CAL && MSSQL Security Question (by An Ignorant)
Jul 20, 2005
Hi!
This is a very basic question.. don't make fun of me please!
I'm confused by all this logins, users, roles etc..
What I want to do it is to have an ASP.NET application that uses MSSQL as a
backend.
I'm using SQL Authentication and e.g. Each employee for Comapny A will have
a login e.g. Employee1, Employee2 with separate passwords for each employe
e.g. Pass1, Pass2 etc.. Makes Sense?
As far I understand, logins map to users so is it possible that Employee1
and Employee2 map to the same user called e.g. 'Employee'? Or how does it
work? Any dummy tutorial on this out there you can recommend?
And how do I know how many MSSQL CALs I need?
Two (for each employee login) or only one for the user 'Employee'?
Thanks very much for your efforts!

Hi, I having an issue on MsSQL Security Issue. Wish you guys can help me.
My problem is now I have create a login user and password for each Database. The problem is if the database file (.MDF, .ldf) has been copy out..user do attach manually, then put any new user and password to that db..so all my data will be view by others..is there any solution for this?
Another Question is for each DB..can we kick out sa user and put in our new user for that DB? So sa no permission on view/update/Add in records for that db?
Thanks you.

Hello, another question from a newbie to mssql.Is there a way of allowing access to database only by providing username andpassword (disabling trusted connection and preventing administrator toaccess database through enterprise manager or otherwise without supplyingusername and password)?What I would like is that my application upon instalation creates databasewith appropriate tables (already done this) and somehow solely creates andmanages user list and passwords so that there is no access to database otherthrough application. (Application would create a backdoor account shouldsomething go wrong)

Right im getting slightly annoyed LOL
We have an MSSQL 2005 box in the shared hosting environment now the amount of attacks we receive every hour is a crazy amount. The usual stuff as below
Login failed for user 'sa'. [CLIENT: ]
Now i can simply block the ip's in ipsec but the amount of attacks is crazy and its taking all my time to keep track of them all, i know its just websites, automated tools etc, mssql is set to lock accounts after 4 invalid logins, well to make security sense i renamed the sa account as its default on most servers.
What i want to know is after so many attacks why can't mssql implement ipsec security on its own and block the client ip, come on after 20 attempts you know the IP is brute forcing the accoutn in question.
Any advice people?
Its a high performance server but it doesnt need brute force attacks against it all day long, LOL.

Hi,
I am a bit new to the MSSQL server. In our application, we use so many SQL queries. To imporve the performance, we used the Database enigine Tuning tool to create the indexes. The older version of the application supports MSSQL 2000 also. To re-create these new indexes, I have an issue in running these "CREATE INDEX" commands as the statements generated for index creation are done in MSSQL 2005. The statements include "INCLUDES" keyword which is supported in MSSQL 2005 but not in MSSQL 2000.
Ex:-
CREATE INDEX IND_001_PPM_PA ON PPM_PROCESS_ACTIVITY
(ACTIVITY_NAME ASC, PROCESS_NAME ASC, START_TIME ASC, ISMONITORED ASC)
INCLUDE
(INSTANCE_ID, ACTIVITY_TYPE, STATUS, END_TIME, ORGANIZATION);
Any help in creating such indexes in 2000 version is welcome.
Thanks,
Suresh.

I've been tasked to move our production databases on MSSQL 2000 to 2005. I've supported MSSQL since version 6.5 and performed migrations to successor versions.
Current Environment is MSSQL 2000 32-bit with current Service Packs.
I've performed mock migrations on Test servers upgrading all Production instances simultaneously from MSSQL 2000 to 2005 32-bit. The Test environment is identical to Production minus server name, IP etc. Also I have a separate server with MSSQL 2005 installed where I use the DETACH / ATTACH and BACKUP / RESTORE method for migration / acceptance testing. There are approximately 30 databases totaling 70 GB. This has gone as expected and fairly successful. Vendors have been coordinated with to update code and staff for acceptance testing.
I'd prefer going directly to MSSQL 2005 64-bit instead if possible due to memory benefits etc. This is where I'd like some feedback prior to borrowing a 64-bit server for testing.
Upgrade options:
1. Is it better to migrate from MSSQL 2000 32-bit to 2005 64-bit via:
a. DETACH / ATTACH
b. BACKUP / RESTORE
c. Is one method more advantageous relating to the end result?
2. Regarding XP clients, have issues been experienced with the default SQL Server driver or is an alternate recommended for XP clients to connect to a MSSQL 64-bit server databases?
3. If you have performed this migration and have relevant experience please pass them along.

