on port 8561.

   Error1326 (Logon failure:unknown user name or bad password).
