Custom Security Extension: How To Give Access To Everyone

May 29, 2007

Hi All,

My application is currently integration with reporting services using custom security extension. I have my own USER and ROLE database to determine who/which role can access certain reports.

My question is how to give access a report to be viewable by everyone? I dont want to assign all users or all roles to achieve this.

The other thing that I found out is, let say I change the name one of the user/role. Because of this, the authorization will fail because the old name/role is not in the DB anymore. Is this expected? or is there a workaround it?

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Issue In Custom Security Extension

Aug 22, 2006

Hi,

The custom security extension generates the following error, when try to access Report Manager. The specifications are as follows.
1. Its 64-bit SQL Server (Reporting Services) and installed as default instance.
2. The Report Server is accessible programmatically. I can publish, view reports without problems, but Report Manager gives an error.
3. Another instance (named instance) of Reporting Services with the same custom security extension on same server is working fine. Report Manager opens up without problems.
4. Both the instances working fine since 3 installation and configuration (3 months back). Now, only the Report Manager of the default instance is not openeing up.

I follow the instructions here to deploy the sample security extension: http://www.codeplex.com/MSFTRSProdSamples/Wiki/View.aspx?title=SS2005!Security%20Extension%20Sample&referringTitle=Home

After I have configure the config files and created the "UserAccounts" database I restart the IIS and tried to connect to Report Manager at http://localhost/Reports

This is the error i got: The report server is not responding. Verify that the report server is running and can be accessed from this computer.

Implement CheckAccess In Custom Security Extension With Non-builtin Roles

Jan 21, 2008

Roles Table:

RoleID, RoleName
<RoleID1>, Allow_ClientFolder
<RoleID2>, Allow_ClientReportA
<RoleID3>, Allow_ClientReportB
<RoleID4>, Allow_CompanyFolder
<RoleID5>, Allow_CompanyReportA
<RoleID6>, Allow_CompanyReportB

UsersInRoles Table:

UserID, RoleID
<UserID1>, <RoleID1>
<UserID1>, <RoleID2>
<UserID2>, <RoleID4>
<UserID2>, <RoleID5>
<UserID2>, <RoleID6>
<UserID2>, <RoleID1>
<UserID2>, <RoleID3>

e.g.
when the <UserID1> clicks on the "home" link show only "Client" folder and when <UserID1> clicks on the "Client" folder only "ClientReportA" will show.

Here is the accessable map for each user:

<UserID1>
Client

ClientReportA

<UserID2>
Client

ClientReportB
Company

CompanyReportA
CompanyReportB

Question:
What is the best way to implement CheckAccess? At first I thought I can access the item names and I can test authorization through that, but AceCollection contains operation permission of the accessing object.

Custom Security Extension - Authorization Questions Using Forms Authentication

Nov 9, 2007

Greetings. I have developed our own custom security extension, implemented forms based authentication, and can authenticate from report manager, report server and sql studio. So far so good.

However, when it comes to Authorization, i'm unclear in a few areas and would appreciate if someone could help me out with the following questions. It should be noted that in the code I have granted an administrator user full access to all operations and permissions, and then tested against both an administrator user and a normal user.

IAuthorizationExtension.GetPermissions summary says

"Returns the set of permissions granted a specific user for an item in the report server database."

Inparticular, the secDesc parameter is supposed to contain the security descriptor associated with the item.

However, with our extension this parameter is always null, even if I have already granted access for a user, which is confirmed through logging in CreateSecurityDescriptor.

Through the report manager or sql studio I can see that the permissions have been created, so I can't understand why I never see them in the GetPermissions method? This then (seems to) flow through to the various CheckAccess methods, where the users are authenticated, but are not authorized to perform any operations. i.e. in report manager a user has no folders or reports available.

Is RS authorization designed around the concept that the details will always be stored in it's own database?

Ideally, we'd like to have the various roles, users and function authorizations defined in our own security framework. This is working great for the authentication aspect of the extension, but unless there is a mechanism which exposes the details of the particular authorization process (e.g. the name of the folder being viewed or report being run), then I can't see a way we can implement it. Unless i'm missing something fundamental of course!

Using Report Builder as the Administrator user (or any other user), I can see no data models available, even though I have created them via Report Manager, and I get the following exception trying to open up the list of reports:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The permissions granted to user '' are insufficient for performing this operation. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user '' are insufficient for performing this operation. at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ListChildrenAction.PerformActionNow() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.RSSoapAction.Execute() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2005.ListChildren(String Item, Boolean Recursive, CatalogItem[]& CatalogItems)

I have implemented a report server proxy (inherited from ReportService2005) as per the example, to pass through the authorization cookie. Any clues as to what could be wrong?

