DB Engine :: Using Kerberos Authentication With Server Alias
Jul 30, 2015
I use DNS alias to access my database server:
server name is -> SRV100
DNS Alias is -> SQLPROD
I've noticed that, using Windows authentication, if I connect to the server using its server name, the DB Engine uses Kerberos authentication scheme (as it is supposed to do) but if I use Kerberos authentication, I see that the DB Engine uses the NTLM authentication
scheme
select client_net_address,auth_scheme from sys.dm_exec_connectionsÂ
I need to use DNS alias to connect to my server and I want to use Kerberso auth scheme.

i have a cluster running win2k and SQL server2k, the app on the server uses kerberos authentication. all works fine until we need to flip the cluster over - then the registration of the SPN fails - this means we need to keep registering the SPN manually - a bit of a pain and sometimes people foget to register it causing us lots of grief.
does anyone know of a way we can get the SPN to register automatically?

Hallo there,
I just upgraded from Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista Bussiness and tried to reinstall SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition. After the installation i downloaded (using microsoft windows update) and installed all the service packs for sql and vista available.
My problem is when i open sql server management studio and try to connect to my default instance using windows authentication and database engine, an 18456 error occurs.
I enabled all the protocols and all the ports
I disabled windows firewall and antivirus (eset nod32)
I installed all service packs available
I have also installed Visual Studio 2005 without installing sqlexpress
But nothing happens!
Please i am very desperate, any information will be gratefully accepted.

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.

We will be moving 2 different databases (SS2005 & SS2008) to a new SS2014 SQL Server.  Currently our codes looks something like Server1DBInstance1... & Server2DBInstance2... Is it possible to move the objects from these 2 instances to Server3DBInstance3 and then use an alias to reference the objects?  Or does Server3 need to have DBInstance1 & DBIstance2?  Basically, is the alias just for the database or for the instance too?  Can I create an alias "Server1DBInstance1' on Server3DBInstance3 and assign objects to that alias?

I have a strange problem.
On almost all clients I can connect to mys database server using sqlcmd -S <server> and the connection is authenticated using kerberos.
One one of my clients the command fails. When I have Named Pipes enabled the connection works fine but is made with NTLM authentication.
All servers and clinets are members of the same domain and thay are ll on the same LAN segment. No firewalls are active anywhere.
Where do I look for a solution?

Hi,
For last 2 days, I'm struggling to integrate WSS 3.0 with SP1 with SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services with SP2 with Kerberose authentication.
And finally I'm stuck
At the moment I've got 2 issues, one is when "Set defaults" on Central Administration site, second is when I'm trying to browse the reporting server for report €“ using Report Viewer webpart configuration (when selecting "Report").
Before I will go futher with errors message, here is my configuration:
WSS 3.0 with SP1 and Reporting Services Add-in:
Computer: SharePoint02 | SharePoint02.led.local
Portal url: http://sharepoint02 | http://sharepoint02.led.local
Admin url: http://sharepointadmin02 | http://sharepointadmin02.led.local

Computer: SharePointDB | SharePointDB.led.local
Front End Portal url: http://sharepointdb | http://sharepointdb.led.local
URL to reporting services: http://sharepointdb/SPSReportServer | http://sharepointdb.led.local/SPSReportServer
Front End App Pool: LEDSPContentPool
Reporting Services App Pool: LEDSPConfigAcct
Report Server Service Account: LEDSPConfigAcct
SQL Server Account: LEDSPConfigAcct
I know I should have separate account.
Service Principals (SPContentPool):
Registered ServicePrincipalNames for CN=SPContentPool,CN=Users,DC=LED,DC=LOCAL:

HTTP/sharepointadmin02
Reporting add-in is activated, I'm able to specify the report server (http://sharepointdb.led.local/SPSReportServer) and to grant permission.
1) FIRST ISSUE
However when I'm trying to set the defaults for Reporting Services from Central administration I'm getting following error:

This error message then repeats few times, usually always after:

2) SECOND ISSUE
When the I'm trying to add Report Viewer (I'm logged as Portal administrator) and then select the report from web part settings, I'm getting:

When I'm looking at the Event log in SharePointDB I see Anonymous login:

Hello,
I have configured Kerberos delegation for several web services. One of the web service calls SSIS packages, but the packages don't run with the expected impersonate user : the package starts with the imporsonate user, but continue with ASPNET user (which is not allowed to execute SSIS and connect to DB).
If the web service is called directly (no delegation), SSIS packages run with the correct user. It looks like than there is an autenthicate issue, but kerberos is configured and web services can run from one to another with the impersonate user. The issue occured only when I call SSIS packages.
Here is a extract of the SSIS log file :

