Change SQL Server Authentication Programmatically

Jul 23, 2005

Hi,

Does anyone here know whether it is possible to change the
authentication method of a SQL server instance programmatically, rather
than going through enterprise manager.

I am using SQL-DMO (under C#) for some other things, but the
documentation is so bad that I can't find out whether what I want to do
can be done. I have also tried googling but came up empty handed.

I hope that someone can help me.

Cheers
Jono

SQL Server 2008 :: Database In Single-user Mode / How To Change It Programmatically

Mar 10, 2015

Recently we had multiple production failures because one database was in single-user mode. I am trying to recreate this scenario to write a script that will kick out that connection that was holding database in single-user.In SSMS window 1 I run the following code:

use master
go
alter database test
set single_user
with rollback immediate

[code]....

Yes, it shows one record, but the database name is master, not test. And indeed, I run it from the context of master. Also tried sp_who, sp_who2, sys.dm_exec_requests - nothing works. For dm_exec_requests it shows nothing because it does not run at the current moment.Any other solutions to catch this SPID with a script?

Server Authentication Change Question

Nov 13, 2007

Hello-
I recently inherited a SQL 2005 Standard database that I am being asked to change the Server authentication mode for. SQL system is managing a local database for Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003. Currently the system is running in SQL Server & Windows authentication mode. I am going to change it to Windows Authentication mode. Can someone point me to a checklist I could refer to before I make the change to be sure I don't take down my database?

Thanks in advance.

ASP Authentication With SQL Server 2005 - Not Express, Permanent Change

May 8, 2006

Hi all,
I've read up on the fact that if you use SQL server 2005 instead of SQL express you need to change the connection string in web.config.
Is there anyway to make this default connection type, or do I have to do it for every website I create. i.e. is there a global file that this connection can be entered into. Then whenever I start a new website I don't have to put the string in.
Just me being lazy really. But it's nice to know if it's possible.
 
Many thanks

Cannot Change Server Authentication In Management Studio Express

Jul 18, 2006

I use the Mangement Studio Express to manage a MSDE 2000 instance and notice that the Server authentication area in the Security is disabled for that instance. But for an Express instance, the Server authentication area is enabled. Is this difference caused by some settings?


Thanks,

Peter

Programmatically Change Property

Apr 24, 2006

In the old DTS, we can use the ActiveX Script to change any task's property programmatically.

Can we still do it in SSIS? Using the Script task? It seems changing the value of variables then use a expression can do some of the work, but what if a task has no expression defined?

Say, I want to change the Fuzzy look up reference table name.

Can we do it?

How To Change Password To Dts Package Programmatically?

Jun 19, 2007

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

Change Mdf To Sql Authentication

Sep 13, 2007

I have a web app, designed using VWD Express and using SQL 2005 Express. It has a mdf database called "client". It was created using security of windows authentication. I have already changed my instance of sql server express to accept mixed windows and sql authentication.
 How do I change my "client" database's permissions to the sql authentication? I need to add a user name and password as a requirement for my web host to be able to attach the mdf to their instance of sql 2005. It has to be the same user and password as I use with my web host's sql server 2005.
Thank you in advance.

Need To Change Developers Acct To Windows Authentication

Jul 20, 2005

I have my SQL 7.0 server set for Mixed security. I see now (finally)the advantages of having windows authentication security for windowsgroups.I do most of my developing in Access Projects which require a login ofsome type. I have been using my SQL login to develop with SQL andthen when I give it to the user, I set the project to use Windowsauthentication. I want to be able to have Windows authentication onmy domain account but the user name for my windows account is the sameas my SQL account and it won't let me change the existing account.Now what happens is after I develop the product I have to have theuser login and go in and change to windows authentication. It won'tlet me do it with my sql account.I fear that if I delete my sql account and create a windowsauthentication account all the views, sps, etc. that I have createdwill still have the reference to the sql login and therefore not work.Do I need to have a generic sql account for developing? One thought Ihad was to create a new domain account so I can create that windowslogin and at least get my most recent projects working like I want to?Hope this makes sense to someone.Thanks in advance for your time.Sherry

DB Engine :: Authentication After Password Change On MSAs

Jul 30, 2015

We are experiencing authentication/ Kerberos issues after a password for the MSA's has changed. We use MSA for our SQL 2012 and windows 2012 combination Servers. This errors creates issues while backing up and Service Broker connectivity.We had to restart sql services to fix it, but this not seem to be a resolution for me because the next time the password changes on these MSA's we may have to restart sql services.There seems to be a known issue for windows 2008 R2 servers and fix is available and we incorporated it. But the issue we are facing is on windows 2012 Server.

