MS SQL Server 2005 Failed To Start After SSL Encryption Adjustment
Mar 21, 2008
Hi, everyone!
I faced the problem trying to adjust ssl encryption in ms sql server 2005.
I've completed all steps from this article:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191192.aspx
But when I'm trying to restart sql server - it fails to start.
Here the error messages I got:
1. Unable to load user-specified certificate. The server will not accept a connection. You should verify that the certificate is correctly installed. See "Configuring Certificate for Use by SSL" in Books Online.
2. TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x80092004, status code 0x80.
3. TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x80092004, status code 0x1.
4. Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately preceding this one in the error log.
5. SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
SQL Server is installed on Windows 2003 Server OS running computer.
I use certificate created by means stand-alone Certificate Authority that appeared in Administration Tools on that computer after I installed Certificate Services.
I guess the reason is in wrong certificate parameters I set while requesting.
How can I determine correct certificate parameters? Does anyone know?
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks

I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition & SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
In a database that is role-manager-enabled, you will have some tables like apsnet_Users, aspnet_Roles, etc.
And some Columns like CreatedDate, LastLoginDate in the tables.
My problem:
The datatime values in the aforementioned fields are updated based on GMT instead of the client's local time zone.
Is this the way it is?
No matter true or not, how to fix it?
Many Thanks in advance :)

Ran the SP2 locally on a Windows Server 2003 SP1 box that had SQL Server 2005 SP1 install on it. Problem was I ran out of C: drive and it failed in the middle of upgrading the server.
I'm unable to start the SQL Server at all now. Is there any way to back this out? Don't think I can reapply any patches since the service is dead.
Eventlog now shows:
One or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from a backup.
The log shows it's unable to start SQL (blames it on permisions but it's because SQL can no longer start)
Product : Database Services (MSSQLSERVER)
Product Version (Previous): 2047
Product Version (Final) :
Status : Failure
Log File : C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGHotfixSQL9_Hotfix_KB921896_sqlrun_sql.msp.log
Error Number : 29538
Error Description : MSP Error: 29538 SQL Server Setup did not have the administrator permissions required to rename a file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAmssqlsystemresource1.mdf. To continue, verify that the file exists, and either grant administrator permissions to the account currently running Setup or log in with an administrator account. Then run SQL Server Setup again.
I'm guessing its reinstall time but not sure how the attached databases will like that idea.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Hello,
I had installed SQL express yesterday, and it did function, but due some other problems, i uninstalled it, and reinstalled SQL express 2005. Appearantly, there is some rest of the old installation, blocking me to start a new installation.
The link provided by the program (below) does not connect to any page.
I would appreciate some help, thanks in advance.

I have mentioned this problem before but it has not been resolved. I am installing MS SQL Server Express Advanced i.e. using SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE.
During the initial checks, i get a warning about hardware requirements and I have read the posts about the install failing if the CPU does not support prefetching but I am running a P4 3.0GHz (twin core) CPU with 512MB RAM on Windows XP Pro SP2.
The installation fails at SQL Server Database Services during "Configuring Microsoft SQL Server":
"Starting SQL Service: MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS"
If I click the Retry button, the system goes away and then comes back with the same message. If I click cancel, various roll-back actions are performed and the install fails
Is this the default name for the SQL Server instance ? I thought it would be named after my machine name i.e. GLKD239680SQLExpress ?
Any ideas anyone ? I have not had much luck with installing this despite 2 PC rebuilds and scanning the forums for solutions.... I can post any log files if needed
Thanks

I have created two user defined functions for encryption and decryption using passphrase mechanism. When I call encryption function, each time I am getting the different values for the same input. While I searching a particular value, it takes long time to retrieve due to calling decryption function for each row.
best way to encrypt and decrypt using user defined functions.Below is the query which is taking long time.
SELECT ID FROM table WITH (NOLOCK)
                    WHERE dbo.DecodeFunction(column) = 'value'
When I try to use symetric or asymetric encryption, I am not able to put "OPEN SYMETRIC KEY" code in a function. So, I am using PassPhrase mechanism.

