In the scenario where you are installing MSDE/SQL Server at a customer site (not your own) is this true:
Assuming the customer has a (Windows) login with admin rights (or is a member of the admins group) over the PC which the server was installed on, there is no way of locking the customer out of any part of the SQL Server installation and its databases as Mixed Authentication (which you can't turn off) will always allow members of the (Windows) admins group to also be a member of the SQL Server admins group???
I folks.I Have installed sql server 2005 express and choosed windowsauthentication on instalation, but i make a mistake and now i needmixed authentication, how can i modify this whithout uninstall andinstall again the application?thanks for the help.
Say, I have configured my SQL to use Mixed Authentication. Now, I have a applicaiton which uses my SQL Server. The application just creates a database in SQL Server and uses the database to store its information.
This application also has a SYSTEM DSN under ODBC through which it accesses the database. For the application to access this database, should I only use SA (as my SQL instance is configured to use Mixed Authentication) or can I use Windows Authentcation too...
If I should only use SA, do we have a documentation which talks about this.
Hi All,We have started to get the strangest errors with our SQL Server. We useWindows and SQL Server authentication, and have done successfully forthe last year or so. However last week i had trouble connecting to theenterprise manager with my domain credentials. Users connecting to QueryAnalyser have no problems when using their SQL Server logins, the issueonly seems to arrise when a Domain account is provided forauthentication. If we reboot the server all is well for about 1 - 2hours and then we loose the Domain credentials again. Even SQL Agentfails to work when stated with the DOMAINAdministrator account!As i said this has worked for a long time, and we have not made anychanges to the Domain or installed any patches for any of the servers.The error messages normally involve something along the lines of "NoUser 'NULL' blah blah" and "No Trusted SQL Server". We also have anexcel report that is failing with the SQL Server error number 18452. Ihave looked this up on MSDN, and this seems to fall in to the samecategory as our other errors.Any Ideas?We can't reboot the server every 2 hours!*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
I would like to set 'SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode' of Sql Server 2005 so when user connects to Server he must supply username and password. Here are steps I make :
1. Open Microsoft SQL ServerManagement Studio Express 2. In Object Explorer right click on first (Server) node 3. Select 'Properties' 4. Select Page 'Security' 5. set 'Server authentication' to 'SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode' 6. press OK 7. in popup window fill password ******** and press OK 8. get error message ''operation is not valid due to the current state of the object. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.SqlManagerUI)
First post, so greetings!I've been using ASP.NET 2 authentication from an MS SQL 2k5 database now in the web application for my company's customer accounts (file serving, custom webreports, etc). There is currently no support for employees through this web app, but in our plan to go paperless it's become of interest to let the employees access much of their information through the same web portal. The catch is, I'd rather not make them have to use two accounts (one for their domain authentication and one for their web authentication). It's already taken a lot of conditioning to get them to memorize a single username and password.So what I really need is the single Login.aspx page to accept both ASP.NET logins and Domain digest logins, and the Domain digest login needs to be HTTP based (not named pipes). Is this possible at all, and if so, is it possible without making an isapi filter? After all, Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access is served by the exchange server and accepts active directory passwords. So how could I do authentication in this way, and if so, is it possible to have the Outlook Web Access form be accessible from the same session as that of my web server? Thanks, I surely hope someone can help. . . -Brandon
Hi AllI am trying to switch from Windows to Mixed mode authentication on SQLServer 2000. I am right-clicking the server instance in EnterpriseManager and selecting the correct option from the Security tab.Unfortunately, the change I make does not persist when I click OK. Iget no error message, but when I re-open the server properties, theoption has returned to being Windows authentication.Any ideas?Thanks,Kulgan.
I am trying to create a query that can determine if a user id is using mixed mode/windows/both authentication. I need to do this so that it can run on both sql server 2000 and 2005, meaning I can't use any of the sys.* views. Is there a single query could use for both systems? -Kyle
I need help changing the authentication mode from Windows Authentication to Mixed Mode (for Project Server 2003). I am unable to find the Enterprise Management area. Evidently in this area, I can make this change. Is this the place to make these changes, or is there a better place? I am a novice, only days into this process. I need to setup a Project Server, and it needs Sql to breathe. Please help me!!
I need to change the authentication mode from 'windows' to mixed, its a 4-node participating in always-on... Will this brake/impact alwayson in any way? I know I have to restart the sql instance.
I am trying to setup cached reports so that one of my larger reports doesn't have to be re-run every time someone wants to view it (the data source only updates every 24 hours).
Anyway I made a new data source, set the report to use that, and in that data source I said to use "SQLexampleUserName" as the stored credentials.
Now when I go to run the report it says: Login failed for user 'username'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
Hi there,I have installed MS SQL Server 2005 on my machine with windows authentication. But now I want to switch the authentication mode to SQL Authentication. I am unable to switch, I can’t find the proper way to do so here in 2005.Could any one help me in doing this?Thank you,-Ahsan
(Using win2k, sqlserver2k, framework 1.1) I have an fairly data-heavy application that uses Windows authentication (Trusted connection/aspnet account) to connect to Sql Server. The site uses IIS basic authentication.