Change Authentication Method In A Local Database File

Apr 13, 2007

I have made a small asp.net project which uses a local database file as a part of the project. The project is running fine om my local machine, but when I upload it to the remote server, the login fails for the server.

I suspect this is can be solved by using sqlserver authentication. But I have now spent a lot of time trying to configure the database file to use this authentication mode. As I see it there are three possible solutions to the problem.



use management studio express to configure the local mdf file (Ecxept that I cant find out how to connect to the mdf-file) and from here change the authentication method to sqlserver authentication.
use Visual Web developer to change the authentication method (but how???)
make the windows authentication work on the server (this would probably require that mannamgement studio express connects to the remote database. (Same problem as no 1)

Help will be higly appreciated.

Setup And Upgrade :: Windows Authentication Not Working After Password Change?

Apr 29, 2015

This morning I attempted to connect to my local copy of SQL Server (2012) (Win 7) using Windows Authentication. I was unable to do so and per the error log it was due to error 18456 (invalid credentials).

Yesterday I changed my windows password. Is it possible for this to be the cause?

FYI, following is from the error logs:

2015-04-27 10:10:32.98 Backup BACKUP DATABASE successfully processed 0 pages in 0.451 seconds (0.000 MB/sec).2015-04-28 00:00:41.90 spid18s This instance of SQL Server has been using a process ID of 2096 since 4/21/2015 9:08:05 AM (local) 4/21/2015 1:08:05 PM (UTC).

This is an informational message only. No user action is required.

The logs showed the error occurred yesterday (4/28) which is about when I changed my password. The 17:09 log (last one) is when I shut down my computer.  Note that I was logged into SQL Server when I changed my Windows password and worked with it several times through out the day.

Also, per the configuration manager SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) (and all other services) is stopped and I was unable to start it ("The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion).

Web Part Deserialization Error When Trying To Change Report Viewer Web Part Programmatically.

Oct 29, 2007



I have SSRS 2005 SP2 configured to work in Sharepoint integration. Everything works fine except that I am not able to programmatically change any property of report viewer web part (instance) that I have added on on home page of my sharepoint site.
I can do same thing via sharepoint UI but not through program. When my programs runs it fetches all web parts been added on home page, then I need to iterate through each one and find report viewer web part.
While iterating, as soon as I arrive to report viewer web part it is named as "Error web part" with error message as
"Windows SharePoint Services cannot deserialize the Web Part. Check the format of the properties and try again"

If someone has a solution, please respond at your earlist.

Thanks

Report Manager With Forms Authentication. Report Server With Windows Authentication.

Feb 1, 2008

Hi.

I wonder if it is possible to set forms authentication for report manager but leave report server "as it is". I need to authenticate users from external LDAP and can't use windows authentication for report manager, but I would also like to leave report server open for anonymous users. In that way authenticated administrators could create reports which anonymous users could read.

I tested the Security Extension Sample and got it working when I rewrote the authentication part with my own LDAP authentication.

If I have understood correctly, the report manager is just application inside report server so is it possible to use forms authentication with one application but still leave the report server with Windows authentication?

Aug 14, 2001

Hi,

I need to figure out what kind of Authentication , I need to use for following applicaiton

Product : -

1 ) It resides on a its Domain and has access to Database on that Domain.
2 ) We have a application level login , n based on application login id
display specific pages.

The question that bother me is this

Q ) If i use NT authentication , then a user will be required to

a ) Login to domain (with userid and password) first and then

b ) Then i would require to again login to applicaiton with application
level login and password.(different levels of login as there)
Based on the application level login i will display only specific
asp pages. They have different access rights..and roles.

Requirment is to login only once..and it should authenticate to application display specific pages and authenticate to SQl server database also..

Is there any way thru which i can map my application level login to SQl server.. and what authentication should i use..

Thanks,