I had a strange experience with MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installation, I am running a P4 3G Processor, 1 GB of RAM, Windows XP SP2, 300 GB HDD (SATA if it matters at all :) ) And using Visual Studio Pro 2005.
I have managed to install the SQL Express with no hassle at all, then had to format my HDD, and start from scratch, to make a new home for my VS 2005 Pro (The 300 GB HDD) And managed to install the SQL Express as part of the VS 2005 without any problems, after using it for 3 months now, I've started a new project in VS 2005, and tried to add a new SQL DB, but it had failed for several times.
I€™ve decided that the files got corrupted for some reason and tried to reinstall the MS SQL 2005 using the original SQL Express installation file I've used before, but without joy.
I thought that it is conflicting with some new MS Update patch and downloaded the latest SQL Express advanced installation, but that did not fix the problem either.
The message I'm getting every time I attempt the installation is" SQL Server service failed to start" with all the bla bla about the online books and whatever useless stuff to learn how to start the service manually.
I have uninstalled the whole thing, including VS 2005, .NET Framework, and any registry trace of the SQL Server installation, but again all in vain.
Finally, some smart wizard suggested in one of the threads that if your computer is not part of a domain, you should run the SQL service as a local service, using the advanced option during the first step of the setup.
And guess what! It worked!!!!
My Question is why did it work during the first two installations, without me fiddling with the advanced installation feature?
My computer was and still is, not part of any domain, my hardware did not change at all, and I had the installation failing with or without any software installed!

I am attempting to create a new trace but I get the following error message: "failed to start a new trace".
I have been doing some digging and as I understand it, I had to find the directory Profiler uses for temporary files. So, I typed the following in the command window "SET TMP" and I received the following reply:
C:UsersRossAppDataLocalTemp
Now, according to the forum: [URL] ...
I am supposed to check that the system folder pointed to by the TMP environment variable exists and is not crammed with files.
Well, when I went to the directory C:UsersRossAppDataLocalTemp, it is indeed full of both files and directories. The size is 16.3 MB and has 133 files and 63 folders.
When I had a look at the Environment Variables window and chose TMP the value is "%USERPROFILE%AppDataLocalTemp" which according to my limited understanding is the equivalent to C:UsersRossAppDataLocalTemp.
So, what I am wondering is am I supposed to totally clear out this directory? I am not too keen on doing this because I don't want to stuff my PC up.

Hello, I've configured SQL Server 2000 for merge replication and am trying to start the snapshot agent for the publication and after about 20 minutes of it trying to start, it gives up with this error.
Server execution failed
There is no more information in the event viewer. I've tried it with a bunch of different subscriptions. SQL Server and SQL Agent are running under a local account which has access to the replcation data directory. SQL Agent is running.
I'm Running SQL 2000 SP3.

Hi,
I have a central database server that is runnning on SQL 2005 standard edition and Windows server 2003 standard as OS.
I realise that I can use SQL statements to encrypt and decrypt the data inside the standard SQL.
However, how do I read and write the data via an web application coded in C#.net and is also running on the same machine?
Another issue is, I need to replicate some of the data in this SQL standard over to a SQL mobile running on a mobile device running on Windows CE 5.0.
The mobile device also needs to read and write data to the encrypted data via a C#.net application.
Question is, with all these requirements to be met, can I use AES? I know that AES is not available on Windows XP and Windows Server 2000 and I cant find AES in the .net compact framework.
how do i go about ensuring security? how do I ensure that the symmetric key is the same both on the SQL standard and SQL mobile?
thank you.