Like many others, I am have trouble getting this to work, and none of the solutions I have found on the inter-tubes seems to work for me:
"An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode. --> The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized."
The Setup:
MOSS/SSRS (Integration Mode) running on a server farm on a single server: myserver.mydomain.org
Service Account for all Services: mydomainmyaccount (trusted for delegation, member of IIS_WPG)
myserver trusted for delegation
SSAS running under Local System on ssas.mydomain.org.
SETSPN -L mydomainmyaccount results:
HTTP/myserver.mydomain.org
HTTP/myserver
MOSS Authentication Settings
Authentication Type = Windows
Default Authentication Provider = Negotiate (Kerberos)
Anonymous access not enabled
IIS Settings
SSRS on Default Web Site: Port 8080
Application Pool Identity mydomainmyaccount
NTAuthenticationProviders="Negotiate,NTLM"
Security: Windows Authentication
MOSS on Sharepoint-80 Site: Port 80
Application Pool Identity mydomainmyaccount
NTAuthenticationProviders="Negotiate,NTLM"
Security: Basic Authentication except _vti_bin/ReportServer is Windows Authentication
The idea is to use kerberos to pass credentials from SSRS reports running on myserver.mydomain.org to SSAS on ssas.mydomain.org.

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?

Hi all,
I have an issue with an SQL cluster.
I have two MS Windows 2003 Server Ent Ed. SP2 in cluster. They have MS SQL Server 2005 in cluster.
I have created and endpoint and when I try to access I get the attached error in client machine. This problem only occurs in cluster configuration, because the same installation in an SQL (no cluster) works fine.
EventID: 4 Source: Kerberos
The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/fra-lille-hel03.ea.holcim.net. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (EA.HOLCIM.NET), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator.
Anybody knows how to solve it?
Thanks in advanced.

I ran into a Kerberos authentication issue because of a missing AOAG SPN. Some of the tickets that granted me access to the nodes of the AOAG cluster were using the encryption type that I would expect. However, the MSSQLSvc SPNs were not using what I would expect!
klist
#XX> Client Somebody@somedomain.com
Server: RPCSS/MySQLServer@somedomain.com
KerbTicket Encryption Type: AES-256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96
#XX> Client Somebody@somedomain.com
Server: MSSQLSvc/MySQLServer@somedomain.com
KerbTicket Encryption Type: RSADSI RC4-HMAC(NT)
#XX> Client Somebody@somedomain.com
Server: MSSQLSvc/MyAOAGListener@somedomain.com
KerbTicket Encryption Type: RSADSI RC4-HMAC(NT)
I can't seem to figure out what the next step should be, and the infrastructure admins are stumped as well. How to proceed?

We have a large number of SSISDB packages running happily, connecting to our SQL Servers using ADO.Net or Sql Native Client, making their connection using NTLM. (We don't have our SQL Server SPNs correctly configured to support Kerberos).
The SSISDB packages are hosted on and run on a dedicated SQL server, different to the SQL Servers they are connecting to.
Very occasionally, the connection attempt is made using Kerberos instead of NTLM, and the connection attempt to sql server fails. (This is going by the Windows Security event log, which reveals a Kerberos login - a successful one at the Windows level - at the precise time that the calling agent job is informed of a connection timeout and fails, approx 23 seconds after the job starts).
The correct configuration of our SPNs is something we may wish to look into for security best practice, and would of course fix this. However, that may not be my decision to make.

how to add a alias to a server?
I have gone through BOL where it says it can be done thru right click agent -->> connections and configure alias.
i want to know if i configure a alias to a server from a client is it valid for other connections also?
meaning there are two database servers A and B
i add alias to server A by using client network utilities on server B,
then is this alias available if i try to connect to the server A thro some other server c?
hope this is not that confusing as it sounds. ;)

Is there any way to refer to an Alias in a select statement? For example, if I create an expression that sums to fields together and give it the alias TOTAL, and then in another field I want to create and other expresssion that multiplies a field by TOTAL, what is the syntax?
In MS Access the Alias name is surrounded by brackets, but I can't seem to find a way to do this with SQL Server.

We have a SQL 2000 installation on a server called SATURN that has been around for a while. We've installed a new SQL 2005 installation on a server called DEIMOS. Our intention is to move all the databases that are currently on SATURN, to DEIMOS.
I've just been looking at the config settings, and it's suddenly occurred to me that the ability to set Server Aliases might save me quite a bit of work. What I'm thinking is setting a new alias on DEIMOS called SATURN. Then I won't need to go round the various applications changing the connection properties.
So:
Does this sound reasonable?
I intend uninstalling SQL 2000 from SATURN, but the server itself will stay - is that ok?
What will happen if SQL comes alive on the server SATURN while the alias is in place - effectively there will be 2 servers responding to SATURN. I ask this because my intention is to shut down all the SQL services on SATURN, set up the alias, and once I'm happy with the testing, then uninstall. Just wondering what will happen if for some reason the services were restarted before I finish.
Is there anything else I need to consider?Regards,
Tim

