jtagserver authentication failure

Hi All,

I have the Altera jtag server running as a service on windows 7 under user system, and I type the following commands to get remote access working. This has worked before, but I am almost ready to give on it now and physically move my chassis to another location.

On the jtag server host XXXX I type.

$ jtagconfig --enableremote somepassword

$ jtagserver.exe --status

Installed JTAG server is 'C:\altera\15.1\quartus\bin64\jtagserver.exe'

Server is running

Remote clients are disabled

I have tried restarting the windows service, and I also see the password datum updating in the windows registry when I change it ...

I had trouble getting the remote 13.1 jtag to work so I tried also upgrading the windows installation to 15.1.

On a Linux Red Hat 6 jtag client system, where we are still running altera 13.1, I type.

$ jtagconfig --addserver XXXX somepassword

$ jtagconfig

1) Remote server dugong: Authentication failure

Does the service on windows need to run in an account other than system, or possibly there is something else I am missing?

I doubt that this is a firewall issue as I can telnet to the Altera port on the windows and I see a connection with activity; many years ago I punched the proper holes in the windows firewall.

Thanks for any hints,

Jeff
