Newbie Problems Adding ASPNET User To SQL Express Logins (Vista)
Apr 30, 2008
Hello,
I am trying to create an ASPNET Login for a SQL Server express Database (As Installed via Visual Studio) so my ASP Web Applications can invoke the Database. But SQLServer Managemnt Tool is not recognising any ASPNET user names I try.
I am trying to add via Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, but get an error
" An Object (User or Built-in Security principal) with the following name cannot be found "mycomputerASPNET". "
Any obvious reason why ASPNET is not being recognised as a Login object object
Unfortunately I am on VISTA and IIS7 ( I have enabled, and checked that ASP Applications Run.)
- The process works OK on my other XP machine, ASP.NET via IIS 5.1, which seems more straightforward to set up.
I am kind of new with .Net development and really new with using SqlExpress. Here is my question, I hope it is easy:
I have a shareware program that I have been selling since 2000 and it was written in VB6 using a third party database program. What I would like to do is rewrite this application using C# and SqlServer Express. The program as it stands right now is about 5mb to download and install.
My concerns:
1) How do I embed and quietly install sqlserver express to the end user's computer without them having any intervention?
2) By using sqlserver express as my database how much extra overhead is going to be included in the install package? I want to keep the install package as small as possible and the user experience of installing the program as painless as possible.
Sql 2005 I want to grate execute permissions on my stored procedures to a role. While creating the role, it asks for "schemas owned by this role". To me, the schema is merely a namespace that allows you to group objects, but arent schemas such as db_datawriter roles that are central to the db and only admin type users should have ownership of these, correct ?
In a nutshell, I want to: create a new role and assign a user to that role with a stored procedure, grant execute permissions to this role
I was confused by the sql 2005 dialog that asks me to take ownership of roles such as db_datawriter, db_datareader etc, wouldnt that mess up other things with the database ?
help ...
I think its time I review all of the above items role user login schema
I just moved my website to a shared host, and I face some trouble. Since there is more than one DB on the SQL server they don't want to create a ASPNET user. Is there a way to make my SQLCommand use my user name instead of ASPNET ?
Otherwise, can anyone explain to me the result of the ASPNET user on other website who will use the same server as me security wise ?
I am going though the ASP.NET QuickStart tutorials. One of the lessons is to add a datagrid. I am able to do that with VWD and am able to connect to the database in VWD. However when I try to execute the application I get a "Login failure" message because the user pcName/ASPNET cannot login. How do I add the ASPNET user to the SQLExpress database? There don't seem to be any administration tools that were installed with SQL Server Express 2005. Thanks in advance for the help!
I am trying to add aspnet user to sqlexpress. I am able to select the asp.net however when I click on OK button, it is asking me to enter a name for it. COuld you tell me what name I should enter? I tried computernameaspnet didn't help? is there better way to do this? thanks for your help Cemal
I have developed an asp.net application and have deployed it to the web server. The application accesses an SQL Server to allow users to make changes to data. My connection string is the following:
On the SQL Server side, I have a trigger that logs when changes are made and by whom. The suser_sname returns <Servername>ASPNET as the user making the change. Why is this? Should it not be the user id of the user? If the SQL Server thinks that the current user is ASPNET then how can it make changes when this is not a user defined for the database.
The web site is set up to allow for Integrated Windows Authentication only. SQL Server is on the same machine as the web server.
I am using MSDE in an ASP .NET application using forms authentication in order to the user can visit my website anonymously but have to authenticate in some pages.
Web server and MSDE server are in the same computer.
I would like to know how role I should set for the ASPNET sql server user. I am using Microsoft SQL Web Data Administrator and when I am creating the ASPNET user, then a page with some roles is shown.
Roles like public (default), db_owner, db_accessadmin, db_datareader, db_datawriter...
I had applied db_datareader and db_datawriter but now, when I use store procedures in my code, an error is made so I have applied db_owner role for the ASPNET user.
Is this correct or db_owner is a excessive privileged role for the ASPNET user?
The objective is to configure on a dev machine. Selecting New Database User is the easy part as the ***ASPNET user can be selected from the drop down listbox. What follows and what to do next is a myriad of choices. What needs to be done next? Is there a step-by-step document somewhere that you can refer?
can anyone help me with this error message, i follow the instruction of someone in other forum, but i cant find where the SQL Server Enterprise manager is, i am using MSDE.
