I€™m experimenting with creating Certificates for SQL Server. I can create a certificate ok, using the Certification Authority Wizard, however when I go into SQL Server Configuration Manager and view Protocols for MSSQLServer/Properties and click on the drop down list for Certificate €“ there€™s nothing there. When I create the certificate using the Wizard, I€™m only given the following stores to use: Personal, Trusted Root Certification Authorities, Enterprise Trust, Intermediate Certification Authorities, Trusted Publishers, Untrusted Certificates, Third-Party Root Certification Authorities and Trusted People. Does anyone know where I should be Importing the certificate to, or have any tips on what I need to do to view the certificate there?
I have been puzzling over this for the past 2 days with absolutely no success. I have an sql server (data.foo.bar.com) that I am upgrading to sql 2005. I am trying to install our ssql certificate (which works fine in iis) in sql. The major dilemma lies I think in the fact that the cert is a wildcard certificate (covering *.bar.com).
I have tried all of the suggestions mentioned online and in these forums, including installing the hash in the rgeistry manually, using httpcfg.exe to setup cert usage for our ip address and port, etc etc. Sql server is using as a domain account (bar/SQLServer) and the cert is installed in the machine store (though I also tried installing it in the user store wihtout luck).
Any guidance or advice anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, We are trying to implement Service Broker between SQL Server Express and SQL Server on the Same machine and we are having problems with certificates. We are creating a certificate on SQL Server, backing up the certificate on a file system and then loading certificate on the SQL Server Express from the file and we are keep getting the following error: Msg 15208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The certificate, asymmetric key, or private key file does not exist or has invalid format.
Following script runs fine on SQL Server.
Code Snippet
use master
Create Master Key Encryption BY Password = '45Gme*3^&fwu';
BACKUP MASTER KEY TO FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerPrivateKeyMasterB.pvk'
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '45Gme*3^&fwu'
Create Certificate EndPointCertificateC
WITH Subject = 'C.Server.Local',
START_DATE = '06/01/2006',
EXPIRY_DATE = '01/01/2008'
ACTIVE FOR BEGIN_DIALOG = ON;
BACKUP CERTIFICATE EndPointCertificateC
TO FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerEndPointCertificateC.cer'
Following script runs on SQL Server Express:
Code Snippet
Create Certificate EndPointCertificateC
From FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerEndPointCertificateC.cer'
WITH PRIVATE KEY (
FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerPrivateKeyMasterB.pvk',
DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '45Gme*3^&fwu'
);
If we run the script other way around, it works fine. If we use the SQL Server on some other machine, the script works fine. But only on the same machine, it throws this error. We made sure the permissions and everything. Let us know if there is any work around or what are we doing wrong.
Is it possible to install and configure the MSDTC resource in a SQL Server 2000 cluster after SQL is installed and running?
When I recently went through a rebuild of my cluster, I forgot to install the resource before installing SQL Server. Now, if I install and bring online the MSDTC resource the SQL disk groups will not fail over correctly. The SQL Server resource will not come online.
Thanks in advance for any help. I would really like to avoid rebuilding again.
Hi all, I created a certificate in the master database so that my endpoint could use the certificate.
I dropped the endpoint and dropped the certificate and added a new one and created a new endpoint because the earlier one had a weak password.
Everything has been fine till we restarted the server. Master, model start up fine but now I am getting these errors.

I even copied the master database to a dev server and started it up deleted all certificates and endpoints but it gives the same error.
Are there limitations to express and certificates, i can create certificates in express. But when i try to import a certificate from another server (developer edition) into my express edition i get his error:
The certificate, asymmetric key, or private key file does not exist or has invalid format
When i use the same certificate backup on non express editions it works 100% , is it not possible or must it be done differently ?
for the third time I am installing SQL-Server 2005 express and i have an error.
Cannot install sql because .NET 2.0 framework is missing allthough I have the .NET 2.0 framework allready installed and even re-installed it too. When trying again I get the message that there isn't an SSL-certificate present.
My question is, would this probably cause the error when installing?
I was trying to install Sql Server Express 2005 using the setup made using Visual Studio 2005 Publisher Wizard, as a pre-requisite. During this i'm getting the following error...
"SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]SSL Provider: The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted."
What does this mean? Anyone is familiar with this, then pray please post a reply. I'm in the middle of nowhere now....
How do we install a certificate for enabling security on MS -SQL Server 2005? I tried to install through MMC but it says no " certificate authority found " . Any help will be highly appreciated , Thanks to you all in advance :-)
I must prepare a procedure which should export some data from some DB columns, but these data must be encrypted using the OpenSSL protocol, to be sent to an external recipient.This recipient sent to me a "public" certificate in PEM format, to what I understood (it is a file beginning with the expression "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----", then a long Base64 sequence and then "-----END CERTIFICATE-----").
Then I didn't create the certificate nor I am a certification authority: I just have this public key (or, at least, a file from which I can extract a public key) and I must use it to encrypt data in order to obtain an output which must be analogue to what I can obtain when using this OpenSSL command line instruction:openssl rsautl -encrypt -in CF.txt -out CF.enc -inkey SaniteICF.cer -certin -pkcs
Then the question is: starting from this PEM file and nothing else, can I import it and store an asymmetric key or a certificate in SQL Server and use it to encrypt data to be exported?
