Try the credentials (userid / password): jasperdb / password instead of: jasperdb / jasperdb. You can see this if you log into JasperReports Server, select View -> Search Results, under All types, select More choices, select Data sources. Right mouse click on Foodmart Data Source and select Test Connection. You'll get a Connection passed msg. If you change the password to: jasperdb and reselect the Test Connection button, you'll get a Connection failed msg. Change the password back to: password, and the Test Connection will pass again. In addition, if you select the Save password check box in iReport, then you'll not get the Password pop-up window.
