I fail to see a line starting with Db-password: anywhere in my ar.cfg
file.

I'm currently reinstalling the SQL 2005 tools on the AR System server to
test connectivity via that vehicle.  Further, I think I've written some
java SQL 2005 jdbc connectivity apps that I might try as well.

If the password was changed you would see something like

Db-password: xse34%43

This is the line that defines the password to connect to the database.

Just to be sure, in ar.cfg, is the password being used to access SQL
entitled: Remedy-App-Service-Password

In terms of passwords in the config file, I see only this and two
others: DSO and MidTier.

You can probably still use the macBase user as dbo, just reset its
password
to ar#admin# and remove the password line from the ar.cfg file.

Yes, the SQL logs show:

"Login failed for user 'mscBase'. [CLIENT: <IP address of AR Server>]

where mscBase is the SQL login being used for this AR Server instance.

This is where I came to question the password.  I can reset the password
for the mscBase SQL login all day long.  But I don't know what password
Remedy is trying to use for this SQL Login.  It was specified during the
initial AR Server installation many moons ago, and I'm not 100% certain
that when I created the SQL login, I specified the correct password.

SQL logs don't tell me why the login failed, just that it did.

Perhaps I'll look into a previous post about deleting a line in ar.conf
to force Remedy to use the old ARAdmin account and create said SQL login
on the server.

Have you tried attempting to start the ARS Server service and then
examining the SQL logs in Enterprise Manager to see if the logon attempt
succeeded or was even attempted?
