Hello Mike,
Your issue is described in note 997810:
If deployment fails with the error:                                                                               
Caught exception while checking the login credentials for SAP J2EE Engine. Check whether the SAP J2EE Engine is up and running.         
com.sap.engine.deploy.manager.DeployManagerException: ERROR: Cannot connect to Host: [sapmef1d] with user name: [Administrator] Check your login information.                                        
Exception is:
com.sap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions.NamingException: Exception while trying to get InitialContext.
[Root exception is com.sap.engine.services.security.exceptions.BaseLoginException: Cannot create new RemoteLoginContext instance.]
(message ID: com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.extern.EngineApplOnlineDeployerImpl.checkLoginCredentials.DMEXC)                                          
Either the connection details in Secure Store are incorrect, or the j2ee engine is not running at all. First check the admin/port/<SID>entry in Secure Store and make sure it corresponds to the p4 port on the dispatcher. If the j2ee engine is not running (no jlaunch processes on os level), check the std_<XXX> and dev_<XXX> files in  the instance work folder, located on the same level as the j2ee one.
