I've got a windows application that needs to authenticate to the active directory.
But the only members of certain group can start the application.
for example only the administrators of the active directory can start the application.
Cheers,
Mike
We are writing an enterprise application in which the user logs in by entering their username and password in a form. The user will enter their actual Active Directory credentials. I want to pass the username and password to a stored procedure that will check for a valid user account in an Active Directory. In Sql Server 2005 I know I could write a small .NET library that uses System.DirectoryServices , register it in SQL and access it from an stored procedure.
Can it be done in Sql server 2000?
The reason we are not just autheticating in the .NET code of the application is that we found that it does not work on Windows 98 cleints, hence the need to go through sql server.
Thanks
Hi,
I am in the eary stages of planning a big reporting services roll out, and I have a problem. I want to be able to filter what is show in a parameter list, preferably based on a antive directory group the user is in.
As an example i could have a parameter called States that under normal circumstances would contain a list of states. I would want a sales person to see only there states, a regional manager to see only states in there region and board member to be able to see all the states. They wont nesseseraly be any information in the database about the users runing the reports.
The only way i can think of doing it is using active directory groups. Is this something i can do in reporting services, and if so has anyone any examples or pointers
Cheers

Hi all,
just want to confirm this:
We have a department and want to grant them access to various databases on a sql server 2000 instance. Can we create an AD group for these users and just add the group as a login to SQL Server? Or do we have to create a db user for each member of the group and map the logins one by one?
Thanks
I mapped a login created with an Active Directory Group on server A to a login on server B through a linked server on server A and received a null login error when attempting to connect.
I changed the Active Directory Group login to an individual active directory login and the connection worked fine.
I saw someone post online somewhere that Active Directory Groups don't work with linked server by design--but I wanted to get confirmation on this. Can anyone confirm this, particularly someone from Microsoft?
Hello. I am trying to write a report that pulls information in from Active Directory. I have a view created that gets a listing of users and a view that creates a listing of user groups, but I can't seem to figure out how to get all user groups that are associated with the users. This is what I have.
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT *
FROM OPENQUERY(ADSI, 'SELECT cn, groupMembershipSAM FROM ''LDAP://wmdomain.local'' WHERE objectcategory=''group''') Rowset_1
SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY(ADSI,
'SELECT title, displayName, sAMAccountName, givenName, telephoneNumber, facsimileTelephoneNumber, sn
FROM ''LDAP://wmdomain.local''
WHERE objectCategory = ''Person'' AND objectClass = ''user''')
Rowset_1
Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Has anyone used this successfully from an OLEDB source component, or even from the Execute SQL Task? I've seen some examples of using a script component, but nothing that uses it through a connection manager.

Someone can tell me haw can i do in order to migrate my server sql to active directory.
What is the step
Hello,
I have recently upgraded my the server that runs SQL Server to an Active Directory Domain Controler. Now I can't connect to the SQL Server from ASP.NET Applications when the application is not located on the local machine. The error message I get is SQL Server does not exist or access is denied.
I have no problems connecting with QueryAnalyer and Enterprise Manager from my workstation. I have added the Sql Server to the directory via the "Active Directory"-tab in the Property window for my Sql Server Registration i Enterprise Manager.
If I copy a directory from the wwwroot on my workstation to the server the application has no problem to connect so the connectionstring seams to work fine.
Any ideas?

hi,
we have recently completed an upgrade to 2000 server and now have AD on our network.
How do i go about querying this from any of my SQL 2000 servers?
I have found a few websites that mention adding a linked server. I have never done this and am not sure how to query a linked server, if that is the way to go.
can anyone offer some advice please?:confused:
TIA
A little background, We have a DEV Server running SQL Server 2000. This is the first of many to be migrated from out NT Domain to our new AD (active directory Domain). All Domain user accounts have already been migrated.
When they migrated this first Server running SQL Server, I am getting the following error when I try to make the owner of a job (any job) run by the SQL Server Agent a domain account in the new AD - when I switch the ownership back to our old NT Domain, it works fine.
I am getting this error:
The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (domainusername) of job testjob has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'domainusername'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8198)).
note that this is happening to all windows authenticated sql server accounts on this Server. All of these account are in the local Admin group on the Server.
Does anyone know what needs to be done in SQL Server to make the AD migration seemless???? I need to try and find this out before we begin migrating Production Servers. Thank you!!

