ESME_RINVPASWD in SMPP
What is ESME_RINVPASWD?
ESME_RINVPASWD (Error Code: 0x0000000E) is an SMPP error indicating that the password provided in the bind request is invalid.
Possible Causes
- The
password
field in the bind request is incorrect. - The password does not match the one registered with the SMSC.
- The account credentials have changed but the old password is still being used.
- The password field contains unsupported characters or formatting issues.
- The SMSC enforces case sensitivity, and the password does not match exactly.
- Too many failed authentication attempts may result in temporary or permanent rejection.
When Does It Happen?
This error occurs when sending a bind_transmitter
, bind_receiver
, or bind_transceiver
PDU with an incorrect password.
Example SMPP PDU Transaction
Incorrect bind_transmitter
PDU (Invalid Password)
0000001F (Length) 00000002 (Command ID for bind_transmitter) 00000000 (Command Status) 00000001 (Sequence Number) 74657374 7573657200 (System ID: "testuser") 696E7661 6C696400 (Password: "invalid") ; Incorrect password 534D5050 0000 (System Type: "SMPP") 34 (Interface Version) 00 (Address TON) 00 (Address NPI) 00 (Address Range)
Response PDU (bind_transmitter_resp
) with ESME_RINVPASWD
00000010 (Length) 80000002 (Command ID for bind_transmitter_resp) 0000000E (Command Status - ESME_RINVPASWD) 00000001 (Sequence Number)
Issue: The password provided ("invalid") does not match the correct one for the account.
How to Solve It?
- Ensure that the correct
password
is being used. - Check for any case sensitivity in the SMSC's authentication system.
- Confirm that there are no extra spaces or encoding issues in the password field.
- Verify that the credentials have not been changed by the SMSC provider.
- Reset the password if multiple failed attempts have caused the account to be locked.
- Enable debugging logs to inspect the exact values being sent in the PDU.
If the issue persists, contact the SMSC provider to verify account credentials and resolve authentication issues.
