Hi guys,
Is there anyway to allow SQL Server users to change their own passwords without giving them rights to "db_securityadmin" ?
Our M$ adviser suggested creating our own app using SQL NS and DMO to do it.
Is there any easier method, reference, download sample from the web?
Hey all.
I'm trying to set up SQL Server so that people with Enterprise Mgr can create a DB registration to their DB only (sql.yoursite.com). Are there any tutorials out there for doing this?
Thanks for the help!
Developers want to give users the ability to schedule and run processes, which may be executables, T-SQL, DTS, Active Scripting, etc. I don't want to enable a proxy account due to the well documented security problems. Has anyone come up with a good way to do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm relatively new to administering SQL Server, hence this basic question.
What are the standard practice tool(s)/methods for allowing users access to a database to edit data? In this case, these are engineers (not programmers) that need to edit some values. The practice in the past has been to install Enterprise Manager on their PC. However, this does not seem proper to me and I was thinking more along the lines of having them use Access instead.
I compare Enterpise Manager in SQL Server as an equilvalent to Enterprise Manager in Oracle - these are tools only for use by database administrators. Is this a correct correlation, or is Enterpise Manager in SQL Server a tool that users (and programmers?) are commonly allowed to use? In the case of common users, I would think not.
Thanks in advance.
I would like to allow a particular user to truncate a log file in astored procedure that the user runs every day. At this moment the onlypersonnel that can truncate the log file are personnel with sysadminrights. Is there any way to do this in sql server 2005 withoutgranting this user sysadmin rights (something we REALLY don't want todo)? Thanks for all your help in advance.Dave C.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a connection to sql server using sspi (windows authentication), however, I do not wish to use the built in tokenauthentication system. Administrators are worried about somebody using an unattended logged on computer to gain access to the database. So I am left with using sql server authentication (which I am not fond of doing, more password administration) or what I would like to do is use windows authentication but make the user enter thier windows password prior to logging into sql server. Is there a way? Thanks in Advance.

I'm building a package that will periodically be used to import data from an excel file to update a SQL database. I've done most of it but I am completely stuck on one bit:
How can I build something in that allows the user to browse for the Excel file to be imported (like you do when you set up the Excel Connection Manager and it asks which file)?
My ideal world would be someway of calling just that part of the Import wizard.
There are lots of things about dynamically choosing the file using variables but they don't allow end-user interaction. It may be that I'm trying to do something I shouldn't.........
HELP!
is this even possible in reporting services? I already deployed reports for our client using Reporting Services 2000, one of their complaints was that the dropdownlist of the reports contains a very long list of data, this list cannot be shorten since all data are required. Is there a way to let the users type in characters, not only one character to find the exact data they want. The data in the drop down list are needed because these data are parameters.
Are there any web based reporting tools which can provide this kind of requirement?
I have a MSSQL Report Services Report Model set up to allow users to create their own ad hoc reports. The data source for my model is a Named Query that queries a MS SQL view that actually pulls data from a series of tables & other views. When you create a report from this model and attempt to filter the data some of the fileds will provide you with a pick list to select which values you would like to filter on and other fields do not provide you with a pick list but require you to enter the data directly that you wish to filter on. Most of the data fields that I am trying to filter on are varchar fields and like I said some will create a pick list for you to selet from and others will not. This all seemed to start after I changed my data source to a Named Query rather than having my data source as the MS SQL View directly. I did this becuase it seemed that anytime I had to make a change to the views that the data source pulled from it would mess up any existing reports that had been created and this does not happen if I use a named query. I have gone crazy trying to figure this one out so any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
I am quite new to SSIS but managed to build a package which imports text files in to SQL. The text files are generated after users complete a manufacturing process on a machine.
The SSIS package is stored in the SSIS catalog and currently a SQL Agent tasks runs every evening to import new files that have been created during the day. Users have now requested the ability to run the import process as soon as they have finished their manufacturing runs as they may want to query the data to looks up stats etc.
What is the best way to do this considering all of the users are not SQL guys and wont have direct logins into the SQL Server or access to SQL Server Management studio. They will have access to the PC where the files are generated, so I ideally I need a batch file which they can just execute to import their new files.
I have seen lots of things on the web about running dtsexec but as the package is stored in the SSIS Catalog, how can I execute this remotely?
I have a report where I am giving the users a parameter so that they can select which field they would like to sort on.The report is also grouping by that field. I have a gruping section, where i have added code to group on the field I want based on this parameter, however I also would like to changing the sorting order but I checked around and I did not find any info.
So here is my example. I am showing sales order info.The user can sort and group by SalesPerson or Customer. Right now, I have code on my dataset to sort by SalesPerson Code and Order No.So far the grouping workds, however the sorting does not.
Any suggestions would help.
Thanks
I would like to perform an audit of weak passwords, which is well documented for sql users. Using the same methodology, I should be able to audit weak passwords for contained users. To accomplish this, I must be able to find the location of the password hashes for the contained users.
I have looked at sys.syslogins and sys.sql_logins, which both have the password hash for server level users, but not contained users. I was able to find sys.sysusers, which does contain contained users, but no password hash.
What is the location of the password hashes for contained users?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIdeally, I'd like to have the reports use windows authentication, ie grab current user/password so long as user does not have to enter it manually. If that is not possible, then how do I make it so user does not have to enter this info manually? My theory is that I have IIS set up incorrectly for doing this, but I'm not familiar enough with either reporting services or IIS to find out.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to change password, using the code below.. The code below is in a stored proc and I am passing these parameters from a web application.....

How can I give the above mentioned permissions, so that when user cust1 logs on then he can chnage his own password from the web application as long he has given his old password correctly?
When using osql from a command prompt the following script was run:
EXEC sp_password 'Current Password', '', 'TestLogin'
We were trying to set a password for a login to blank, but now cannot access login into the application because the application was looking a blank password for this user but the password would not work for blank.
Note ---This client only has MSDE installed, not SQL Enterprise.
If the script is run from Query Analyzer it works fine.
The script should have been this:
EXEC sp_password 'Current Password', Null, 'TestLogin'
It should have explictly stated NULL for the new password but it wasn't done.
Is there anyway to reset the password without knowing the existing password.
No other logins exist. They tried logging into the system with no password, '',"".
I am not sure what the password was set to.
Howdy - I am using SQL 7.0. I have done some research using the Books On Line and I do not find any documentation on how to change the sa password using a SQL Script. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