On the dev server everything works fine but when I move to the live server things get strange and it starts to crawl along. (Pages load OK but then it just crawls as it loads the datagrids etc. Sometimes it brings back incomplete/incorrect data )
BUT When I use Sql Authentication to connect to Sql Server and there is no problem at all!
Ok, there is something obviously wrong with the live server (which is identical setup to dev)but I dont know where to start.
I've got two applications which both have a database on my MS SQL 2000 server. The problem is, one application must use Windows Integrated Authentication (which it is currently using and cannot be changed) whilst the other application which I'm trying to configure must use a SQL password.
Since the server has already been configured to use Windows Integrated Authentication for the existing database and application, how do I configure the other database to use the SQL password?
My work is using a shared application which accesses a MSSQL 2000 database. To access the application, the folder on the Windows 2003 Server is shared and users can access the folder through a shared drive.
For the application to access the database, it uses an ODBC connection to the MSSQL server which originally used the SA password.
We have recently switched to using Windows Integrated Authentication because we believe it offers a higher level of security. However the only way in which we have been able to enable this is to add the windows users to the SQL server.
The problem with this is that the application sets permissions for individual users on what records they can see within the database. We have found that by adding the windows users to the SQL Server, they can bypass the permissions the set by the application by simply using any application that can use an ODBC connection, such as Enterprise Manager, and see all the database.
One way around this would be to set up domains of users with access privileges to the tables which reflect the permissions set by the application, and configuring a view of the data so they may only see the records that they have permissions to. However to do this would require a high administrative cost to ensure that changes made in the application are reflected in the privileges of the SQL server.
Instead, is there a way the SQL server can authenticate that the ODBC connection is coming from the correct application using Windows Integrated Authentication?
This would allow the applcation to determine security, and stop users from connecting to the SQL server using other applications.
Alternatively, can the SQL server, using Windows Integrated Authentication, also ask the application to supply a username and password?
Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
If I install SQL Server using a certain Windows Login, does that login assume some sort of "sa" alias? (I'm trying to explain the behaviour that when I login in to a server using the same username that I used when i installed the SQL Server instance, using trusted authentication, then use a database within which I haven't created any users, I seem to get full permissions, as if I had gone in as "sa")
After installing SQL Server 2005 I found that I inadvertantly used Windows Authentication Mode and I would like to change to Mixed Mode (Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication) - what is the best way to do this? In Microsoft SQL Server 2000 you could simply go into Enterprise Manager, edit the SQL Server Registration Properties, edit the Properties of the SQL Server and edit the Properties of the SQL Server Agent.
Ok guys, I€™ve summarized doubts regarding SSIS as well as odd behaviour that sometimes I suffer for my lack of knowledge or for other reasons. So this way, I€™m a pain and bore individual only one time€¦
Question 1:
When you have a ForEach container, i.e using as enumeraton ADO and you are debugging and seeing how is going everything, whats tasks are executing and so on, you never knows if those that were in green (executed succesfully) now are executing again or not. Well, I€™ll try to explain better: In every iteration of the loop, tasks previously executed keep its colour (green) instead of turn into white.
Question 2:
Parameter Size property is a new property for Sql Task when you have installed sp2. Well, what is it for really? I mean I€™ve got some .dtsx with Sql Tasks and its values are simply -1
Question 3:
When you€™re debugging a dtsx you have in the bottom locals showing you variables and so on. Problems come when you have more than 40 variables€¦ is there any search tool? Ok, you can use
Question 4:
Outline for the tasks is lost all the time. What a nuisance! Concretely it happens in workstations running either sp1 or sp2. Amazingly it works fine in a server (2003). Memory is not related, I€™m afraid, in all the scenarios 2Gb.
Question 5:
Is it possible disallow math case for variables? Sometimes when you€™re using lots of variables, it€™s easy commit errors when you write code.
Question 6:
Assemblies 1.0/1.1 will be allow in VSA in a future??
Question 7:
Is it possible to change the scope for a variable in run-time? Devious question, I admit€¦
Question 8:
When you€™re writing a Script Task you can export the script into VB extension and then be imported from a project or whatever. What does make sense?
Question 9:
ScriptTask_32dcba2feae9428386d768f38922e162 (that€™s an example) is really stored anywhere? (When you save a script task inside the IDE) Root NameSpace is too symbolic??
Question 10:
I€™m developing against Windows 2003 english version. The whole Sql25k too. No spanish at all but sometimes I receive spanish messages related with SSIS. I don€™t understand how it can be. Nothing to do with for the fact I€™m using Terminal Server, I guess.
