• Later version - Same Error. The answer for me was to create a configuration file for the SSIS package. The problem was that Microsoft is being security conscious. Also, I am using windows authentication. The full answer is to create the configuration file and then exit from the editor and edit the configuration file separately in notepad or some other text editor. The passwords are not saved and will be removed from the package and the configuration file when you edit it even though you tell it to save the passwords.