Today I found a problem with alias name during retrieving values from database table with alias name. My query was like as following:
========================================================SelectEmpID,Case EmpNameOrEmpFirstLastNameWhen ‘EN’ ThenEmpNameElse--EmpLast + “, � + EmpFirst
EmpLast + ', ' + EmpFirstEnd As EmpName,CityFrom tblEmployeeWhere EmpName LIKE ‘N%’=======================================================
When I execute this query I get all the record which contains the N% in EmpName as well as from FirstName. As you know that should not because I give alias name EmpName to EmpLast + ', ' + EmpFirst. But here the problem is we cannot use the alias name in Where condition.
I resolve this problem by using #temp table like the following:=======================================================SelectEmpID,Case EmpNameOrEmpFirstLastNameWhen ‘EN’ ThenEmpNameElse--EmpLast + “, � + EmpFirst
EmpLast + ', ' + EmpFirstEnd As EmpName,CityInto #tmpEmployeeFrom tblEmployee
Select * from #tmpEmployee where EmpName LIKE ‘N%’=======================================================
It really very simple, isn’t it? You can use the reference link:Reference: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread82710.html

Hi,
In DTS 2000 when you created a connection you could use a server alias (as created in the network client utility) as the servername. When I try to use a server alias in connection mgr(I am using Native Client) it fails to connect with the standard error: "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Login timeout expired. etc etc...
Has anyone had success using a server alias? (Yes i set up the alias using sql configuration mgr)
The problem I am trying to solve is I have dev/test/production environments that I want to move this package to and I don't want to have to change any server name properties within the package when moving to the different environments.
Thanks

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,
Teny

I had two servers, in which SQL Servers are installed. I created a alias for server
Server 1 : test1.sqlcloud.com (Alias name with port no other than 1433)
Server 2 : test2.sqlcloud.com (Alias name with port no other than 1433)
I can connect to the servers using the port. for ex server1 to server2 and viceversa using "test2.sqlcloud.com,port". But I could not connect to the server by only specifying the alias name ("test2.sqlcloud.com"). When I am connecting I am getting the following error.

so you have two place to configure alias, in SQL server configuration manager under aliases tab on and on the cliconfg.exe tool on a different machine. If I want another server to see this sql server by the alias name I will need to configure the alias on the cliconfg tool on the client machine. It looks like as long as I have the alias configured in the cliconfg on the client machine, I don't need the alias to exist on the config manager, the client can still see SQLserver using just the alias on cliconfg...if so, I wondering under what situation I would really need the alias on the configuration manager?

But this way doesn't work...
Anyone got an idea to change alias SQL server in transact?

Can someone please shed some light on what seems to me to be a common requirement.
If I create an alias or linked server to Server1 - say Alias1 - on Server1 and then use that name in a query on Server1, a remote/distributed query is always used (even though we are running on the local server and that overhead is completely unnecessary).
Is SQL Server really not capable of deciding that
select * from Alias1.db1.dbo.table1
and
select * from Server1.db1.dbo.table1
should be optimized and executed exactly the same when Alias1 is Server1, but that it is a distributed query ONLY when Alias1 is really referring to a remote server? I realize that the four part name is not necessary when I am referring to objects on the current server, but I am trying to write code that is server instance independent.
It just seems that if that is not possible, then the only way to create system independent stored procs that can run in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers is to create all sorts of scripts to regenerate all the procs whenever you move a database between servers?
If SQL Server is even close to the enterprise big iron server that MS now claims it is, it surely needs to support running in dev, staging, and production environments and work with multiple databases on multiple servers?!
I'm really looking for someone to tell me I'm missing something simple, and of course you can do this - but complex workarounds are invited too :-)
This is not something I am investigating as an academic exercise, I am already doing this, but I have to figure out how to do it better because with all these unnecessary distributed queries, performance is horrible.
Thanks

I know how to create an alias for a SQL server instance, so instead of MyServerMyInstanceName, I can type MyInstanceName into my SSMS connection box. But SSAS does not allow me to connect with the alias.
I've looked all over and found plenty of documentation that SQL 2005 and 2008 doesn't allow the use of instance aliases for SSAS. I've even found notes from Microsoft saying "we'll fix this in a future edition." I have not found any indications or notes as to whether or not this has been fixed.
Can aliases be created for 2012 SSAS? Or is this still not available?

I have some stored procedures that do updates using table aliases, like this:
UPDATE TableAlias
SET ColVal = 1
FROM RealTable AS TableAlias
WHERE TableAlias.ColVal <> 1
This allows me to include joins and stuff in the update (not shown) and make it all more readable for me.
It all works fine, and the SSMS parser says it's fine. But I also have another script which looks at sys.sql_expression_dependencies and sys.objects to find stored procedures with invalid object references (see below), and it's understandably saying that all of the above type stored procedures have invalid references.
SELECT
OBJECT_NAME(DEP.referencing_id) AS referencing_name,
DEP.referenced_entity_name
FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies AS DEP
WHERE
-- Only validate local references:
(
DEP.referenced_database_name = DB_NAME()
[Code] ....
So I have a couple questions.
1. Is the UPDATE syntax I'm using kosher?
2. Can you recommend any updates to my stored procedure validation script that will better accommodate table aliases like mine?
