Problem connectivity of Web Dympro with SAP Netweaver

Question

Hi guys,
I've a problem connectivity of Web Dympro with SAP Netweaver
I installed Sap NW in a machine on the local network with IP 192.168.x.y, and I can connect to it without problems; I can use the portal and implement jobs in Visual Composer.  
After installing Sap Developer Studio, I connected it successfully to the NW through the menu "Preferences->SAP j2EE engine" selecting the option "SAP J2EE is installed on remote hosts" and inserting IP address of the machine with NW (192.168.x.y) and port 3900.
Using these parameters the logon works, in fact I can see the tab "J2EE engine".  
The problem is that when I try to make the deploy, Web Dynpro asks me the SDM password  (that I'm sure I've inserted correctly) but it returns the following error to me:
Deployment aborted
Settings
SDM host : SVR-NW
SDM port : 50118

I want to add that  I use Win XP Prof, and I set the same credentials (user "Administrator" and the correct password) I used on the machine where SAP NW is installed.

Hi Michele,
There were 2 cases I explained, and the second was the one in case your SDM was blocked. Did you try the first one?
Anyways, here is something more that you can try to get it working. In case the SDM password is valid, did you log into the portal as the Administrator? If yes, then you must have been asked to change the password. If you did change the password there, login to the remoteGUI using the Master password (abcd1234) and change the password there also to the same password you use for Administrator on the Portal. Now try again.
In case the above doesnt work, start the configtool.bat from \usr\sap\J2E\JC01\j2ee\configtool and go to secure store. Here define the J2E passwords again (the same new password you gave for the Administrator in the portal), save and restart the server. I think it would work then
Hope that helps you out!
Bye,
Sameer
P.S - the main thing is that the error you got was Authentication failure using the Administrator username. Thats why you have to make sure that the password for the SDM is the same as what you gave for the Administrator login in the portal. So after you login into the remoteGUI, CHANGE the password to what you have for the Administrator(just like the one in the portal).