Hi!
I want to write a trigger that add a new computer account in my active directory when I do an Insert in my MSSQL table.
I know how to use SELECTstatements using LDAP but I want to do a INSERT statement. Is that even possible?
Can you write vb code directly in SP i mssql 2000?
What I think I have to do is to have a vbscript that does the adding then call the script using exetended SP cmd execute passing the name to the script.
If someone has a another solutions please let me know!

Hi there,
Is it possible to, somehow, get a specific users password from active directory? The reason I ask is that I am writing a new system and really don't want the users having to remember yet another password, but rather be able to use there network password? I would like to write the logon section myself and not use any built in functions that anything may have.
Please can someone advise. I don't think it is possible but have been asked to persue the issue.
Thanks

I have a request to build some reports that are specific to each user. Only the autheticated user should be able to see their report data and no one elses etc. How do I get data for the current autheticated user (via AD)? If this is via parameter, how do I hide the username/password in the url?
I am sure this has been done, but I couldn't find any good examples.
Thanks, Mike

We want to use Active Directory with Oracle for User Authentication and accessing Oracle as well as storing the details in Oracle. Active Directory stores Information regarding Users, Groups & Policies etc.
We want to provide the access in Oracle for the users available in AD as well as export Complete User Information from active directory and keeping the updated information into some Oracle tables. What is the optimal method?
What configuration needed at Server/ Client End and How to do the same?
Kindly provide the steps. Please do the needful. Thanks.
We currently have Active Directory within our domain all Server 2003 based. We also have a SQL2005 database stand alone server (not currently joined to the domain). What we would like to do is utilize single sign on. Currently our users have to log into windows, then open an "in-house" program which asks for a different set of credentials for the SQL2005 database. How do we intergrate Active Directory login to also authenticate to the SQL database? Can we just join the stand alone SQL server to the domain, then from there add the Active Directory "security groups" into the database? Could someone point me in the right direction, thanks!

Hi everybody. I have this problem: I have to access to the Active Directory of a remote server from my computer using SQL and make searches based on the LDAP of the server. Someone told me to use Add Linked Server, but I don't know how to do it with the Active Directory. Thanks for the help.
View 3 Replies View RelatedNeed help understanding error message from CLR:
I encapsulated calls to Active Directory in a dll. This dll works very well for a call or a few calls. However when I wrote a winapp that calls many times repeatedly to this dll and consequently to DirectorySearcher, I recieve the following message after many iterations have been made: (while debugging, or in release mode same problem occurs)
Managed Debugging Assistant 'ContextSwitchDeadlock' has detected a problem in 'D:DevProjectsADQuerySysRegLoadPersGrpsSRLoadPersGrpsSRLoadPersGrpsinReleaseSRLoadPersGrps.vshost.exe'.
Additional Information: The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x1a0998 to COM context 0x1a0b08 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations.
Continue & breakAll after the above error thrown caused this system error code to be generated: H80131c25
Here's one of the subs in the dll that is causing the problem. After multiple calls to the directorySearcher, one or another call fails with the above error. (on the FindOne method here, but on the .GetDirectoryEntry method in another sub, random which one fails, it's the number of iterations that is the problem) Question I have is: Is the only way to stop this error to reduce or slow down the calls to DirectorySearcher?
Private Sub GetGroupName(ByVal GroupName As String, ByRef strDistinguishedName As String, ByRef strMsg As String)
Dim strFilter As String
Dim entry As DirectoryEntry
Try
strFilter = "(&(objectClass=group)(cn=" + GroupName + "))"
Dim myArr() As String = {"distinguishedName"}
Dim mysearchroot As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry(myLDAPPath)
Dim myDirectorySearcher As New DirectorySearcher(mysearchroot, strFilter, myArr, SearchScope.Subtree)
Dim mySearchResult As SearchResult = myDirectorySearcher.FindOne
If mySearchResult Is Nothing Then
Throw New Exception("Get Group Name: No groups by name: " & GroupName)
End If
entry = mySearchResult.GetDirectoryEntry()
strDistinguishedName = entry.Properties.Item("distinguishedName").Value.ToString
