Creating User Accounts
Jan 17, 2005Hi,
how do you create a username and password for a database in SQL.
Thanks
Hi,
how do you create a username and password for a database in SQL.
Thanks
I am reading kb 934164. I am confused about (creating system administrator) domain user accounts....
IN SQL 2005 USER PROVISIONING Tools
under kb934164 8e type a window account by the following format
domain/user 8k Type a windows account by following format domain/user
DO I simply type domain/user or do I actually Type my domain/user account
What is domain user?
In other words where does domain (PASSWORD) come from?
where does user(PASSWORD) come from?
I have being trying to find the answer for this
Is there anything else I need to be prepared for in user
provisioning. By the way do you need to turn off uac in vista while installing
sql 2005....Thanks Is there any examples of this? I just want to get it right....
When creating a login account, it is associated with a default database.
Is it then necessary to grantdbaccess to the default database?
I installed Visual Web Developer on my laptop running on Windows XP Professional (SP2). With this SQL server express edition too got installed. Then I installed SQL server management studio express to manage the databases
I used “windows authentication� to login the SQL server for the first time. Then I found sa password is already there. I was never given the opportunity to set this sa password during the installation. I tired to change it to my own password but I found that it’s not accepting any changes.
Then I tired to create a SQL server account and try to login. I was not allowed. Then through MSDN I got to know that Express Edition does not support mixed mode authentication by default but I have to select that during the installation. But the problem is I was never given the opportunity to select this authentication mode during the install ion.
I tired changing the registry values ( set LoginMode to ‘2�) as instructed in the MSDN to allowe mixed mode. Even after that still I’m not allowed to create sql server accounts with my own passwords. I’m allowed to create accounts but it doesn’t allow me to set the password; every time I check it had replace the password I set to some unknown password which I cannot see due to masking.
Can anyone offer me some advice to understand what’s happening?
Is it possible to rename a SQL Login or User account?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am copying a database to an alternate server by restoring a full backup onto the new server. However, whether I create the logins prior to the restoration or not the user accounts in the database no longer map to logins in the master.
Unfortunately it is not simply a case of dropping the acounts as they own objects in the database.
My best solution to date has been to use the sp_addalias to alias logins of the same name to the original user. However this is a far from ideal situation as one cannot readily tell that the logins are aliased and there must be an additional overhead in doing this.
Ok. So we just moved over one DB from our original server to another server. The DB copied over fine.
Our next step is trying to see if there is a way to move accounts. Is that possible?
We have about 40 accounts (using SQL authentication) on the original server. Is there a way to move or copy those accounts to the new SQL server that is holding that same DB?
Haven't found anything in the Enterprise manager, so im thinking it will be something to do in the SQL analyzer.
My lack of knowledge in SQL is not helping me much here.
I appreciate the help.
Hi
Is it possible to import/export sql server user accounts?
We are moving from Oracle to SQL Server 2005 for our next release and I'm looking for content that describes creating Logins, creating User accounts and what approach to take if the database is using windows authentication vs. SQL authentication.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
I would like to know whether it is possible to start-up SQL Server for selective user accounts in Windows XP.
Say I have 2 user accounts - A and B.
I want A to use SQL Server 2005, but dont want B to use the engine.
Is it possible my any means?
Thanx in advance.
Best Wishes.
hii all;
My question is from 2 sections:
1- Is it secure to put user accounts (userName and password ...) on the database?
2- How can I set username and password for SQL server 2005 express file?
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis has been extremely confusing for me.
I want to just make a simple backup.
first of all when i choose the pick a folder to backup, no mapped drives I make are even THERE.
I realize this is probably related to the account being used, okay I thought let me change the user account to a network admin account... I still cannot see the drive.
Can't this thing just accept whatever I tell it to access like any other program??
You would think they would at least keep the standard Open File dialog so we can use the network browser or something...
I've changed my accounts all to NETWORK SERVICE, then LOCAL SYSTEM, then a DOMAIN ADMIN...
I can't get this to work correctly on this freshly installed server... can someone please help?
I'm at the point where I don't care if i have to just re-install the damn thing...
Just someone please tell me what to pick for the accounts.
Bonus: I have this same issue with reporting services and Services for Unix NFS Mapped drives.
How can I map a drive with NETWORK SERVICE Credentials so it finds the datasource path?
I've only been able to do something like this with psexec and Local System.
When logged in as Domain Admin it will show a disconnected network drive that you cant get rid of but system account can use.
This may be an idiotic question:
I am attempting to use Visual Web Developer Express with a connection to a SQL Express db from a non-admin account on my XP Pro SP2 machine.
I can do everything in the app under an admin login, but can't seem to configure the db to allow the non-admin account access to the db. I've tried tweaking WMI, using Network Service, Local Service, and Local System with NT AUTHORITY, individual logins, and group permissions, but I'm stuck.
Any thoughts?
I am in need of creating a new user for stored procedures execution say sa (to whom i am in need of creating under my user defined db)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI cannot get a consistent answer as to how many domain accounts would be suggested in a SQL Server 2014 installation. Previously the recommendation was a separate account for each service to provide isolation and minimum permissions for each account. It seems from what I've read that a single domain account would have something added to make it unique from SQL Server's perspective. Several still advocate multiple accounts. I don't know if they are doing so because that's the way it's always been done or if there is still some compelling reason to do so. I don't want to create unnecessary accounts simply because something is "ideal."

