The impersonation account, or domain account, in the Web.config file does not have the correct permissions to access the TelelogicEnterpriseCatalog database

Database authentication is being used
System Architect XT first verifies the user login in the catalog before checking for DB authentication. The user Login on the system can be in the format of: Domain Name\User Nameor System Name\User Name. Hence it becomes mandatory that the user login from every machine where System Architect XT is being accessed are present in the catalog.
The encyclopedia name contains a dollar symbol $
Rename the encyclopedia so that it does not contain a dollar symbol.
The incorrect server name or server type was specified
Verify that the correct server name or server type to access the encyclopedia is specified.