Hello,I am getting following error when I tried to connect to the database. Login failed for user 'SHALINIASPNET' I am new to this and don't know how to fix it. I am running SQL Server Desktop engine 2000. I could connect through Server Explorer window, but not through ADO.NETHere's my connection string: sConnectionString = "Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=MyStore;Data Source=SHALINI;Workstation ID=SHALINI" I have IIS and SQL Server running on the same machine.Please please help me.Thanks in Advance
We have an ASP.net application that currently sits on a server that runs IIS and sql server. We are spliting IIS and SQL server into 2 seperate machines. I believe I have the connection string okay as I can see the entries in the security log on the sql server machine however it keeps saying aspnet user invalid user or invalid password. What gives with this. We put .net on the sql server however this just added the aspnet user to the machine. Do I need to create an aspnet user inside the sql server and give it control of the dbases as well? I am running this using the personal web server not IIS on a server. I have a project on my desktop and am using the "local" IIS or personal web server that comes with visual studio out of the box. What kills me is that when I put the project on a real IIS server that has sql server on the same machine I have no issues. However when I split the dbase and the IIS apart onto 2 servers I get this aspnet invalid user or invalid password. HELP
I am at a company with 18 employees and I have 11-12 databases in SQL server. I can't seem to give logins and permissions to groups. Is there a simpler way, or do I have to add every single employee to each database and give permissions?
Hi I created my DB in SQL 2005 Express in VS IDE. I have my app in IIS. When I try to use the DB (e.g. try to login a user in the app) it gives me the following error: Cannot open database "cvRepository" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'MyPCASPNET'. My guess was that I had to give permissions to ASPNET user so I did in SQL Server Management. Still not working! Checked my Connection string and I think it's fine... connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Database=cvRepository;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" Still not working! Can anyone explain me what's wrong and to solve this?!
Hi all, I am new to ASP .NET and now I have been messing two days with the connection thing. I use the Visual Studio 2003 provided drag and drop SqlDataAdapter and SqlConnection to connect to the SQL 2000 server, developer edition (configured with the Windows authentication mode), but whenever I tried I always got a "Login failed for user mymachine/ASPNET" error. Can anyone help me with this? I have also tried, as somebody did, adding one line "<identity imperonate="true"/> to the Web.config file, but had the same kind of error. Do I have do make some change to my SQL server? Thanks a lot! Charlize

Respected Members, I have a question, when our aspx page is trying to access the SQL Server 2000 database than before this do we have to creaete a user with the name of ASPNET in SQL Server 2000, or without creating this paticular user(its the default user of ASP.NET account) our aspx pages can also access the SQL Server 2000,I have already SQL Server 2000 running in "SQL Server Authentication Mode" so while creating the user do I have to create it in "Windows Authentication" or "SQL Server Authentication", can you provide some link where I could find complete steps for craeting the ASPNET user or if some one can tell all the steps in details here.
I've been trying to workout how, without impersonation, I can allow an application running under the default ASPNET user to access a network resource (SQL Server/ADAM) not on the same physical machine.
It seems that because the ASPNET user is a local user not a domain user I can't setup windows authentication on the network resource. That seems to leave impersonation which MS et al say is unwise.
I've just started to learn to use Visual Studio, and has come to database access. I ran into this errormessage:
access denied for user <machine name>ASPNET
The book I'm using just only say that I have to grant the ASPNET user account permissions before the Web application will have access to a SQL database. ... Seems clear at first glance ... but I lack a "how to" ...!
---
I've tried to search the net for solutions ... several thousands of pages came up ... indicating that I'm far from the first who have this problem. ... So after I now have spend hours reading, without finding any useful ansver to the question. ...
So let me just tell the most popular answers. (So You don't repeat something I allready have read hundreds of times.): This question has been asked before Yes, true answer, but it doesn't help.
See the FAQ If it was stated were in the FAQ to look it could have been useful.
Use something called "enterprise manager" (WIN XP pro, don't have this, though.) I use WIN XP pro, so that answer dosn't help me either.
Im getting ASP.Net 2.0 Beta 2 setup on my home machine to kick around with. Im assuming this error means i have SqlServer Express mis-configured for integrated security. if so, how do i go about making sure that the ASPNET user has at least read access to the Database?

I hope anyone can help me with this. I am having problems connecting to the aspnet database. It all started when I noticed that I could not log in to my webapplication anymore under debug mode, although I was able to log in when remotely accessing the website. I got the error message that the machineaspnet user did not have access to the database: "Login failed for user 'GM-FEDORSASPNET' "This was highly peculiar and rather annoying so I tried several things to straighten this out, but it only made things worse!I read that this had to with permissions of the database in question, al though I could not understand why permissions suddenly had changed. I tried to change the rights by attaching it to Management Studio Express and defining an aspnet login, but that failed because a login under that name was not accepted. I tried to make a copy of aspnet.mdf, delete the original and rename the copy to aspnet.mdf. When that didn't work, I then deleted the aspnet.mdf, counting on it that it would be regenerated automatically, but alas. I located the aspnet_regsql.exe tool to regenerate the database, but got the following error message: System.Web.HttpException: Unable to connect to SQL Server database. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)What can I do?