Hi,
I have posted this issue for a week, haven't got any reply yet, I posted it again and desperately need your help.
The article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365343.aspx says:
Model Item Security can be set for differnt security filters, but when I use SQL Server Management Studio to set Model Item Security, it seems "Permissions" property surpass "Model Item Security" property. -- My report server is using Custom Authentication.
For example, in "Permissions" property of the model, if I checked "Use these roles for each group or user account" without setting any user or group, no matter what users I added to "Model Item Security" with "Secure individual model items independently for this model" checked, NO one user can see the model on report manager and report builder;
in above situation, if I added "user1" and gave role such as "Browser" role to "user1" in "Permissions" property, if I checked "Secure individual model items independently for this model" in "Model Item Security" property, even I did NOT grant "user1" to root model and any entities under the model, the "user1" is able to access the model and all entities in report builder.
My question is on the same report model, how to set "AdminFilter" (empty security filter) for administrator permissions and set "GeneralFilter" (filtered on UserID) for general user based on their UserID?
The article also says:
"Security filters are always applied, even for users who have Content Manager or Administrator permissions to the model. To allow administrators or other users to see all rows of an entity on which row-level security is defined, you can create an empty security filter (which always returns True) and then use the filter to grant those users access to all the rows."
So I defined 2 filters "GeneralFilter" and "AdminFilter" for "Staff" entity for my report model "SSRSModel", I expect after I deployed the report model, the administrator users use report builder to build reports with all rows available, and the non-admin users can only see rows based on their UserID.
I can only get one result at a time but not both:
either the rows are filtered or not filtered at all, no matter how I set the "SecurityFilter" for the entity: I tried setting both "AdminFilter" and "GeneralFilter" for SecurityFilter at the same time, combination of "DefaultSecurityFilter" and "SecurityFilter", or one at a time.
Your help is highly appreciated!

I have Sql Server Express installed on Vista (service pack 2)
I have Visual Studio 2005 with an application that I'm trying to access it with within a WCF service.
The login ID of the service is added to the database.
The database has remote access turned on.
The ID is granted access to all databases within the server.
The thread is being set with WindowsProvider and the services set their thread to WindowsProvider.
The dataserver is set with using Windows Authentication for security.
When I open my connection to the database, though, it reports the typically useless message that the connection is not allowed and that the server may not allow remote connections.
How to I get past this? I've done everything right.

DB is developed on local computer with MSSQL 2005 Express. My host is on MSSQL 2005 workgroup. Are they compatible, because I am getting errors? Is my approach wrong?
I have tried several approaches.
A) I created a backup of database on my local, then placed a copy on the server. Then I tried to restore through Server Management Studio. I get this error.
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The backed-up database has on-disk structure version 611. The server supports version 539 and cannot restore or upgrade this database.
RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3169)

OK
------------------------------
B: I also have tried copying the database. I put it in the same path as the other databases that can be read with server management studio on the server. Then, tried to get to it through server managements studio and it did not appear. So I tried to attach it. Then I received this error:

C: I have also tried opening the Database, and back up file through Server Management Studio. without success.
D: I also tried Windows and Software update at microsoft update, but no updates were recommended for Version on Server.
I'm surprised this is so hard. My original data base was created in same family of software. 2005 MS SQL Express. I could use some direct help from someone experienced with this. Am I doing it wrong or are the DB versions incompatible.

In an environment where there are many initaitors speaking to a central target with frowarders in between, from what i can understand this best policy is to disable encryption on the endpoints, since dialog encryption will be enforced this is all that is really required, is this correct.
If the endpoints used encryption the message would need to be encrypted and decrypted at each forwarder resulting in slower perfromance, where as dialog encryption would only encrypt at the sender and decrypt at the target, so is this the best way to go?
Secondly is it best practice to open a dialog initally and send messages over this dialog for years never ending the conversation? This way the services only have to authenticate eachother once, if there are no reboots etc that is of course.
I would think performance wise sending each message and ending the conversation each time is a much greater overhead ? So would it be best practice to keep dialogs open and keep sending messages ?
Initally when i was learning service broker i thought that one must send a message and end the dialog until the next message, but i think the other way is the best option ?
Is this correct ?
Thanx

Hi
I'm designing a distributed application where I will have SQL Server 2005 distributed databases replicating data to my central hub which is again a SQL Server 2005 database using SQL Service Broker. Data will be sent from the central hub to the distributed sites and vice versa. I need to authenticate the communication and also secure the communication by encrypting the messages. Which security shall I use? Where do I configure the type of security being used? What is the difference between transport security Vs dialogue security - Full security model?

Hey guys, im trying to write an application to connect to a database on a mssql server using asp.net. Thus far any code i've seen and tried seems to not recognize the ODBC connections, so i was hoping you guys can offer some suggestions. For the example lets say the server is mssql9.aaa.com the db name is xyz with a username of welsh_welsh and the password is q with a table named abc in the database. How exactly would you go about connecting. The code i've tried so far is below:
<%
"Data Source = mssql9.aaa.com;Initial Catalog = xyz;UserID = welsh_welsh;Password = q;"
%>
The error i get from the sever is
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately. Compiler Error Message: BC30035: Syntax error.

Im trying to write a very basic stored porcedure that looks up some data and performs simple calculations, the results of which are then saved (updated) to a specific table. To be more specific, I use the avg function in a simple select statement to average some figures based on a where clause:
SELECT AVG(exactskip)FROM HistoryWHERE Exact = '023'
...This should return 425.66, but it returns either 425 or 425.0000.
The results which are returned and being saved are being shown as a rounded integer or shown with 4 zeros after the decimal. I know it should be ending with a decimal in almost all cases. The column in the table that the result are being saved to is formated as smallmoney. The column in the table whos data is being averaged is set as an integer. Question, how can I make the avg function calculate the decimal values and save the appropriate decimal results. What changes do I need to make to my select statement. Any help would be appreciated.
I am still very new to all this, so please be specific and somewhat step by step in any reply
Thanks
Scott
