I need to find out how to add roles to my SQL that is on a hosted server.
I have created 2 roles, but after publishing and uploading my site, when I try and create a user, I get the error:
"Exception Details: System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException: The role 'userAtype' was not found."
There are two other roles that the same happens with.
Running it locally all was fine, I just didn't seem to get this info where it needs to be when I uploaded it.
I'm new to messing about with SQL, so sorry if this is really elementary.
I have VS2005 Standard, and the SQL Server Management Studio Express.
The hosting provider I have does not allow remote connections to the DB on shared hosting, so I need to (?) generate a script to populate the DB? and run it in their browser-based Querry Window?
How would I do this?
I've been working with godaddy.com, and when I setup there the sqlserver databases it tells me if I want to create the tables and stored procedures that conform the typical profile, roles and users features... the same as if I execute the aspnet_regsql.exeNow I'm working with anotherhoster (aruba) and I've setup the database OK, but i didn't found any way to setup the profile, roles, users, etc features.Aruba uses the mssql server web admin.How can I setup this features? Of course, aruba doesn't let me to execute the aspnet_regsql.exe...thanks
Hi there NT Server,sqlserver 7.0, Integrated Security. I used "sp_attach_db" to attach a database to the sql server. The database has 3 standard roles with members in each of those roles. But i am not able to add a user to any of the roles through Enterprise Manager(No users are listed, except the other 2 roles). Also when i click "users" under the Database in EM, no users are listed except "dbo" with sa login. Luckily since some members are there in the roles, they are able to connect to the database. Also i am not able to add the user bcos the user exists in the public role and i get an error message "user already exists in DB". The user has logged into the NT and everything is fine. I copied the .mdf and .ldf files from a "Standard Security" Server.
Hi , I am trying to add users,rules,roles and administrators to my website, of course on my local server everything was ok, but now I can't login with my users on the server. Basicly I created users and rules on my comp, and copied the App_data DB file to the rootapp_data that is on the server(Using godaddy). I understand that if the data is on the server it is no longer uses the DB in the rootapp_data , but only the asp tables which are on MSSQL database. I need help in copying the data from the data base in the App_data folder to the hosting database. I couldn't find the answers in the godaddy website help nor how to use their stored procedures to insert all the above. (if I need to use the stored procedures please explain how) Thanks very much for your help
Technically they should be able to view and modify jobs through Management Studio when being added only to SQLAgentOperatorRole. However they receive the following error when clicking on the Jobs folder regardless of the msdb role.
Our original two SQL 2005 servers do not produce this message, but all other instances do. All servers, but one, are SP2 so the service pack is not an issue. Any thoughts?
Apologies if my post does not fit into this forum. I initially tried the SQL Server Data Access forum but I now think my question is more security related.
Is it possible for a web user who has been successfully authenticated with forms authentication to be authorised to use a SQL Server 2000 role depending on a particular ASP.NET 2.0 role that they have been authorised to use? I understand that that I can assign a SQL Server 2000 role to the ASPNET or NETWORK SERVICE account but this will grant access to anonymous web users to the database role. I can ensure that I only call stored procedures which access sensitive data in web pages that are in restricted by ASP.NET roles. However, it would be nice to also restrict stored procedures via the ASP.NET 2.0 Forms Authentication roles.
If this is not possible have you got any bright ideas how I could restrict access to stored procedures who are anonymous web users.
I'm developing an ASP.NET2.0 application which accesses a SQL Server 2005 Express database. I plan to use integrated security for access to the database.
I'm confused about the relationships between Windows groups, the ASP.NET web.config file <allow roles=.../> and SQL Server roles.
I would like to create a Windows group to which I can assign multiple users and grant that group access to a Web Site using windows authentication and also grant that windows group access to the database my web application uses.
I have gotten the combination of Windows Authentication to the web site and to the database to work for a specific windows user but I am having trouble determining the combination of database security entities I must create to allow access to my database by members of the windows group.
For a Windows user:
1. Create Windows user
In SQL Express
2. CREATE LOGIN FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE =
3. CREATE USER FOR LOGIN
4. CREATE ROLE
5. EXEC sp_addrolemember <role-name> <user-name>
For a Windows group, what would be the equivalent commands necessary to grant a windows group access to my database? Specifying the Windows Group name in sp_addrolemember does not appear to be sufficient even though the documentation states that a windows group name is a valid value for the member name argument.
I am in the process of locking down the SQL Server in an environment that is considered to be in production (pilot stages) and there is no staging or test environment that mirrors it. I need assistance in determining the server and database roles to assign to existing logins, most of which currently have sa and dbowner rights. Because it is not a development environment, I need to be sure that downgrading the server and/or database level permissions will not break any functionality.
