that's the problem .
your context is the place where your user- and your server object are located. if SWAMY is not the original context ( oraganisation name ) your user object cannot be found in the nds. the result ist that your login fails.
remove SWAMY from autoexec.ncf - restart the server - load dsrepair.
in this tool you will find your tree name and your server name with context in the upper light blue part of the screen.