Hi! I have quite strange problem, that I haven't seen before. When I use update command: UPDATE categorys SET banner_valid= '0', section_id= '1', main_cat_default= '0', banner= '', b_link= '', external_text= 'NÄ?kotnes parks ', in_frontpage= '1', name = '100. pants' WHERE (id = 130) Then the field EXTERNAL_TEXT should have value NÄ?kotnes parks but instead of this it makes it Nakotnes parks. I changed collation to Latvian and this did not work. But!!! When I open Enterprise manager and just type in NÄ?kotnes parks and save it then it is ok, but it does not work with Update/add script Any help or ideas???
Is it possible to convet a string with characters and numbers to an all numeric value (e.g. '010-112d3') and then perform arithmatic on the converted value?
Here is what I need to do: given the original value of: 01011201 I need to order a result set by asc order of the difference between the original and each individual record.
If this was all numeric I would simply: select...,(01011201 - column1) as difference from table1 order by difference
BUT my recordset looks like this [010-112d3, 01011202, 0a511345...] so I get I get arithmatic overflow errors (due to the characters). Ive tried casting as numeric and binary and even converting the string to ascii value but that only works for single characters. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, This search will be the most common hit on the database so a cursor is not really an option.
I program in C# with SQL Server 2005. I need to connect to Server in security mode.
In connection string I supply UserID = myuser Password = mypassword Persist Security Info = True
In Server I set mixed authentication mode,create login 'mylogin' with password = mypassword after that in my database I create user with username = myuser and loginName = mylogin
There are two problems :
1. in login creation after I fill password, close window and open it again there is old (default) password but not my password 2. Application fails to connect to DB
I am trying to create a graph that consists of a bar chart and line graph - both to appear on the same graph.
They will show different information, but will essentially come from the same dataset.
So far I have not been able to achieve this and it would seem that you cannot mix chart types. This is very disappointing given the plaudits associated with this product.
Can anyone restore my faith in this product by telling me that the above is possible and, if so, how do I go about it.
Let's say I have a result set (records) containing numbers such as:01239162145100101102103104105106How might someone write a procedure to get the next lowest number inthis sequence? In this case it would be: 4. Some combination ofSelect, Min & When, I am sure, but it escapes me at the moment.Thoughts? Thanks...
I have a field in my database which stores product codes. This fieldis a varchar. Some users use characters in their codes but most justuse numbers. Whenever I go to sort the products by code the order ofthe numbers go something like: 1, 100, 101, 2, 210, 220, 2500, 3, ...I understand why this is sorted this way but is there anyway I canhave it sort the numbers in their proper numeric order (1,2,3,100,....) and just have them always appear before any codes that containcharacters? Right now I just have users put zeros in front of theirnumbers like: 0001, 0100, 0101, 0002, ...
Hi, I'm seeing confusing results coming back from a query and I want to make sure my joins are working as expected.
I have 3 tables, tbl_family, tbl_familyPhone, and tbl_phone. tbl_FamilyPhone is a linking table between families and phones that specifies if it's the primary number.
So a family has many familyPhones and a phone has many family phones. I'm trying to get all the families and their home phone only, if they have one. I don't want families to duplicate and I don't want any left out. Here's what I've got
Code Snippet select [whatever]
from tbl_family LEFT OUTER JOIN tbl_familyphone on tbl_family.pk_familyid = tbl_Familyphone.fk_familyid inner JOIN tbl_phone on tbl_familyphone.fk_phoneID = tbl_phone.pk_phoneid and tbl_phone.fk_phonetypeid = 'E6F1688E-015B-481D-8C41-DCC1FEA5D5AB'
My thinking is the inner join between tbl_Phone and tbl_FamilyPhone will cause any FamilyPhone record without a phone record to be left out (fk_phonetypeid is the id of a home phone). Though some FamilyPhone records may be left out, I will not lose any families because it is left outer joined to familyphone. Is this right? Because if I just do select count(*) from families I get 4517 records, but when running the query above with the joins, I get 4383 records.
Currently in production we have a publisher, remote distributor, and subscriber all running 2000.
We want to upgrade the subscriber and possibly the remote distributor to 2005 while leaving the publisher 200 for now, i need a good link or article about the proper proceudre to accomplish this.
I have a mixed CLR assembly (including native C++ and manage C++). Can I use this assembly in SQL SERVER 2005 or 2008? I know pure managed assemblies work fine. Thanks.
I have a question for ya’ll. Our company plans on migrating to active directory soon. I would like to use mixed mode for security. My question is, will this work? Can SQL 6.5 pick up on Active directory or is this handled at the OS layer?
We are upgrading a production database server to new hardware. The server is currently running SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition. We are thinking about installing SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition, however that would mean the test server (2000 Standard) and production server (2000 Enterprise) have different edtions of SQL Server. How much of a risk does this present? Later in the year we would upgrade test to SQL Server 2000 EE, but for a couple of months the environments would be different.
I am trying to convert all my client first and last names in my table to uppercase. They are currently listed as mixed case. Also I wanted to know what is the best way to force the data to UPPERCASE hwen a end user tries to insert or update the clients name. I am thinking about trying a trigger, but I am unsure how to set it up. Thanks for all the help.
