Change Password On Database Master Key
Mar 7, 2007
We are implementing PCI (Payment Card Industry) and one thing that is required is that we change our encryption keys once a year or when a key custodian leaves. The only way that I have seen to do that is to decrypt all the encrypted data, drop and recreate the symmetric key, the certificate, and database master key, and then re-encrypt the data.
Is there any way to just change the password on the database master key? I understand that if the actual symmetric keys have been breached, that would not be enough, but for routine maintenance, just changing the password on the database master key would seem to be enough.
I have looked and looked, but have not found anyone else that is doing this type of thing. Maybe I am just not looking in the right places. Can anyone offer some guidance? Thank!!!

Hi, I'm using the SQL Server Everywhere CTP on the desktop and haven't used SQL Server Mobile in the past.
I'm having some difficulty determining whether it's possible to change a SQL Server Everywhere database's password. Obviously authentication on a file-based SQL Server Everywhere database differs from that of server-based SQL Server database. Is it possible to change a SQL Server Everywhere database's password?
That said, I feel like I've made a decent search of the to change a SQL Server Everywhere books online. If it's not possible to change the password in place (i.e., without copying all data to a new file with a different password), please count this as a vote to add that functionality. Making a database password "permanent" lessens its effectiveness. Thanks,
Curt

Wjen sql 2005 is installed a Service Master key is generated using the password of the account under which sql 2005 server runs.
Suppose I use a domain account to run sql server. The account password will change every so often. I presume this change will not impact the validity of the existing Service master key and therefore any data indirectly encrypted by it. Am I correct?

I have one server out of 6 that lets me logon as SA with the default password

If I run this command to change the password I get password changed, but it
did not change it, I still can logon as SA with the NULL password.

I 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.....
sp_password [ [ @old = ] 'old_password' , ] { [ @new =] 'new_password' } [ , [ @loginame = ] 'login' ]
sp_password 'cust1','cust2','cust1'
Server: Msg 15210, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_password, Line 20Only members of the sysadmin role can use the loginame option. The password was not changed.
I made my user part of the db_securityadmin role, but that does not help...
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.

We have an application using SQLDMO tried to change password. From the trace file, it seems the application used a "SP_password" and the operation failed. However, the application returns its own message which doesn't help us at all in finding the reason. I wonder if SQL server can somehow track the operation(password change) and report a message if it failed.
Does anybody know if SQL server 2005 have such type of functionality? Or what could be the possible reasons of the operation failed. (The new passowrd fullfill the requirement of window policy.)
Thanks

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to change the password on a SQL Server 2000 DTS package programatically instead of justmanually using the the interface?
I have over 150 DTS packages used for building BI data cubes and our password policy requires a password change every 60 days.
I would like to write a windows vb.net application that loops through all the DTS packages and changes the password.
Please advise.
Thanks

I have installed WebMatrix and MSDE and have been able to successfully make a connection from WebMatrix to MSDE. I am used to using SQL Server with Enterprise Manager but I do not have that available to me right now so I'm using MSDE instead. I followed the setup instructions on the WebMatrix tutorial and setup MSDE with an SA password. I would now like to change the password to something else. Is there a command that I can use to do that? There is no Enterprise Manager so I'm kind of stumped. Thanks in advance for your help.

If someone can tell if it is wise change the SA account password after all of your databases have been set up using NT Authentication for login. Also, by using the sa password at login are you providing more security and and who should have access to that password (Your developers or your Administrators?)
Thanks

Ugh! Someone changed the password of our SQL Server service account. It is called syssql, and it is used by the MSSQLServer and SQL Executive services to log in at startup. After the password was changed, we noticed that replication wasn’t running, and since I know that replication uses the Executive service, I restarted that service using the new password. That worked to get replication working again, and since the boxes were production machines I didn’t restart the MSSQLServer service with the new password yet. Now, our syssql account keeps on locking up every so often, and scheduled tasks that use xp_sendmail stopped working, and alerts stopped sending. Is this happening because of the MSSQLServer service still being logged in with the old password? I suspect that the SQL Mail logs in through the MSSQLServer service, which is still using the old password, and the login failures are causing the syssql account to lock. Any other ideas???

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?