Finally, I suspect part of my problem may be in assignment of users to System Roles ("System Administrator" and "System User"), I'm not sure if these are meant only for Windows Authentication? I can see no way of assigning these roles to any of my users using Forms Authentication.

Thanks for any help or advice you can give!

Reporting Service 2005, Custom Security Extension Failed.

Mar 10, 2006

Hi,

I am trying the get the custom security extension samples to work on my machine. I have installed everything according the sameple help file. However, i am getting a "Authentication Ticket is not issued by LogonUser." error after I attempted to log on to the report manager thru UILogon.aspx page. I already created an admin user. Upon a closer inspection, I realized that the authentication went thru okay, however, the authentication Ticket Name contained in the "RSAuthenticationHeader" has a duplicate value of "sqlauthticket, sqlauthticket". So apparently, the report server added this value twice to the response header. Has anyone seen this error before? How would you fix it? Also to bypass this error, I parsed out the header and take the correct auth ticket name, now report manager just redisplays the logon page and not letting me thru. Has anyone have seen that before? I am running in Win 2003 server, IIS 6, .NET 2.0 and SQL server 2005 enterprise version.

Thanks for the help,

Eric

Custom Data Extension - Security Error On Report Server

Mar 21, 2007

I have written CDE to retrieve and process data before generating the report. It works very well inside VS.Net. However, when deployed to the report server I get the following error

An error has occurred during report processing. Cannot create a connection to data source 'CallsTaken'. Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

I have added appropriate CAS entry in rssrvpolicy.config file as following

<CodeGroup

class="UnionCodeGroup"

version="1"

Name="CustomDataExtensionCodeGroup"

Description="Code group for the Custom Data Extension"

PermissionSetName="FullTrust">

<IMembershipCondition

class="UrlMembershipCondition"

version="1"

Url="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2Reporting ServicesReportServerinCSS.CustomDataExtension.dll"/>

</CodeGroup>

I have added appropriate entry into rsreportserver.config for data extension as

<Extension Name="Dataset Extension" Type="CSS.RS.Extensibility.CustomDataExtension.DsConnectionWrapper, CSS.CustomDataExtension"/>

Even then I continue to get this error. Any help? Is there anything else I am missing? I am using VS .Net 2005, SRSS 2005 on W23 machine.

I have been stuck here for a while now. Help is appreciated.

Thanks

Basic Authentication Vs Security Extension For Internet/Xtranet RS Access

Dec 19, 2007

does anybody know why MS doesnt consider Basic Authentication a viable solution for Inter/Xtra net access to RS? I'm re reading the documentation at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb283249.aspx but so far am not getting what the Security Extension options accomplish that can't be accomplished with much less effort using some form of Basic Authentication.

Custom Security Extension - Report Manager And Report Server On Different Machines

Sep 19, 2007

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy Reporting Services on an Internet-facing web server using a custom security extension (forms authentication). We will be putting Report Manager on the Web Server outside of the firewall, and Report Server on another machine inside the firewall. When testing the solution in a development environment with Report Manager and Report Server on the same box, the solution works fine.

When testing it using the Internet-facing environment described above, it almost works but there seems to be an issue with the authentication cookie that is generated. Here's what happens:

1. User enters credentials on UILogon.aspx and submits form.
2. In the code-behind, LogonUser() is called through a web service proxy and the authentication cookie is returned successfully. The code used here to set the cookie is the same code used in the Forms Authentication sample that ships with RS2005.
3. The user is redirected to Folder.aspx, and the request hangs for a while, and eventually kicks you back out to UILogon.aspx, as if it lost the authentication cookie. When doing a trace on the HTTP header, the cookie is still there.

Is there anything special I need to do to make the Report Server "see" the cookie when I have Report Manager and Report Server on different machines?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Mike

Custom Data Extension (CDE) For SQL Express

Oct 25, 2007

Hi all,

My query should be pretty simple to answer by the gurus. I have SQL Server Express Advance series installed at my system along with VS 2005. I tried the reporting services (remote mode) to display a report in the report viewer on my aspx page. The report simply uses an SQL query to get the result. Everything works fine and dandy!

However if i want to get data from my own data set, i used a webservice and ussed the XML data source option in the report to traverse through the XML. In the preview mode of the RDL everything works fine however when i deploy or rather run it using report viewer on my webpage, it gives an error that 'XML' has not been registered as an extension etc.

I looked in the rsserver config file, it IS configured. The only answer i have is that the EXPRESS version of SQL only supports the regular SQL data sources. I do not understand if that was the case, why does the preview mode work fine??

