Login Without Connect Permission Somehow Managed To Become Db_owner!?
Jan 9, 2007
I tried asking the same question in other forum but couldn't get an answer.
I used exactly the following SQL to create a login with sa account in SQL2k5 Management Studio:
Create Login yy With Password='yy123Z'
Without granting any permission, straight away, i log out sa and login as yy in management studio, yy somehow can access one of my ApplicationDatabase! So i check with the following SQL in my ApplicationDatabase:
IS_MEMBER('db_owner')
and it returns me 1, meaning yy is db_owner. I then quickly login as sa and double check on the security|login|yy|properties|User Mapping, NONE of the database is mapped! and i also ensure "Guest account enabled for: ApplicationDatabase" is unchecked.
What could be the problem i am facing? the purpose i create yy is to ONLY allow it to have connect permission on my SQL Endpoint. Please HELP!!
I would like to disable a user account from logging to the database. I would like to know the difference between deny connect to sql permission and disabling an account by alter login disable. Please advice. Thanks
Currently we have a report manager up and running (SQL Standard 2000), and every one can access to this report, since this report has been abused by some users. So I need to restrict only manager(s) user can have access to it and it should prompt a login screen for username and password as it happens only when I try to open http:\server eports locally then I got a login screen for username and password, however when I try to open the report on different workstation remotely I don't have login screen and I am able to connect/ open the report.
I created a new login name. I checked 3 databases in User Mapping. I tried to mimic an existing login name. When I right clicked at the database and selected Properties. I selected the Permission tab at the left. It showed both login names under users or roles. I selected the existing login name and clicked the Effective Permissions button. The login has all permissions: Alter, Create, Select, Insert, Update, Delete, Execute, Connect, etc. When I selected the new login name and clicked the Effective Permission button, the login has only Connect. Why the new login name does not have all other permissions? And how can I assign to it?
Hello Everyone, I need your input. When, if ever, should programmers be given the 'sa' login. The reason that I ask is because a group of three developers have approached me asking for the 'sa' login so they could write stored procedures and do some database level tasks. I am relatively new to data admin and I am under the opinion that I should probably just alias their login to 'dbo' on the one database that they are developing their app for.
Tools -> connect to database -> Select datasourse - Microsoft SQL Server (SqlClient) -> Server name - comp4_8SQLExpress -> Log on to the server €“ Use Windows Authentication -> Connect to a database -> Select or enter a database name €“ MyDataBase
comp4_8 - is the name of my computer. I am using Windows XP Professional SP2. Login as administrator without password.
Now about the problem I have. On local machine everything is great! But I hosted my website and got this error. The question is how to give permission to this user to connect to my database. Cannot open database "MyDataBase" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'ANGELINAASPNET'.
When assigning permission to an authentication user to connect to a server database, if I want the user to be able to insert / update / delete data on db objects specifically tables, what permission should be assigned to that user?
My thoughts were Insert / Update / Delete; however, someone suggested that the Execute permission would do this ...
In MSDN, it says that it is recommended to use windows authentication to connect to SQL Server rather than use mixed authentication.
I create user deltasqluser on windows OS, and I specify in my webform ASP.NET script below :
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label Label1; private string _connString = @"data source=deltasql2000;initial catalog=northwind;integrated security=false;user id=deltasqluser"; /* comment : I login to my windows as deltakoronx, and I want to every user (including me), connected to sql server through IIS, will be identified as deltasqluser not as user's login (impersonate) */ private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(_connString); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(); cmd.Connection = conn; cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; cmd.CommandText = "select suser_sname()";
at web.config, I add : <identity impersonate="false" userName="deltasqluser" password="" />
at IIS webApplication1's properties, tab "Directory Security", at "Authentication and access control" section, I checked "enable anonymous access" with user : DELTAIUSR_DELTA and checked "Integrated Windows Authentication",
at query analyzer, I login as "sa" and execute script below : exec sp_grantdbaccess 'deltasqluser','northwind'
when I run the ASP.NET script, error at conn.Open(); with error message : Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.
What should I do so that IIS login to SQL Server as user deltasqluser not as "NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" ?
Hi all,For testing purposes I created a local database using SQL Server 2000. I want to connect to this database using following code:mySqlConnection = New SqlConnection("server=(local)SQLExpress;Integrated Security=SSPI;database=TestDbInge;UID=IVANSARK;PWD=test") mySqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT Voornaam FROM Personen", mySqlConnection) mySqlConnection.Open() I'm getting the message below: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database "TestDbInge" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'IVANSARKASPNET'. It's the same when I don't add the userid and password part to the connectionstring. What am I doing wrong?? And where does "IVANSARKASPNET" come from? Shouldn't I be anonymous? Please help.Regards, Inge
Help! Cannot connect to Database, login failed for user... I have been looking for a fix for this for some time, however I have yet to find one. I am running msde-2000 and I have a programm that I wrote with VB.Net 2003 that works fine when I am in Debug Mode, however when I deploy the application, and try to connect to the MSDE SQL-Server I get an error that states, "Cannont Connect to database TCON1, Login failed for user Amanda,
I get the following error when trying to create an Access Data Project:Login failed for user 'myname'. Reason: Not associated with a trustedSQL Server connection.I'm using a specific username and password. The sQL Server (actually, MSDE)is installed on \server1, and I'm working on my laptop.I get the error whenI try and click the dropdown for "Select the database on the server". Anyhints on what I've donw wrong?Thanks, in advance.
I connected successfully in SQL Server Management studio using the 'sa' login and changed the authentication mode to Windows NT because I could not connect using my windows login but now I can't get any connection at all because 'sa' is no longer trusted.
I changed the loginmode registry setting to 2 and rebooted my PC but this has made no difference.
I recently installed SQL2005 and SQL2000. I only created SA login permissions with Admin access to the database (There are no Windows Users that have access).
I then installed SQL2000 and it overwrote the "mixed connection mode" . whenever I try to connect with the sa login I get the following error
Login failed for user 'sa'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452)
The problem is explained in a fix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/269587
The only problem is that the fix requires access rights that I don't have. My only logins are "BuiltInUsers" that have public access rights and then a "sa" login (that doesn't work) that has Admin rights within the db engine.
So my question is... Can I create an sysadmin account with windows authentication (for a normal Windows Admin Account) without having the proper rights within the database engine?
I have been using SQL Server 2012 developer edition for quite a while without problems. But now when I try to connect I get this error:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'D8700Ken'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 4064)
I suspect that I caused this problem myself but I don't know how to recover from it. Here is what I did:
1: Used SSDT in Visual Studio to change the set default database from 'master' to 'DTNSQL' (My first SSDT experiment!) 2: Used SQLSMS to rename the 'DTNSQL' database to 'DTNSQL01'. 3: Logged out of SQL Server - then tried to log back in.
I have read that the solution to this problem is to "login using another Login."
I don't seem to have "another Login". How to find an existing Login or create a new Login.
i have created a new login in primary server and provided dbowner permission to primary db.how do i transfer this login to secondary server and assign the same permission to secondary db ?
Hello everyone,When I try to connect to database I get this error message: Login failed for user 'databaseadmin'.My connection code is:Dim MyConnection As New SqlConnection( _ "server=(local); database=news; UID=databaseadmin; PWD=111111;")I've tried "server=localhost:3066", and "server=." and many many other ways, but it's still not working! I don't know what other things should I try now... I asked the support people of my web host, and their answer is:"Mysql database usename and password is corect one. It seems that there is problem with the script code."Please would anybody help me with this? Thank you very much!

