I'm having a great deal of difficultyconnecting to SQL 2005 sp1 during the running of the deployment tool on the FE.. The error message indicates that I have to install the Backward compatible tool on the FE... Did that and upgraded SQL to SP1... Still a no-workie..Exactly what SQLs are compatible with the Public version of OCS... It worked fine with the Private version and SQL2005...
View 2 RepliesHere is what I am trying to do. I want to create a private / public key pair (either a certificate or asymmetric key) and be able to give the public key to my business contacts. They would then use the public key to encrypt data to be sent to me and then I could import that data into my SQL 2005 database and use the private key to decrypt it.
It seems to me that this should be a pretty simple process, but it is not. The reason I want to do this is that the data they send to me on a regular basis is sensitive. Currently we use PGP, but then I have to decrypt the data and then import it and then reencrypt it. It would greatly simplify my process if I could just import the data and use it.
So how can I do this. Most of the posts I read say that asymmetric keys are avaiable in SQL2005 but not recommended for use. I don't want my business contacts to be able to decrypt any of my data (if they got access to the database) just encrypt.
Any recommendations???
Thanks!

We are planning to encrypt few fields using asymmetric encryption. Tyring share public key with users and retain private key with us. How to generate keys? Haven't found any solid document on how to generate these keys.

Hi all,
I have some doubt about the IP Required for configuring cluster(both Window and SQL server)
Details :
----------
How Many IP(Public & Private) Required for 2 Node Active/Passive both window and SQL server Cluster ?
IP(Public & Private) Required :
---------------------------------------
1 : For Window Clustering : 2 node Active/Passive Cluster ? How many ip ?
2 : For Sql Server Clustering : 2 node Active/Passive Cluster ?how many ip ?
3 : Is there any mathematics for that ? How to analyse the IP requirement ?
Thanks
Folks- By reading all the results I got from doing a search on "private install" in this forum, I thought this must be as easy as:
1. Copying the seven DLL's comprising the engine to my application's install dir on the deployment machine. If my app is installed at C:MyApp then CE dll's would go into C:MyApp, thats where my WinMain'd exe is residing.
2. RegSvr32 on sqlceca35.dll, sqlceoledb35.dll
Since I'm using native C++/OLE DB, I don't think I'd need to care about System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
However my app which is basically the NorthWnd sample is failing on CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SQLSERVERCE_3_0............)
Which means oledb provider not registered on the machine? am I correct?
I watched Steve Lasker's video, even though the private install covers managed code, but I thought I should be doing something very similar, apparently I'm missing something.
I'll appreciate any help.
P.S., The 7 dll's above I mentioned are:
sqlceca35.dll
sqlcecompact35.dll
sqlceer35EN.dll
sqlceme35.dll
sqlceoledb35.dll
sqlceqp35.dll
sqlcese35.dll
I've just bought a Virtual Private Server Account because I want to host a number of different ASP.NET sites, each backed by their own SQL database. I've downloaded SQLEXPRE.EXE and SQLServer2005_SSMEE-x64.msi to the server and installed the database engine and Management Studio Express on the VPS.
My problem is that I cannot access the SQLEXPRESS on my server from my local machine. The Management Studio Express cannot get logged in. I've used "Surface Area Configuration Manager" to allow "Local and remote connections" using TCP/IP only. I've used SQL Server Configuration Manager" to enable the TCP/IP protocol. After making these changes I've stopped and started the SQL server - and even rebooted the machine. I've created a login "Remote User" for this access. I've added sqlservr.exe as an exception to the firewall.
What else do I need to do? Is there a simpleton's guide to completing this task?
I'm green on this networking stuff so any help is greatly appreciated.
I have setup my home computer as a server and assigned a static IP to it. I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer and allowed remote connections to it through the Surface Area Config tool, added port 1433 TCP and 1434 UDP to firewall's exception list, and started the SQL Server Browser service.
Now I can't seem to remote connect to this SQL Server from my office network. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks!!
Hi,
I've installed Windows Vista 64 bit on my pc (I had XP Pro). Also I've installed the management studio of SQL Server 2005 developer edition which I've uses also on my XP machine.
I've a online server at "myserver.myprovider.com". With C:WindowsSystem32cliconfg.exe a made a TCP/IP alias to with the name "MySql". In XP I then can connect in Sql management studio to "MySql" and everyting works perfect (I also use some other programs which needs the cliconfg alias.
After I installed Vista, I take the same steps (I've done this over 30 times, but in XP). When I then want to connect to "MySql" in management studio, I get this error: (translated from dutch) "Cannot connect to MySql. Maybe this error is caused by the fact that the SQL Server don't allow external connections. Error: 53.
Can someone help me with this?