I'm starting with the logins that have the SA fixed server role. These logins need to be able to install applications that require the use of a backend database, which will be stored on SQL Server. In addition, through the installation process a new login/password for the newly created database(s) is normally created. For the existing logins with the SA fixed server role, will downgrading to the securityadmin and dbcreator roles be sufficient to facilitate those needs, or are those too much/ too little? And should any user account ever be granted the SA role? If so, what questions could I ask to determine this need?
Since these install process for these applications usually prompt to install using SA or local system account to authenticate to SQL to create the new database(s), that account should have securityadmin and dbcreator roles to create the database and its tables, as well as add a new login to that database.
Please address this question, keeping in mind that the logins will only be performing the described actions, installing apps using SQL Server as the backend database and adding a login to that database (which may or may not be done during the installation process).
I am new user of SQL Server. I have some problems with these words. I want to make my database works in my specified permissions. I will specify permissions with schemas and these schema wants an owner. I want this owner should be my user. When creating a user it needs a valid login. I am selecting my login and it occurs and error says this login has an different user. I am specifying permissions with roles. But i can't make association all of them. I hope i told my problem to you as well. If you explain these words to me and tell me how can i do my database's works with my own schemas, users and roles i'll be grateful. Thanks for advices.
I'm looking for some guidance/help regarding setting up a sa - lite account in SQL 2005. I need to give another admin rights to create/monitor maintenance plans, backup and restore databases, monitor performance/logins, but NOT be able to have any rights on several tables (and of course not being able to set user permissions).
I've tried using server and db roles but haven't been able to determine how to give someone w/o full sa rights access to maintenance plans.
If you can think of soemthing, please let m eknow.
I just added a 30MB SQL Server 2000 space for my site.
My host said that it only provides the space and nothing else. They will not be providing any means to connect to the database like Enterprise Manager 2000 or MS Client Network Utility. I'm not familiar with any of these and I looked at Microsoft's site to download it but I cannot find it.
Do you have any suggestions on how I go about setting up my hosted SQL Server? If those utilities are costly, are there cheaper/free alternatives?
After reading Books Online, I am still confused with Database Role vs Application role.
My intention is to control the end users' authority on the database, where the end users will access through Winforms client application. With proper assignment of schema and database roles to an user, I believe this will enough to control the permisison of an user.
If this is the case, why Application role exists? When and why should I use Application Role? How is it different from Fixed Database Role?
We've got an mssql database hosted on our fasthosts account, however I don't have any applications to access this. When using MySQL databases I use the MySQL control centre available on the MySQL website.
Are there any similar applications available (and if possible free!) that do a similar job for mssql.
Hi, I'd like to host a small website created using VS2005 EE with a company that offers just SQL2000 DB support. My question, can i use the DB created by VS site manager as a DB to the site, if not, is there any alternatives. Thanks.
I am using a virtual dedicated server to host sqlexpress at a remote site. I can't get the connection from MS SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect over the Internet. I only have the box IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and have tried various forms of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxsqlexpress as the server name.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
I have been happily using RS (SQL200) on one of our local servers for some time. However, we have SQL2000 installed on a hosted, managed remote server for some applications we provide.
We need to report on the data so the obvious decision was to get RS installed on the remote machine so I could design and deploy the necessary reports from here to RS on the hosted server.
However, for various reasons (that I do not fully understand) the default install of RS does not work on the remote server and the hsoiting company won't install it in anything other than it's default dormat. So our original plan seems to be stuffed.
What are options here? It was suggested that we could 'replicate' the hosed server data to my 'local' SQL server but that seems to have hit a brick wall too.
What would I need to do to report using the 'local' RS against the 'remote' data - is this possible?
Hi, I'm having loads of trouble trying to connect to SQL Server using management studio when the database is hosted within VMware.
Here is what I've found: 1) I can ping the Virtual machine at 192.168.10.70 2) If I open the virtual machine and use management studio locally on the machine, but use the above IP address, correct credentials, the database logs in ok. 3) If I open management studio but on my development machine and put the EXACT same credentials into the login screen of step 2, I get the dreaded error: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed to completion of the server not responding....
Remote connections are set to allowed on the VM host machine too, so I know its not this that is the problem. The VM also hosts IIS and serves ASP pages just fine.
I am asking about a virtual IP for SQL Server, is there a way we can assign a different IP to SQL Server other than the server's(host) IP address? like the same what we do in a clustered env.
Sorry if this is elementary, but I have searched and cannot find an answer. I have a backup file of a sql server 2000 database. I want to restore it to a remote hosted sql server 2005. Using sql server management studio, it seems to me that I cannot access the files stored local on my computer. Does anybody have a solution? What is the best way to deploy my backup file to the remote server? Thanks for any suggestions!
