We are trying to install the Thick Client and Config on a workstation. The installation works fine and the ODBC data source has been configured. However, when either the Thick Client or Config is opened, a dialogue box opens asking for an "Administrator Password". If we click "Proceed" without entering something, access is denied. I suspect this has something to do with the SQL database but am not sure.

After installing the client did you place the Autologin switch on the icon?
-AL needs to be on the shortcut otherwise it will always prompt looking for username and password.

I experienced what sounds like a similar issue. In my case I believe the SQL account credentials configured in the ODBC datasource did not have access to a table that was needed when initially setting up the workstation - it needs to write an entry to a table to register the workstation in OnBase.
I configured the ODBC connection temporarily to use an account with full access to the Hyland database and launched the client / config on the workstation.
After successfuly launching once for the workstation, you should be able to reconfigure the ODBC connection to use the previous account - this access is only needed one time.
There might also specific database table / procedure rights you could assign to the account to prevent this problem in the future. I don't have a lot of thick clients deployed and didn't have time to track down the specific access needed.

To clarify, the account specified in the ODBC connection does nothing more than simply provide a way to login when the "Test Connection" function is used. This is not the actual account being used by the datasource to login to the database. In regards to the original issue, I believe the reason you are being prompted is that the HSI account is not correctly configured at the Database level and is unable to create the necessary workstation login. To resolve the issue you should have two options:
OR
Hope this helps!

Now that you say it I think I do remember that I had to put in database admin credentials in the dialogue after starting the client, not in the ODBC connection itself.
This was after our database was moved from one server to another, so it all makes perfect sense now... I need to run the recreateDBusers utility.
Thanks!