If i am correct then for the next release the ms developers should disable that or rather give a more meaning full error. I spent an entire day fideling around just to find out that it isnt supported with debates all over the place as to why in the world does it work in the preview mode?

Anyhoo, to get around that issue, i am wondering if the Custom Data Extension would work on the SQL Express or not? I am assuming it wouldnt. Please clearify this. Ideally all i want is to access my own data set in the report, no SQL queries or whatever, CDE seems the way forward but does SQL Express allow it?

Many thanks guyz.

Regards

Zeeshan
(btw, its only been two days since i started working with reporting services, so be gentle :-D )

Custom Data Processing Extension With Dataset

Feb 8, 2007

I have been getting to grips with writing a custom data processing extension for using a supplied dataset. I have got it working OK so far, but I don't see how to make use of relational data. There's plenty of code for walking through the fields, but nothing to walk through the tables. Since this clearly has to be possible can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

Mar 30, 2007

Target: RS2000, Oracle-DB

I build a CDE on the base of the FSi-Example.
Deploying worked fine

here is the problem:
I build a new shared data source, but can't edit the connection string. the button disables itself. why?
Therefore I copied the string from an existing datasource.
I supplied the auth-data and all seemed to be fine.
when i want to build a dataset with this datasource, I get something like this:
"no connection to database possible
check connection string and test connection. "

But this is not possible because of the disabled edit button.

Can anyone help please? What's wrong?

dev-pc and server are not the same machine.

I have following all the steps but I am getting this error:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio

The designer extension DATASET could not be loaded. Check the configuration file RSReportDesigner.config.

Forms Security Extension Sample

Mar 9, 2006

Hi,

I have installed the SSRS 2005 Forms based login security extension as per the sample and instructions that come with the product install. I have double checked my work and debugged up to the point explained here.

My user is in the database and I can get to the login page. I have traced the code and can see the user being authenticated properly by server.LogonUser, the authentication cookie being created and placed in the response object, and then the redirect url being set to the reports/pages/folder.aspx. I have employed tcptrace and can see the sqlAuthCookie set in subsequent posts.

Unfortunately the redirect to folder.aspx never happens. I keep returning to UILogon.aspx. I think their is something either wrong with the auth cookie or the web.config in the ReportServer IIS virtual directory. The relevant xml from the web.config is attached below.

I would appreciate any thoughts. I am running on W2K3 SP1. Thanks.

Mitch

Can You Set Up Forms Authentication Without A Security Extension?

Mar 13, 2007

On my current project we have a requirement to re-authenticate the user when accessing sensitive information.

We want re-authenticate using standard NT logins against Active Directory (not a custom database or SSO.

This is trivial to configure using Basic Authentication, however I would like to use an ASP.NET login form. I would like to avoid writing a security extension as I do not want to perform custom authentication. I would like the web service to use it's built in authentication and authorisation mechanisms.

Is the above possible???

The following gives some more details about wht I've tried.

I have tried configuring the report server/manager with Forms authentication as in the sample but cannot get it to work with out implementing the security extensions.

I changed the web.config files and the policy files for permissioning my dll with FullTrust. I did not configure an extension as I want reporting services to use it's built in windows security mechanisms.

In the login page code behind I call the ReportingService2005.LogonUser() method which always throws the following exception:
Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with the error message: --

Extracting Parameter Values From A Custom Data Processing Extension

Jun 23, 2006

I've created a custom Data Processing Extension and I've implemented the IDBCommandAnalysis interface so that my reports can enter parameters and pass them to my Data Processing Extension.

My question is, how do I extract the value from the Parameters coming from the report? Where do the parameters get passed off from the report? I can query the Parameters collection and my report gets prompted in Preview mode to enter something for the parameter but I can't find the spot where it gets passed for processing.

App.Config Files In A Custom Database Extension Class Library

Aug 15, 2006

Good Morning..

We're having a heck of a good time trying to implement our first CDE project in SSRS 2005.

In our SDE class library we have included an App.Config file where we want to store configuration settings..

Trouble is that when we view the configuration settings or connection string settings in debug mode, they're not being read for some reason..

