Session Initialization w/.NET API

Question

I have the following code to create a session. 
 Session s = new Session(); s.Init("", "XY", "XY1000", "67A"); s.Open(User, Password, Company, DateTime.Today, 0); 
 A client had been using ADMIN/ADMIN for the username and password (don't ask why they never changed the password) This is being used for an integration written in .NET. Everything has been working great for years. 
 A new administrator has come in and is saying this is not good (agree) 
 He wants to have a separate user for this application to use for connecting to Sage. A user, WEBAPI, is created and given a password. The account can be used to login to the Sage UI but it fails when the integration application uses it. The only username/password that works is ADMIN/ADMIN. 
 This was done successfully on a test system. 
 Why?

Very important!!. In your program make the password UPPERCASE. 
 Also there's security settings in Sage 300 that determines what a user can do when logged into Sage 300. The user might not have access to AR or GL as an example.

You don't have to change the password for the user in Sage. Sage automatically changes it to uppercase. When it's entered. You just need to set the password in your program to uppercase. 
 Depending on what your program is doing in Sage you will have to give the user the appropriate rights in Sage to do what it needs to do.