I am having a problem with some code I have in a DLL that is running in SQL Server 2005. I am trying to get some RSA encryption and decryption. The encrypt code runs in SAFE mode without a problem. The decrypt code gets and error:
Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "March_CryptoDecrypt":
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.KeyContainerPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

Here is the decrypt code:

string encryptedBlock = "";
string localTextStr = P_text;
int numberOfBlocks;
RSACryptoServiceProvider rsaProvider = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
rsaProvider.FromXmlString(P_privateKey);
Queue<string> encryptedBlocks = new Queue<string>();
while (localTextStr.Length != 0)
{
if (rsaProvider.KeySize == 1024)
{
encryptedBlock = localTextStr.Substring(0, localTextStr.IndexOf("=") + 1);
encryptedBlocks.Enqueue(encryptedBlock);
localTextStr = localTextStr.Remove(0, encryptedBlock.Length);
}
else
{
encryptedBlock = localTextStr.Substring(0, localTextStr.IndexOf("==") + 2);
encryptedBlocks.Enqueue(encryptedBlock);
localTextStr = localTextStr.Remove(0, encryptedBlock.Length);
}
}
encryptedBlocks.TrimExcess();
numberOfBlocks = encryptedBlocks.Count;
retStr = "";
for (int cnt = 1; cnt <= numberOfBlocks; cnt++)
{
encryptedBlock = encryptedBlocks.Dequeue();
retStr +=
ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(rsaProvider.Decrypt(
Convert.FromBase64String(encryptedBlock), false));
}
return (retStr);
}
Here is the encrypt code that works:
static public string Encrypt(string P_text, string P_publicKey)
{
string retStr;
RSACryptoServiceProvider rsaProvider = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
rsaProvider.FromXmlString(P_publicKey);
int numberOfBlocks = (P_text.Length / 32) + 1;
char[] charArray = P_text.ToCharArray();
byte[][] byteBlockArray = new byte[numberOfBlocks][];
int incrementer = 0;
for (int cnt = 1; cnt <= numberOfBlocks; cnt++)
{
if (cnt == numberOfBlocks)
{
byteBlockArray[cnt - 1] =
ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(charArray, incrementer, charArray.Length - incrementer);
}
else
{
byteBlockArray[cnt - 1] =
ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(charArray, incrementer, 32);
incrementer += 32;
}
}
retStr = "";
for (int cnt = 0; cnt < byteBlockArray.Length; cnt++)
{
retStr += System.Convert.ToBase64String(
rsaProvider.Encrypt(byteBlockArray[cnt], false));
}
return (retStr);
}
I do not see why the encrypt can run is safe mode and the decrypt can not. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank You,

If I understand all the posts/documentation correctly am I correct in saying that sql server will not send a symmetric key outside of database.
For Eg can I use ADO.Net to get the key from database into a C# application to do encryption/decryption in the C# application outside of database. I want the C# application to be able to encrypt/decrypt data using .Net cryptography api's but use sql server as key store in addition to encryption/decryption.
thanks for the help

Hello,
I store data in an .mdf file (I use SQL server 2005), because this way it's easier to move the application from one machine to another.
I've faced a problem with the encryption of the database.
Is there a possibility/way to encrypt a database file so that, if someone else finds/copies the mdf, he/she won't be able to read it.
I thought about encrypting the string values of the tables itself and decode them inside the application and encide when Inserting, but why inventing somehing that might already exist.
Thank you.

Hi everyone! I have a problem and I was hoping someone could help me with it.
Here's my scenario:
I have to access to an intermediate SQL Server 2005 database, which I cannot change or alter. In this database is information that a I need to retrieve and put in our website database. One item of information is a persons SSN which is stored in a varbinary field and encrypted using a certificate.
In my Data Flow task which processes this information I am using an Ole Db Source to retrieve the information with the SQL Script:
SELECT
CAST(DecryptByCert(Cert_ID('Certificate_Name'), [IntermediateDB].[SSN]) AS VARCHAR) As SSN
FROM
[dbo].[IntermediateDB].[SSN]
BTW, This script runs fine from within SQL Server Management Studio. It decrypts the SSN to the appropriate value. However, when I run it in SSIS, I receive a truncation error which is no small surprise b/c the SSN value is in a large binary format. I.e:
0x55 0x56 0x69 0x99 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 ...
It goes on further, but for the sake of brevity and my own sanity I thought I should truncate it.
It seems like SSIS's use of the certificate is failing (although I don't get an error for that) and is simply pulling the encrypted SSN from the intermediate table.
So my first question would be, is this actually what's going awry? And secondly, is there a way to fix this without touching the source database??
Thanks! I greatly appreciate it! And Happy Holidays!