The account itself works fine, I am able to log in to the server successfully, for example there are no problems when I use the same user name and password for the Query Analyzer. What could be the cause of the error mentioned above?
Please direct me to the right forum if this is not the right one.
Upon installation of SQL Server 2005, I opened the SQL Server Management Studio, connected using Windows Authentication and went to the security node in the tree. I created a log in called "TestLogin". I restarted my server just to make sure everything took and when I tried to log in using TestLogin via SQL Server Authentication, I get the below error. I have mixed mode enabled as well as named pipes. I am not sure what the issue is or what to try next. I even get the same error when trying to use "sa".
Thanks,

I have a test environment set up at home with a small windows server 2003 Active Directory domain. I created a windows security group on the dc and added myself and another user to the group. I then use this group as a login for SQL Server and add the login to the sysadmin server role. This works exactly as I would expect on the Windows Server computer (which is also the Domain Controller) regardless of which computer I use to connect to this Windows Server computer. However, when I set up the exact same login on the local sql server instance of my client laptop running windows xp pro, the I get an error message (Login failed for user MYDOMAINdgolds...) when I attempt to connect to the local instance of SQL server, even though I am able to connect to the instance on the domain controller with no problems using this same client laptop under the same user account. The only way I am able to connect locally on the laptop under this account (which does not have local admin privileges on any box, for testing purposes) is to add the user account separately as a login, rather than as part of a group. I'm curious as to why being a member of a security group that is part of the sysadmin server role does not allow me to connect to the local instance of SQL Server on this client laptop. The windows server computer is running SQL2k5 Enterprise, and the client laptop is running SQL2k5 developer. Any insight into this would be appreciated.
I have installed a SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition instance with SSIS on Window Server 2003 x64. From my PC, I am able to connect to the Integration Services on the server using Windows Authentication but not with a local SQL login - and the option to change authentication methods is greyed out.
Is it possible to remotely connect to SSIS using a SQL login rather than a Windows login? If so, any ideas or references for configuring it as such?
We have see login failures for windows accounts. Below is the error message.
Description: In our env most logins are windows accounts. Initially we thought it is an UAC issue and we tried to launch the SSMS using "Run as Administrator". However, we are seeing login failures.

We tried dropping this account and re-creating the windows account with same permissions but still result is same. It throws same error message. Login failure message !!!
When i give PortalUser a sysadmin server role, it works. But i don't want to give PortalUser a sysadmin role. Any suggestions? Is sysadmin role required to access a remote server using Sql server authentication?
I have a SQL Server 2014 database that is partially contained. I am trying to connect to the database via Excel using a contained user login. When I choose Data - Other Sources - From SQL Server, I get the Data Connection Wizard window to Connect to the Server.
This window allows me to enter the server name and a User Name and Password (for SQL authentication), however it does not allow me to specify a database. When I click the Next button, I get a 'login failed' error which I assume is happening because the contained user is not a SQL login.
I have the same issue trying to create an ODBC connection using the ODBC Data Source Administrator.Â
Is there another way for me to connect to a SQL Server database using a contained login with Excel?Â
I have an application that uses Integrated Windows authentication. My Web.config looks like below <add key="dbconnection" value=" server=XXX;Initial Catalog=XXX;persist security info=False;Integrated Security=SSPI;Pooling=true" /> When users try to access my application, they get the below error: Execute permission denied on object 'SprocName', database 'DBNAME',Owner,'dbo' The Only way I could get rid off the error is if I set DBO permissions for the user group on the databse. Can someone suggest how to set up a security group with the ‘necessary’ permissions on SQL SERVER (ie read,write execute Sproc etc) and not too many extra ones, like DBO. Thanks,
I have a database which contains 5 db_owner. If I need to remove two of them (they have left the company and are not being replaced) so db_changedowner is out of the question.
What is the proper way to do this?
Do I need to transfer their ownerships to one of the existing db_owner?