Here's our app.config file:
-------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuration>

<configSections>

</configSections>

<appSettings>

<add key="eventLogName" value="FocusDPEEventLog" />

</appSettings>

<connectionStrings>

<add name="PassConnString" connectionString="Data Source=SOMEDATASOURSE;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=SOMEUSERNAME;Password=SOMEPASSWORD;Unicode=True"

providerName="System.Data.OracleClient" />

</connectionStrings>

</configuration>

-------------------------------------------------------------
Here's what our Immediate window Debugger is tellin' us about our configuration settings:

-------------------------------------------------------------

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings

{System.Configuration.KeyValueInternalCollection}

[System.Configuration.KeyValueInternalCollection]: {System.Configuration.KeyValueInternalCollection}

base {System.Collections.Specialized.NameObjectCollectionBase}: {System.Configuration.KeyValueInternalCollection}

AllKeys: {Dimensions:[0]}<----incorrect should be 1

ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings

Count = 1 <----ok, is one, but the wrong 1, see 3 lines down...

base {System.Configuration.ConfigurationElementCollection}: Count = 1

ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[0]

{data source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true}<--Should be PassConnString

base {System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement}: {data source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true}

ConnectionString: "data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true"

Name: "LocalSqlServer"

ProviderName: "System.Data.SqlClient"

Now notice the stuff in bold...I have NO IDEA where this gosh-danged thing is reading, but it doesn't seem like it's the app.config file in our class library...

thanks..

Visual Studio Report Deployment With Custom Forms Authentication Extension

Oct 9, 2007

Hey, I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on an issue. I've got the authentication portion of a custom security extension working properly (while authorization is just sort of giving everyone a pass) and all of my Googling efforts seem to be bearing little fruit. Now that authentication is in place, whenever I try to deploy a report from Visual Studio, it comes up with an error.

The error is that it is getting the authentication html login page set in web.config (as I expected), while it was looking for an xml page. I'm a bit new to this side of things so I'm not really even sure where I should be looking to see what kind of xml page it wants and such.

I don't need anyone to bother explaining the entire thing to me as I should be able to figure it out once I can get a start, but as I said I just need a kick in the right direction because my Google-fu has failed

Problem With Forms Security Extension Sample - RS 2005

Feb 21, 2007

I am attempting to deploy the sample Security Extensions. When I navigate to <machinename>/reports in IE, it works fine and I am able to register the administrator. The user exists in the table correctly, but I am unable to login as the user. It keeps going back to the same uilogon.aspx redirect page.

It appears to be a similar error as http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=289636&SiteID=17

However, I am using the machine name the entire name, never referring to it as localhost. Any ideas? Thanks!

How Do I Give A User Access To SQL Server?

Sep 7, 2006

Hi all

I tried using my administrator account to add SQLServer as an ODBC Connection, but for some reason when it tries authenticating it fails and the reason is that the user is not trusted to use that connection. Yet on my account i've created on my domain works perfectly.

I've added a new user in SQL Enterprise manager, but i still get that error.

How do I set the user to be trusted to use the connection?

Any and as many assists on this would be great.

Using Saxon's SQL Extension To Access SQL Server Through The JDBC Driver

May 21, 2008

I'm having a heck of a time trying to access a SQL server database using Saxon's SQL extensions with the Microsoft SQL server JDBC driver. The Saxon XSL processor has implemented some SQL extensions that allow you to access a SQL database through a JDBC driver. I have Visual Studio 2005 professional with SQL server express installed on my workstation. The SQL server express installation is installed at the default 1433 port on my workstation, it has been setup to accept connections over TCP and has been configured to accept Windows authentication and SQL authentication. In addition, I have downloaded and installed Microsoft's JDBC driver for SQL server.

After installing the JDBC driver I added the JDBC sqljdbc.jar to my Java CLASSPATH. Then I built a simple Saxon XSL that made use of the SQL extensions:

Code Snippet
<xsl:transform version="2.0"
exclude-result-prefixes="java saxon xsd xsi xsl xfn xdt xqe"
extension-element-prefixes="saxon sql"
xmlns:java="http://saxon.sf.net/java-type"
xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/"
xmlns:sql="java://net.sf.saxon.sql.SQLElementFactory"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>
<xsl:output method="text" media-type="text/plain" encoding="utf-8" />
<xsl:preserve-space elements="*" />
<xsl:param name="jdbc.driver" as="xsd:string" select="string('com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver')" />
<xsl:param name="jdbc.database" as="xsd:string" select="string('jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=prototype')" />
<xsl:param name="jdbc.user" as="xsd:string" select="string('saxon')" />
<xsl:param name="jdbc.pass" as="xsd:string" select="string('*****')" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="element-available('sql:connect')">
<xsl:variable name="sql.conn" as="java:java.sql.Connection">
<sql:connect driver="{$jdbc.driver}" database="{$jdbc.database}" user="{$jdbc.user}" password="{$jdbc.pass}">
<xsl:fallback>
<xsl:message terminate="yes">SQL extenstions are not installed</xsl:message>
</xsl:fallback>
</sql:connect>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="sql.employees" as="element()*">
<sql:query connection="$sql.conn" table="dbo.Employees" column="*" />
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:sequence select="$sql.employees" />
<sql:close connection="$sql.conn" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:message terminate="yes">sql:connect element is not available</xsl:message>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