I have several hosted websites using MS SQL Server 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 set up as DotNetNuke portals. I need to do a minor patch in a stored procedure to fix buggy functionality in one module. I have the patch, but what do I need to install on my local machine in order to edit the stored procedures on the hosted database?
The hosting company's support said to install SQL Server Management Services (SSMSEE.msi), but the install fails giving a link to a pre-requisite component called ADOMD.msi. That one seems to install okay, but I still get the same error when trying to install the Management program.
Perhaps I need SQL Server Express on my local machine? I'm really just looking for the best way to access and edit stored procedures on my hosted database?
I would REALLY appreciate a nudge in the right direction...?
Is there any way to backup a remote SQL Server that is on a hosted account to a local drive? We have a web hosted account that has a SQL Server that we do not have full admin rights on, just dbo access to the data and structure. We would like to be able to do backups and restores to our local development server if possible. Perhaps vis DTS or some similar means? WE cannot use the normal backup/restore as we do not have right to these fucntions nor can we access the servers local drives directly.
I have web application and sql server 2k database in hosted environment. How can migrate my database to another server where I have SQL Server Express 2005.
Hi! Can anyone say which ms sql server predefined roles are similar to the following oracle predefined roles: dba, connect, resource. I already know that sysadmin in MS SQL Server is the same as DBA in Oracle but what about the rest? Thanks a lot.
All, My ISP does not allow me to remotely connect to my hosted SQL Server DB--how can I use SQLDataSource and other data bound controls in development? Here are my specs: IDE: Visual Web Developer Express 2005 Database: MS SQL Server ASP Version: ASP.NET 2.0 The SQL Server is hosted centrally at the ISP; basically I have been given the connection string parameters. My question is this: Do I use two web.config files (one for when I develop locally and one for when I deploy remotely)? If so, how? Will the SQLDataSource control find the connection string defined in web.config on the remote server? I don't want to have to write all of the database code and it would be a big loss of one of the major benefits of using ASP.NET 2.0 if I do. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Leslie
I'm building a hosted website and I am using SQL 2005. The DBA for the host has told me that i can not encrypt a symmetric key with a certificate, when using that symmetric key for encryption. As i read that this method provided optimum performance/ security for encrypting columns of data.
The DBA told me i can use a cert or a symmetric key for encryption. I have searched for comparisons and found a blog entry by Laurentiu Cristofor comparing certs with asymmetric keys. Which leads me to believe that certs and asymm are very different than symmetric keys.
My question is which is the best choice in a hosted environment for column encryption, a cert or symmetric key. Which is more secure? Does one offer a significant performance (dis)advantage?
I hope someone can help with my current issue as i have now spent the last 8 hours trying to solve it! Here goes...
I am currently moving all my websites from our in house set up to a FASTHOSTS dedicated server. Our in house set up consists of separate server for web and data and works well even with my recent foray into .Net sites.
I have just moved the most recent of my .Net sites (http://www.alfadealerads.co.uk/home.aspx) to the FASTHOSTS server and cannot get the site to connect to the database (this has also been installed on the FASTHOSTS server). One of the pages that connects to the DB is http://www.alfadealerads.co.uk/links.aspx, where i am getting the error..
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database requested in login 'MasseratiChauffeurDrive'. Login fails. Login failed for user 'lateral'.
This DB has been restored from back up from the original DB. I have recreated the user name on the new SQL server and added it to the new DB also. I am using a webconfig to connect to the DB, the exact same one that works on my current live server (http://www.maseratichauffeurdrive.com/home.aspx) only with the obvious change to the SQL server name.
The only difference i can see in the 2 setups is that the new one has both the webserver and the SQL server on the one machine and that machine uses domains.
My current in house setup does not use domains and as mentioned before web and date are 2 separate servers.
Can anyone help? Or even understand what the hell i have written? lol
SQL server, by-mistake I updated values of a column in a database hosted online, is there any way undo the transaction. I didn't created any backup of the database. I read that still it can be recovered through the .ldf (log file) but unable to access it. Is there anyway to get access of the Log file or is there any way to recover the data.
Is it possible to make a connection to a hosted SQL Server using the WebMatrix? All attempts have resulted in the following error message.Unable to connect to the databaseSQL Server does not exist or access denied.ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
I am facing some trouble in my asp.net application. We have decided to add some more security at the DB. Every user gets his own login in SQL-server. (I know for connection-pooling it is better to use the exact same connectionstring, but security is the most important fact in our project).
What I want to do is add sql-server roles to new created sql-server users. I can create sql-server users from my code and I can GRANT or DENY rigths to a specific table, but I don't know how to give a user a role.