The certificate's private key cannot be found
This message could not be delivered because the security context could not be retrieved.
Does anyone know what I did wrong, is it the Certficate in the Master Database or the Target Database

i'm trying to make private messages like the one in this site, i didnt start programming yet, the problem is in the DB schema, i have 3 tables (Users, Messages, MessageDetails) i think the problem that the UserID is related to the other two Tables, so to know the sender and reciever, when i try to view all messages for specific user and show all users who sent it, it give nothing back, so any help in the DB, thanx 4 help.
View 13 Replies View RelatedOne of our clients controls data for about 150 companies. Each company has the same schema and is running SQL Server 7. The maintenence task is horrible. He would like to put all the data in one large database, but needs to control the access, so a user at one company selecting data in a table cannot have access to another company's data in the same table. I thought about using views for each company but that is 150 companies times 100 tables. With Oracle8i you can make virtual private databases. Can this be done in SQL Server 7? Thanks in advance
View 1 Replies View RelatedI set up Service broker (2008R2 -> 2012) across different servers and domains using certificates.I set up 2 queues (one for sending, one for receiving).I set up 6 services (3 for send, 3 for receive), all 3 sharing the same queue type. (srv_send_1, srv_send_2, srv_send_3), (srv_receive_1, srv_receive_2, srv_receive_3).I set up a route for each receiving service on the source, and for each sending service on the target.I set up a SB binding to the remote for each sender service type.I granted send rights to the sending services on the source server.
I then tested my first service, and it worked perfectly (still works).My second service however is failing with the error "The certificate's private key cannot be found".I am stumped, as all the setup code was a lot of copy/paste which I have checked, rechecked and even re-coded.Basically, here is what Im doing:
begin dialog @ConversationHandle
FROM Service srv_send_1
TO Service 'srv_receive_1'
ON CONTRACT myContract
WITH ENCRYPTION = OFF, LIFETIME = 60*60*24*7;
SEND ON CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
MESSAGE TYPE [my_msgtype] (@xml);
The above code works 100% with service1, but not with service2.Note that on profiler, the target server doesnt receive any communication. The error shows on the sender profiler.Also, The conversation shows up as CONVERSING in sys.conversation_endpoints and the entry exists in sys.transmission_queue.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a couple of questions on the nature of shared and private deployment of SQL Server CE 2005 on mobile devices:
1. I've read that with a shared install, SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition files are automatically updated and serviced by Microsoft Update. I take it that this only applies to installations on desktop computers -- if you're installing on mobile devices, there IS no automatic update. Right?
2. I've also read that in order to do a shared install of SQL Server 2005 CE, the user must have administrative rights. How does this apply to installs on a mobile device? There is no such thing as an administrative user on a mobile device. However, mobile devices CAN require different levels of privilege to install certain programs -- do you need something like an application signed for privileged execution (via a M2M certificate) in order to do a shared install of SQL Server 2005 CE on a mobile device?
Or is the shared versus private deployment only an issue when deploying to a desktop?

MSDN has examples of deploying SQLCE privately for C# and VB.NET, but that doesn't seem to translate to C++. A .NET application just loads the assembly it needs from the local directory, but from what I can tell I need to use the OLE DB driver to use SQL CE in C++. The problem is that the OLE DB driver is a COM object that (presumably) needs to be registered.
Has anyone successfully used SQLCE from C++ without registering any COM objects? I'm thinking the only way to do that would be to call DllGetObject() on the DLL and get the object manually, but I've never done this so I'd hate to waste the time if there's an easier way, or if this won't work.
We are looking to put column level encryption on a table. Great! Wonderful! Look in books online and see that you must give "control" perm to the Certificate for any user that needs to use the symmetric key.
Now my question. I have backed up the Certificate to file. What I have found playing around with the commands is it is possible to run the following command:
Alter Certificate MyCert
Remove private key
BOL says their is no "Restore Certificate" command and to just use "Create Certificate". I have tried this and I keep getting an error saying the certificate already exist in the database.
What have I missed? How can I restore this certificate without restoring the ENTIRE database? Is there a permission set that can be applied to the Certificate to stop thsi kind of command from being run while still having the symmetric key usable? Any help would be of great use!
Thanks,
*note* this is using the MasterKey->Cert->SymmetricKey
Is there any harm in defining a SqlConnection as a private class variable for a web page?Private SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnectection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyString"].ConectionString);The connection is only opened in certain event handlers, and is closed right after use.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a VB.Net 2005 application that uses SQLCE as a backend database.
Following the instructions on how to do a private installation (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb219482.aspx) so that admin rights were not needed, I successfully got it working as a ClickOnce deployment. But today during a demo for a client, they ran into this error while installing the latest version from our publishing URL:
"Unable to install or run the application. Application requires that assembly System.Data.SQLServerCe version 9.0.42 .... must be installed in the Global Assembly Cache."
Basically it's saying the user isn't an admin so they can't install. This is the problem I went to great lengths to try to avoid, and is the reason we are using SQL CE in the first place: admin rights are not required to install our application's database. To our knowledge, SQL CE is the only Microsoft product that fits this scenario.
Now, I haven't changed anything in the publishing of the application to my knowledge, and when I check the project prerequisites, the SQLCE engine still isn't in there (as summarized at the above URL). Again following the instructions at the URL above for private installation, the required assemblies are still part of the project's files.
It must be something I did to cause this, but I have no memory of changing anything in regards to this part of the application. Our deadline is in 4 days and I cannot continue development until I get past this issue.
Where do I look to fix this problem? A little help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Guys, I've got a bit stuck trying to decide on a table structure for a private message like part of a site I'm building (I'm using SqlServer 2000, not that it really matters).at first I was going to use a single table with the following schema: MessageId intReplyToMessageId int (nullable)FromUserId uniqueidentifier (I'm using .net membership)ToUserId uniqueidentifier IsRead bitIsDeleted bitSubject nchar(50)Body nvarchar(1000) DateCreated datetimeDateUpdated datetimeCreatedBy uniqueidentifierModifiedBy uniqueidentifier What strikes me here is that I'm using alot of guids (which are huge) and if I'm going to be threading the messages (which I am) there's no easy way to return an ordered list of messages that are replies to each other. So then I thought about introducting a messageThreads table, but I can't think of anything to store there apart from a threadid (which seems to defeat the purpose)Any ideas? I can clarify more if necessary. Thanks

I am trying to create an assembly object when a report is initialized and I am getting the error:
[rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the textbox 'textbox2' contains an error: [BC30390] 'ReportExprHostImpl.CustomCodeProxy.X' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Private'
In the Code tab, I have:
Dim X As namespace.classname
Protected Overrides Sub OnInit()
X = new namespace.classname()
End Sub
In my color field, I have "=code.X.color"
If I replace the color field with "=namespace.classname.color" and have color be a shared property, then it works. However, I ultimately need the color to be based on individual user settings, so I cannot use the shared property approach.
Any ideas on how to get around this "because it is private" error?

I created a SQl Server 7 database and used an Access 97 frontend on the same computer. The Access frontend uses linked tables to reach the SQl server. The security setup I have is based on the NT Domain Accounts and whatever group
I have them in (example: Mr. D is in Marketing therefore he is in a NT Domain
Group called "SQL_MARKETING"...the SQL Server recognizes that everyone in this
group has access to whatever role I have designated for it in the database").
I can access the linked tables fine on my computer at my desk or at the server. Another person with the exact same administration rights as me can
get to the server through the network neigborhood or by mapping..and they
can access the Access frontend with no problem from their computer. But
when they try to open a linked table they recieve an error message that
the ODBC connection has failed. We are all running Access 97 service pack
2 and another person and me have the exact same administration..but only
I am able to access the Access linked SQL tables but not him.I tried deleting
the ODBC system dsn on the server and the linked tables and then re-adding them and the ODBC link but to no avail. Does anyone know why this would
be occuring? Thank You in advance.

Currently I am developing a project which requires to generate time-consuming reports in ad-hoc real time basis. The mechanism is
(1) User submits report request with required parameters
(2) The request will be processed one by one (I guess a queue is required to monitor the number of requests and the status of each request)
(3) Reporting service will get the report request and generate report in real time.
(4) Once report is generated, send the report to user
So, is there any idea on how to handle this type of mechanism in reporting services? Any tool in MS reporting services that can help?
Thanks in advanced.