When I run the Java version of Saxon it issues a JDBC connection failure:

SXSQ0003: JDBC Connection Failure: The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed.
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported

After some discussion on the Saxon listserv, I hacked a sample in the Microsoft JDBC documentation to see whether a standard Java program could use the JDBC driver and access the database:

Code Snippet
import java.sql.*;
public class connectURL {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a variable for the connection string.
String connectionUrl = "" +
"jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1443" +
";databaseName=prototype";
// Declare the JDBC objects.
Connection con = null;
Statement stmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
// Establish the connection.
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl, args[0], args[1]);
// Create and execute an SQL statement that returns some data.
String SQL = "SELECT * FROM dbo.Employees";
stmt = con.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery(SQL);
// Iterate through the data in the result set and display it.
while (rs.next()) {
System.out.println(rs.getString(1) + " " + rs.getString(2) + " " + rs.getString(3) + " " + rs.getString(4));
}
}
// Handle any errors that may have occurred.
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
if (rs != null) try { rs.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
if (stmt != null) try { stmt.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
if (con != null) try { con.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
}
}
}

This Java application accesses SQL server express and prints out the list of employees from the dbo.Employees table in the database:

Code Snippet
-- Create the table definition.
CREATE TABLE dbo.Employees
(
empid INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
mgrid INT NULL REFERENCES dbo.Employees,
empname VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
salary MONEY NOT NULL,
CHECK (empid <> mgrid)
);
GO

-- Insert test data.
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 1, NULL, N'David' , $10000.00 );
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 2, 1, N'Eitan', $7000.00 );
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 3, 1, N'Ina', $7500.00 );
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 4, 2, N'Seraph', $5000.00 );
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 5, 2, N'Jiru', $5500.00 );
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 6, 2, N'Steve', $4500.00 );
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 7, 3, N'Aaron', $5000.00 );
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 8, 5, N'Lilach', $3500.00 );
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 9, 7, N'Rita', $3000.00 );
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 10, 5, N'Sean', $3000.00 );
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 11, 7, N'Gabriel', $3000.00 );
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 12, 9, N'Emilia', $2000.00 );
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 13, 9, N'Michael', $2000.00 );
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees( empid, mgrid, empname, salary )
VALUES( 14, 9, N'Didi', $1500.00 );
GO

-- Create unique index.
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idxManagerEmployee ON dbo.Employees( mgrid, empid );
GO

Internally, Saxon uses almost the exact same code, e.g., three argument DriverManager.getConnection, but the call fails. Michael Kay, has indicated that this issue isn't related to Saxon since the error message coming from Saxon indicates that Saxon is finding the JDBC driver and issuing the connection request, but the JDBC driver is failing.

Has anyone tried to use Saxon's SQL extensions with Microsoft's JDBC driver? If you have could you indicate how you have things setup to make it work? If anyone from Microsoft's JDBC driver team is listening, would you be will to help recreate this issue or help trying to diagnose the issue?

Thanks, Andy.

How To Give ASPNET Account Permission To Access DB's

Jun 16, 2005

I'm creating one of my first asp.net pages, and it accesses an MS SQL database.It runs fine locally, but if you go to it remotely through a web browser, you get an exception saying that the database login failed for user ASPNET.My brother told me to do the following in SQL Server Managment studio. It seems I don't have that program installed, so I did it from the SQL command prompt.CREATE LOGIN [bigblueASPNET] FROM WINDOWSuse AdventureWorkscreate user [bigblueASPNET](Where "bigblue" is the computer name and "AdventureWorks" is the database my asp.net web page reads from).This only partially fixed the problem - now when you open the page remotely and try to access the DB I get an error message saying that permission to use the SELECT command is denied.I searched on these forums, and found this:http://forums.asp.net/69166/ShowPost.aspxFor future reference, let's call what my brother told me "Method 1" and what the previous poster did as "Method 2."I haven't tried method 2 because I don't know exactly what I am giving ASPNET permission to do. Does method 2 enable ASPNET to do anything to any database? It seems method 1 is more secure, as from the commands I could already tell it only has permission to access AdventureWorks.So, I'd prefer to use method 1. Can anyone tell me what further commands I can use to give ASPNET permission to do specific actions?If I can't figure out method 1 and have to do method 2, how can I undo what I did in method 1?Thanks!