I've read the instructions in this article: http://www.netomatix.com/Development/aspnetuserpermissions.aspxBut do not know how to do this:You can grant 'Network Service' or 'ASPNET' user accounts permissions to connect to database.Please provide example on how to do this, thanks!
Do we still need the below service accounts in SQL 2008+ version even if we have proper SQL service accounts added in the logins?
[NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM]
[NT ServiceMSSQLSERVER]
[NT SERVICEReportServer]
[NT SERVICESQLSERVERAGENT]

I would like to limit the role of an user In Visual Studio only to assign roles to other users for the cubes. Other than that the user should not be able to create / delete the exisiting cubes or dimensions.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a root domain and child domain.
After using ADMT to migrate the domain user or group into the root domain, when I use enterprise manager to try and change the permissions allocated to that domain user/group, i get the 'Error 15401 NT user or Group not found'.
This is a correct error as the user is now in the root domain, however sql (in sysxlogins) still thinks its in the child domain.
Is there a simpler way, other than collecting the users permissions, deleting the user from SQL then adding back in with the correct domainusername format, then adding the permissions back?
I tried renaming the 'name' in sysxlogins (not recommended) and while that worked, whenever I tried to add the migrated user to another database, the login name was missing and would not resolve.
I believe it is something to do with the SID not matching.
Any ideas on how to fix this ?
I am trying to create a database setup script that will work on various OS languages. One of the things the set up script has to do is grant permissions to the NETWORK SERVICE account. This is simple when we are running on the English version of Windows with the command:
Code Block
CREATE USER [NetworkService] WITH LOGIN [NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE];
Unfortunately, if you run this on a French language version of Windows, the login is called something like [NT AUTORITESERVICE RUSSEAU] or something similar. This causes the script to fail.
I think I should be able to get around this by using the well known SID for this account (S-1-5-20) and SUSER_SNAME() to resolve to the name for the account in the local language.
Here is the code I've written:
Code Block
SET @user = quotename(SUSER_SNAME(0x010100000000000514000000));
SELECT @user;
CREATE USER [NetworkService] FOR LOGIN @user;
Everything seems to be working up to the last line. The SELECT @user line returns [NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE] on my English language server as expected. Unfortunately, the last line results in a syntax error.
This may be a really dumb question, but I'm not really a DB developer, so I'm stumped. Any ideas on how I could make this work?
Thanks,
Bill
I'm trying to create a user from a powerbuilder application through powerscript.
I'm trying to create first the login using sp_addlogin

Plz does someone know what should I do?
I'm not in our IT section but am responsible for the running of a finance application on SQL 2000.
I want a Read only user set-up on the SQL DB so that we can use Crystal and Access to look at the tables.
IT have some concerns with this as they say it by passes all security.
Are they spinning me a line?? Surely read oonly is read only? Can a user be restricted to a specific database as there are a number running on the same server.
Many thanks for any advice comments.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have noticed that some folks create a user to own a schema, with both having the same name (ex: userowner = pfm schema = pfm) and others make dbo the owner for all their schemas. From what I can tell, it doesn't really matter; what does matter is if your database users are granted access to the schema. Since most users only have public rights and dbo has database owner rights, is there any particular reasoning to use one scenario over the other?
Hello - I am using the generic aspnetdb membership database (aspnet_regsql.exe) which I am currently connecting to as a sysadmin user from my website (via web.config). Before going live with my first website I now want to create a sql user for the website to login with, with the minimum permissions required to run the website - the reason for this is to make the db more secure.
I have created a new sql user and am now looking at what acces they should have. I am OK giving them the required access to the NEW views, sprocs and tables I have created to link in with the generic aspnetdb database etc... however how do I know what access they require to all the BUILT-IN tables, sprocs, views etc. Also, when I am viewing Securables it also brings up all the MASTER DB sprocs, etc.. - will the user need access to these? Should I add the new user to a database role - which one? (currently I have not given the new user a database role) This is the first time I will have created a sql user for an asp.net website so any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers

hello everybody
I'm trying to create a new user for a database using the enterprise manager but it doesn't ask me for a password
does anybody know why?
thanks for any help.
Hi there,
I am setting up a database for the first time using SQL Server Express.
I have managed to create a database and create a table with data etc, all straight forward.
The problem I am having is when I come to creating a user for the database. I have the following users in there already, which I am guessing are put in by default:
dbo
guest
INFORMATION_SCHEMA
sys
When I try creating a new user via this screen I get the following error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
------------------------------
Create failed for User 'growstudiouser'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.3042.00&EvtSrc=Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ExceptionTemplates.FailedOperationExceptionText&EvtID=Create+User&LinkId=20476
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

------------------------------
I was wondering if anybody could advise me as to what I'm doing wrong. I am typing in the name as "growstudiouser" and the login name as "growstudio".
Or am I just using the wrong section to do what I want. I'm trying to create a user so that when the database is built I can connect to it using a username and password that I have created. I'm not sure I'm taking to the correct route as there is no password option anywhere when creating a new user.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
Hi,
I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services
When I try to create a new DataBase (*.mdf) in Visual Studio 2005, I get an error " Unable to create user instance. This option has been disabled"
How should I overcome this issue?
When I try to create user using ent manager in mssql2000 it gives me error that there is already such user.But it actualy doesn't exists.
How to solve this problem?
I'm running mssql 2005. And any stored procedure I create in the master database gets created as system procedures since recently. I have created procs in the master database as user procs previously. As sp_MS_upd_sysobj_category is not supported in mssql 2005, does anyone know why this is happening.. or how I can rectify it??
Thanks
When creating a user in SQL Server what is a Schema as opposed to a Role?
In the security folder of a database, I also saw the folders "Asymmetric keys", "Certificates", and "symmetric keys". What are these about?
thank you.