Hi,
I have studied a variety of online documents explaining built-in SQL Server 2005 encryption, and I'm a bit confused. Every encryption approach, it seems, ultimately replies upon a password that must be provided with queries to access the data. As an application developer, it brings up the obvious question: how should that password be provided? If I build the password into my applications, then it will no longer be secure. On the other hand, I can't possibly expect my users to provide a password every time they perform an action that requires unencrypting data. If I give that password out to 50 users, the password will become public information quickly, I am sure. We will also have to alter the password regularly. Plus several of my applications run as windows services, in which case the user (meaning the windows user under which the service runs) won't be around to type in password.
I have a better solution in mind. Is there an option to limit access to symmetric keys by windows identity? As a best-standards-abiding coder, all of my sql server access is done via Windows Authentication instead of SQL Server Authentication. Why not make it so that myorgjoe and myorgsally can access the symmetric key for a particular column, but nobody else? This way there is still a password involved, but it is now moved further up the application layers; it is the windows password that the user originally used to log into their machine to run the application.
Is there a way to make it so that access to symmetric keys (or asymmetric keys which encrypt symmetric keys) is decided solely on the basis of windows user identity?
Thank you for any thoughts!

I read a couple of articles related to encryption topic in this forum and I feel that's really helpful I don't know if anyone has some knoeledge about the encryption issues in replication and clustering environment. I read some documents from Microsoft web site that explains how to move an encrypted database from its original server to another new server instance. That cause a lot manual works, if the database master key has been encrypted by the original service master key and you still want to enjoy the auto-open feature in the new environment. As we know the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 has a hierarchy encryption key structure and its top level service master key is really service oriented. For what kind of mechanism or set up, Microsoft makes their encrypted database working smoothly and automatically in a clustered and replicated infrastructure. Is that possible to sacrifice the security a bit by dump the service master key for database master key and make database more portable? I search the web site all the way, but couldn't find the related topic. Anybody has a good idea or experience to share?
Thanks,

Hi;
I've been using SQL Server 2005 on vista and everything was fine until today. I cannot start the SQL Server service from the services list; it gives the error "Windows could not start the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) on Local Computer....., and refer to service-specific error code -2146885628.". I looked at the evet log; the first error message is "FallBack certificate initialization failed with error code 1." then an information message: "Unable to initialize SSL encryption because a valid certificate could not be found, and it is not possible to create a self-signed certificate.".
I've created many test certificates till now (to test WCF services security features) using makecert.exe and nothing went wrong; the last certificate I made was named "localhost"; so I thought there's a problem because of that; I deleted that certificate but still cannot start SQL Server.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
I am getting the following error message, when I was trying to execute an existing SSIS Package which was working properly before.
"Failed to Start Package
Cannot communicate with the debug host process. Failed to obtain child process active object. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)"
So I tried creating a new package and execute it, still I am getting the same error message.
If anyone have come across this problem and rectified it, pls let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Prakash Srinivasan

We installed the SQL Server 2005 Developer edition on one of our test server after uninstalling the beta version. Also, we had to rename an entry in the registry to get the install (all components) to work. When I tried to start Integration Services (all the other servers started OK), I get the following error in the Event log.
Microsoft SSIS Service failed to start.
Error: Method 'GetVersionInfo' in type.
Any ideas on how to get SSIS to start.
