I’m having a very strange problem with an SQL Server login. We can log into the server using the credentials from SSMS without an issue. We can also login using the same credentials from a dev server; however, when we try to login from our test enviornment, we get a login failed message.
- We have confirmed that the password is correct by visual inspection and copy/paste attempts
- I can see all of the login attempts (failed and successful) through profiler
- Login works through SSMS
- Login works from DEV web environment
- Login fails from TEST web environment
- The connection strings in DEV and TEST are identical
The first 2 things I thought of were either the password was just wrong (e.g. user error) or we had a port/protocol issue but it seems like have pretty much ruled those out.
Can anyone think of a reason it would fail like this?
Thanks in advance!

Did you backup and restore database from one server to the other? I have had similar issues in the past, this article may help:
