Can Report Results Be Filtered By Windows User Login?
May 2, 2007
Good morning,
I'm in the process of creating a report to show employees and managers holiday and absence information. Is there a way of filtering the results of the report based on who is running the report, so that employees could only see their own information and managers could only see theirs and their subordinates information?
What I was hoping to do was create a lookup table which cross-references Windows logins with employee numbers and then use this information to pass a parameter to the SQL query, but I don't know how to retrieve the login from the machine being used to view the report.
I've heard about row level security and it seems ideal in theory but I fear the implimentation of row level security would be far beyond my meagre knowledge.
Any constructive suggestions welcomed.
Thanks,
Paul

We are looking at developing an SQL Server 2005 Database and I would like to use Windows Authentication rather than SQL Server Authentication to connect our client app.
In our development environment, we have two Servers, one being used as a file server and the other as an SQL Server. We have now set up a domain using the file server as the domain controller. (We had previously been set up to use a workgroup).
I have set up an active directory group called SqlDevelopers and added an active directory user called Jonathan to it.
On the SQL Sever, in management studio, I have set up a new server login which uses windows authentication called DomainSqlDevelopers. I used the GUI to verify I could see the domain and the group.
The default database is set to a test database on the server. A user in the test database is mapped to the DomainSqlDevelopers and given the Roles dbo, db_datareader, db_datawriter.
To test the log in, on the server, I logged out as administrator and in as Jonathan. I could successfully access the server through management studio using windows authentication.
However, if I log in as Jonathan on my client PC and try to access the SQL Server using management studio and windows authentication, I have problems.
The first time I try I will get a timeout error. If I try again will get either:
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection
Or
Cannot generate SSPI context
I can€™t determine any pattern to which of the above errors I get.
However, if I log in as administrator on my client PC, I can connect to the server using management studio and windows authentication.
Sounds like Active Directory/Domain or other Network issue (Not really my area). I would be grateful for any help.
Thanks,
Jon

Is there a form of ALTER USER or other option that would allow me to change the Windows-based login associated with a user account?
According to BOL, I cannot use the sp_change_users_login trick since I want to rewire up to a Windows login, not a SQL Server login.

Oracle and Teradata are able to capture the windows/client login that connects to their database with a functionnal ID.I've searched around and I don't think MS SQL can do this...I administer SQL 2014 server and also SAS Enterprise guide product. I've created sql server logins for several teams so everyone shares the same sql server login which is used to bind the SAS library to my SQL server database.
However, when looking at activity monitor, I can't drill down to which user is executing a particular query. I only see the SQL login which is share amongs 200 other folks.On the other hand, when they connect from SAS to Oracle or Teradata, I can see the shared login + additionally their windows NT login used to connect to SAS which is awesome....they can't fool me by using a shared/funcionnal ID....i still see who's using that ID...

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to connect SQL database through code but I get this error,I have spent days to solve it but unfortunately I couldn't...Here is my code in VB express(OP:windows 2000 with SP4)I am new to VB,so it makes the situation more difficult for me.
my code is:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim conn1 As SqlConnection = _
New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;" & _
"Integrated Security=SSPI;" & _
"database=deneme3_database;")
'Open connection
conn1.Open()
MessageBox.Show("Connection succeeded.")
'Close connection
conn1.Close()
MessageBox.Show("Connection closed.")
End Sub
The error message is,it is in german but it is clear I guess:)
" Die von der Anmeldung angeforderte "deneme3_database"-Datenbank kann nicht geöffnet werden. Fehler bei der Anmeldung.
Fehler bei der Anmeldung für den Benutzer 'ADPLANatalay'. "
Thank you in advance!

I'm working on an ASP.NET project, and we're attempting to switch from SQL Server authentication to Windows authentication to connect to the database.
It works fine locally when I debug in Visual Studio, but when it hits the web server, I get the error: "Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."
IIS has anonymous access disabled, and Integrated Windows Authentication is checked. The web.config file has:
<authentication mode="Windows"/><identity impersonate="true"/>
The database I'm attempting to access is on a different machine than IIS, and the connection string doesn't contain a username or password, and has "Trusted_Connection=Yes", and "Integrated Security=SSPI".
From what I've been able to find online, I'm guessing the problem is due to IIS and SQL Server residing on different machines, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Any ideas?

Hi--
I am building an intRAnet website using windows authentication for website access and SQL Server access ( Trusted_Connection = true ).
In IIS I have these settings:
Allow Anonymous = unchecked (false)
Windows Authentication = Checked (true)
Digest windows = checked (true)
In my Web.Config file:
authentication="windows"
impersonate="true"
allowusers="*"
When I pull up the page these are my credentials:
Security.Principal.Windows: mydomainmyuserid (this is correct what it shows on my page)
Me.User.Identity: mydomainmyuserid (this is correct what it shows on my page)
Threading.currentThread.currentUser mydomainmyuserid (this is correct what it shows on my page)
So the ASP.NET page recognizes it is me and my domain. However, when i click a button to pull some data from a database I get the error message: Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
My data access on SQL Server works fine. The weird thing is when I debug on my machine it pulls data fine. but when I copy the files to the windows 2003 server it doesn't work.
Do i have to do something with delegation?

Deleting a Login from a server instance and adding it back did not show that the login was still mapped to databases. In SQL Server 2008, adding a Windows Login did not permit access to end user databases until the Windows Login was mapped to various databases. In SQL Server 2012, once a Windows Login is added to SQL Server Security, it may access ANY end user databaseWe use the following to circumvent this problem, Windows Login by Windows Login: DENY VIEW ANY DATABASE TO [TESTTest1]

Hi,
We are using Microsoft Reporting Service 2005 to develop reports and we are accessing these reports through a J2EE application.
The front end is implemented using Tapestry and we using JBoss as our applicaiton server.
We are using Shared Data Sources for the reports and we set its data source type to SQL Server Analysis Services.
In the credential tab, by default "Use Windows authentication" is selected. All other options are disabled.
When I access my reportserver through my web application, I am always prompted for a windows login and password.
How can I avoid being shown the windows login prompt, since our web application will be used by several users and we do not want the users to type in a username/password everytime they want to access our reports.
Please suggest me solution for this scenario.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Everyone,
I'm just trying something that I haven't tried before, and I'm wondering if anyone has done it before. I'm building a report with three charts. This chart is going to go inside of Microsoft CRM. One of the charts has to use CRM filtered views, so that a manager can see his whole team's numbers, but a team member will only see his numbers. I can't do this any other way because of the complexity of the query, which has 3 select statements joined together as tables. It would be too complex to try to use a parameter throughout all of those tables, and I'm not sure how I would set up a parameter to show all of the data if the user were the manager, and only the single user's data if it were someone else.
The other two charts use filtered views as well, but they have similar joins, and I had to hard code a column with meaningless data into each SELECT table so that I could use it to join, as the tables had no other similarities.
The problem is that when you upload a report into CRM, if it uses filtered views, you don't have to go into Report Manager and change the data source from a shared to a custom data source. But on reports where I don't use the filtered views, I find that they always break when upload them, because they use the shared data source. This is the case even when I have created the report without the shared data source. So I usually have to go in and change the data source from shared to custom every time I upload a report without filtered views.
Because of the situation I described, this report uses both filtered views and non-filtered views (for the hard-coded columns). When I upload it into CRM, it won't work either way, with a shared or a custom data source.
Has anyone had this problem before?

I need to determine the following about the current authenticated Windows domain user who is trying to access a SQL Server via a trusted connection.
1 Has the current user been granted login access to the trusted SQL Server?
2 Has the current user been granted access to a specific database?
3 Is the current user a member of a specific database role such as (DB_ROLE_ADMINISTRATORS)?
Thanks,

Hi
I have picked up the same problem that quite a few folks have identified.
I have created a SSRS Solution and have a report which I am trying to deploy to the Report Manager.
The project 'builds' locally but when I try to deploy it, a User Login Box pops up.
Has any one been able to ascertain what causes the problem and how does one go about resolving the problem.
I am using Window Authentication on WIndows XP SP2 with SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition and Visual Studio 2005 Professional
I have not 'tinkered' with IIS,.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to report against a cube and I want the user to be able to choose the date for the report.
Now the cube dimension has been built against a calendar which contains values for the next 30 years(!) so when I create a parameterized report the list of dates is ridiculously huge.
I want to filter the dates out and show only the dates for which there is data. How do I filter out the list of dates for a parameter?

I am trying to build a report that allows a user to enter partial text that filters the values in a drop down
For examle;
Lets say I am selecting a value from a drop down for States and I want to type in FL to filter the collection down so that only Florida appears in the select list.
I know the above example wont work since I cannot actaully enter text into a drop down, however
I have also tried to seperate this functionality by creating one report parameter for entering the search text and another parameter that will display a filtered data set using the text entered in the first parameter.
Is this something that reporting services can handle ? If it is please provide a brief example.
Thanks

Hey Microsoft: this affects development that will eventually sell a lot of seats on SharePoint Server 2007. If you guys and gals can't straighten out this mess, you can't expect custom solutions with custom web parts. So pay attention for your own good. Yes, SPS 2007 is what this is all about. I've created simpe web parts and deployed them, same VS 2005, but I need local development and debugging for more complex stuff. I'm really disappointed that you have no solution for this problem.
I've seen other posts on this, but the result seems to be the same: if you fix it, it's by accident, not by design.
1. I created a blank ASP.NET web site
2. I added a web part manager
3. I added a web part zone
I get the error described above. I have no idea why SQL Server settings are so screwed up.
I've tried all the stuff in the other posts - security settings, command line installation, etc. None of those worked.
The default template(s) don't copy anything into App_Data, nor create an empty folder. I don't know why that is. I have other web sites working just fine, but they use remote SQL databases, or local ones I created, and didn't need profile management (no forms authentication, no web parts, no web zones).
I've also started out with a local database, using SQL Authentication, later moving it to a remote server, and never had any problems. The SQL Server developer edition and Express seem to work just fine. I can also debug stored procs when the .mdf is in App_Data. So the problem isn't one of connectivity.
What would cause the default screw-up? This would seem to point from all directions to a problem with Visual Studio (2005)? The installation is defalt - perhaps some extras included (copy local), but nothing unusual. AJAX for ASP.net is installed, but not used in the above "default web site" trial. Likewise Syncfusion's tools, which work fine on other developer workstations at this same location, all of which are from the same image (purchased at the same time & imaged). That web parts work on other boxes, running all the same management tools (anti-virus, remote sys admin/sms etc.) makes none of those suspect.
I think Microsoft needs to have a clean problem solution and publish it. SP1 certainly doesn't fix it. What's worse is the stupid, lame error message. "I can't open the default database". Well, what did you try? What do you think the default is? What settings are you using? Why is there no debugging information other than the usual worthless trace information showing it's all deep within the ProviderBase and SqlClient namespace code? How is that supposed to be helpful?
If anyone has anything solid, not guesses, I'd like to know.

hi,
so i have a new box and I'm trying to get my websites and SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition working on it, but the pages give me the following error when I try to load them:
"Cannot Open Database "XXXX" requested by login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'xxx'"
Everything seems exactly the same settings and user-wise from my old box to my new one, but nevertheless everything I've tried gives me the same error.
I've tried creating new users in SQL Server and giving them appropriate permissions to my database. I've even tried just using the built in 'sa' account. Nothing seems to change the error, except when I give it the incorrect password then it just says 'login failed'
This leads me to believe that i'm successfully logging into the SQL Server, but it doesn't want to give me access to the database I'm requesting access too. But "apparently" the account i'm using should have access to the database. If nothing else the 'sa' account should, but that didn't work either.
I'm stumped. Any ideas?

I wanted to check the asymmetric key option in sql 2005. I copied the books online code for creating a asymmetric key and then used this key for creating a login. Now when I try to login without entering any password I am receiving 18456 error. I would like to know what I am missing here. If I use CREATE LOGIN from asymmetric key or certificate how do I login and with what credentials. Do I need to provide any password.CREATE ASYMMETRIC KEY PacificSales09

I have a user who cannot login to a .mdb when he is logged
in to Windows, on his workstation or any other.
No one can login to the .mdb when he is logged in to Windows.
He CAN login to the same .mdb if someone else is logged in
to Windows, either on his workstation or any other.
When the user logs in he gets the following error:

I have removed and recreated the ODBC Connection
while he is logged in. I have tried changing the trusted login to
administrator (in the window that pops up when he fails to connect).
He has the permissions he needs to the .mdb because he can
login under anyone else€™s profile.
I tried copying his profile to a brand new user and ended up
with the same result.
This leads me to wonder if there is some corruption in one

Hi, I'm new to SQL Express 2005.
I found information regarding : "Cannot open user default database. Login failed."on this forum but I think that in my case it's a bit different issue.
I have a website (ASP.NET 2.0) accessing DB, in the mean time Windows Service tries to update some data in the same DB (Service runs as NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM). The second connection is rejected: "Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user ....".
Problem occurs only when both: service and website are running at the same time. So service and website are running without problems when they are connecting DB exclusively.
My connection string is:
"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="|DataDirectory|spider-lab.mdf";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
I would be grateful if you can help me

Hi,
I have a copy of VS2005 and i have installed the Microsoft SQL Server Developer Edition
I am trying to do my first connection using ASP.net (yay for me...) and it has failed...with this error..Login failed for user 'testuser'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
can someone please point out why? yes i know that the error seems pretty straight forward but how do i fix it? like how do i make the user a trusted server connection? where do i do it? and what are the steps? the user is an administrator and by rights should have all access to everything....
connection string
SqlConnection MySQLConnection; MySQLConnection = new SqlConnection("server=cmptrname\databsename;uid=testuser;password=password;database=mytest");
btw while your reading do you have any examples of opening a db with the connection string in the web.config file? because i get some error "connection string has not been initialised" using the
system.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get
i though i would stick to the top code first before i tackled the web config error first....
Thanks heaps

In IIS, is there a problem with having the parent level anonymous and website level windows auth?