I want to use a certificate with 10-years expiration date. I created a new template certificate, based on default computer certificate, and I only change expiration date to 10 years.
In SQL Server SSL configuration, I dont view this certificate. In only view certificate created with the "Computer" template (with validity period of 365 days). All others certificates based on template are invisible to SQL Server
How can I use a custom template instead of the default "computer" template ?

I attempted to setup database mirroring using a High Availability scenario but when I installed SQL is chose to use local system accounts for all the services. Consequently, I stubled upon a microsoft article explaining how to setup mirroring using local system accounts and certificate authentication but I am stil not able to get it to work. When I try ti initiate the mirror from the mirror server I receive an error stating "Neither the partner nor the witness server instance for database "EDENLive" is available. Reissue the command when at least one of the instances becomes available." I have checked all the endpoints and everything seems to be in order. I even checked to make sure that each server was listening on the appropriate ports and I AM able to telnet to the ports. Please help!
Hi all, Im new here so il start with a little introduction of myself, My name is Arjan im 19 years old from Holland, and i work for a company to compleet my ICT Education.
My situation:
My boss gave me a server with server 2003 standard and Sql server 2005 and visual studio 2005 installed already, he asked me if i could figure out how the 'new' reporting services work, Im pretty new to SQL and the reporting service but i figured out i had to install asp.net / frameworks and IIS.
So right now i wanna start the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and i get an error that says 'Invalid namespace' and when im trying to approach by using my browser i get 'page not found' so obviously their is Alot wrong. I asked my boss if i could not reinstall everything and do it in the correct order (IIS / ASP.net / Frameworks before installing SQL server 2k5 but that was not an option because we dont seem to have the cd's anymore.
The server is not connected to any network or the internet.
My Question:
Is their any way to fix this? and if yes could anyone tell me where to start
Thanks in Advance!
ps if their is information or logs that u need in order to help me just say so :-)
I am trying to create a encrypted row in my database Everything here worked except that when i run the final query to decrypt the data It just comes up with null for each row. Even if i do a query to show me the rows that are not null It's like it is saying yeah there is data here but I am only going to show you null instead of what I am supposed to decrypt.Here is what I tried from start to finish Create Certificate TestCert Encryption By Password = 'Password' With Subject = 'SQLCert', Expiry_Date = '12/01/2050';
declare @Test nvarchar(50) set @Test='123456789'
insert into testenc (testencry) Values (encryptbyCert(Cert_ID('TestCert'),@Test ))
select convert (Nvarchar(50), DecryptByCert(Cert_ID('TestCert'), testencry,N'Password')) As Test from testenc
im trying to drop all certificates on my database, and then the master key, but cannot do this as there are objects encrypted by one particular cert that i called fcert. I done this ages ago and cannot remember what i encrypted with this cert. to drop the master key i have to drop the cert and to drop the cert i have to make sure no objects are encrypted by it. how is this achieved?
I can use "CREATE CERTIFICATE" to add a CER certificate into a SQL database. How can I do so with a PFX certificate? From the document, it can be done so with a CER file and a PVK file, but only a PFX file.
hey, I am having a weired issue(donno whether its weired or not.). I have a user who has db_owner rights on a database. But when he is trying to create a certificate he is getting error. "Msg 15247, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 User does not have permission to perform this action." Remember he is having db_owner rights on that particular database. is there any other permission that i have to give him.
I'm having this really strange issue with mirroring.
I've followed the instructions on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191140.aspx to the letter, leaving out the witness server part, as I don't have one.
All works OK, but when activating the mirroring on the principal server I get the usual error 1418 error. I fired up SQL Server Profiler to see what was happening, and the following error emerged.
Connection handshake failed. The certificate used by the peer is invalid due to the following reason: Certificate not yet valid. State 104.
I am trying to get SQL Express to use a certificate for SSL encryption between the server and client. Our company has a certificate server and I already did generate a server certificate from it. I installed the certificate in the "local machine" store and I also have the CA certificate in the trusted root on the server machine. (XP PRO)
When I use the configuration tool, I get to the "protocols for SQLEXPRESS" area, I click properties, I select the certificate tab, but there are no certificates available from which to choose.
Can someone shed some light on where I might go from here?
As we know ,certificate is a digitallly-signed security object that bind the public key to the principal who holds the private key.
Say i create a certificate by using create certificate DDL, then use it to encrypt data and decrypt data as follows:
Code Block create certificate cert1 encryption by password='p@ssw0rd1' with subject='certificate test' go declare @plaintext varchar(100) set @plaintext='abcd' declare @cipher varbinary(8000) set @cipher=encryptbycert(cert_id('cert1'),@plaintext) select convert(varchar,decryptbycert(cert_id('cert1'),@cipher,N'p@ssw0rd1'))
Is that mean i create public key implicitly when i run "create certificate cert1 encryption by password='p@ssw0rd1' with subject='certificate test'"?
What cryptography algorithm would be use when i use the certificate to encrypt data ? Where is private key? I ensure I use the public key which generated from "create certificate " DDL to encrypt data .I want to know which private key i used when i execute decryptbycert to decrypt.
