I get an exception when I try to reverse engineer a database in EF5 code first

Question

This video shows me how to use Code First from an existing database. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/jj572367

So I use nuget to install EF Power Tools and I select my project, right click and choose; Entity Framework -> Reverse Engineer Code First. I select the database as outlined, but I get the following exception when I click OK;

System.Data.ProviderIncompatibleException: The provider did not return a ProviderManifestToken string. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: This operation requires a connection to the 'master' database. Unable to create a connection to the 'master' database because the original database connection has been opened and credentials have been removed from the connection string. Supply an unopened connection. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'ictdev'.

So the question is how do I fix this?

Answer 1

I found the solution on the comments of the webpage of the EF Power Tools product; http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/72a60b14-1581-4b9b-89f2-846072eff19d

In connection wizard, Advanced should be clicked and the value of Persist Security Info should be True.

If anyone can answer the original question and explain what is going on when you do this, I might tick them the answer!