I do not understand the sequence in which to add logins/users. A coupleof things to note. I can not use vbscript - it has to be done using thesqldmo objects (or in a sql script).The sequence I use now is:1- create login, set default db2- add login to sql server3- set db owner4- create user5- add user to master db6- add user to tempdb - blows up hereError 'Microsoft SQL-DMO: [SQL-DMO]This object is already in acollection.'I need the user in 3 dbs. Any help greatly appreciated. Thinking aboutit...I bet by adding it to the master db that it is automatically addedto tempdb so I will try to add it to the 2rd db and see if that works.Thanks!-Will
We have an AAG environment. In order for the failover to be transparent we have to ensure that the login that is added in the Primary node is also added to the secondary node. Currently, we are adding the logins to the secondary node manually. Is there a way to automate this process so that a Login added to the Primary node is automatically updated on the Secondary Node.
How do I add login user ASPNET to my SQL 2000 Desktop Engine Server?. I can not find the "Server Manager" in the Start - Programs. Is there any other way to get around adding ASPNET login to the SQL server so I can test my VB program. I got the error: Login failed for user 'com_nameASPNET'.
I wanted to deploy my Sql 2005 reports to my local machine and want it to get viewed by all the users through Asp.Net application.
User can directly view the reports by clicking on the direct link to report but when they try to view it using application having Report Viewer, running on iis it gives acess denied 401 error and can't view the reports
If I make my application to run on default port then it works fine
If I give rights to <particularMachineNameASPNET> then that user can view the report but if there are 100 users then will i Add 100 such entries???
I am currently in the process of setting up an SQL Server Express installation that comes packaged with an application I have written. My problem is that I want to use SQL Server user management (not just windows users) which work fine if I set them up manually. I started writing a script that I have SSEUtil execute once the application is fully installed (a step in my installation script) which sets up the users and passwords etc. The script is similar to the following:
ALTER USER user1 WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MySchema ALTER USER user2 WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MySchema ALTER USER user3 WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MySchema ALTER USER user4 WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MySchema GO
REVOKE ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table1 FROM MyRole REVOKE ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table2 FROM MyRole REVOKE ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table3 FROM MyRole REVOKE ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table4 FROM MyRole GO
EXEC sp_DropRole 'MyRole' EXEC sp_AddRole 'MyRole' GO
GRANT ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table1 TO MyRole GRANT ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table2 TO MyRole GRANT ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table3 TO MyRole GRANT ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table4 TO MyRole GO
Now if I run this script from within SQL Server Management Studio it executes perfectly. The logins add, the role is added, each user is added to the database logins and assigned to the role, the schema is set correctly on each user.
Then when I try to run the exact same script from the SSEUtil application (SSEUTIL -s PCNAMEInstance -run USERS.SQL), it processes everything, except the Logins.
This is frustrating as it means to install for a client I would need to either get them to open the management console and run the script from there, or I have to go to site just to setup users.
Am I on the right track? Or is there another way to automate the adding of Logins?
set up asp .net user account on sql server 2005Question:
I've read the instructions in this article: http://www.netomatix.com/Development/aspnetuserpermissions.aspxBut do not know how to do this:You can grant 'Network Service' or 'ASPNET' user accounts permissions to connect to database.Please provide example on how to do this, thanks!
I am having problems connecting to the database. I am trying to use Membership API and for some reason it will no longer connect to the database. I previously had Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and it worked just fine, until I tried to install MS SQL Express. I have tried the aspnet_regsql and sqlcmd InstallCommon.sql and both times I received a named pipe error. I look at the configuration and it said named pipes enabled.
I eventually gave up after trying for two days and removed MS SQL Express, but now I am still getting the same error. I tried to uninstall all of the SQL editions and reinstall the MSDE that comes with VS 2005, but I am getting the same error.
When checking the ASP.NET Web Application and testing the provider I receive the following error: Could not establish a connection to the database. If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
The security tab gives you the following error: There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database.
Running the sqlcmd in the command prompt I receive the following error: Sqlcmd: Error: Connection failure. SQL Native Client is not installed correctly. To correct this, run SQL Server Setup.
I have two tables. UserIds is a collection of users, with UserId as the primary key. Contacts simply maps pairs of users. Think of it like IM, where one user can have multiple contacts.
Contacts ------------- UserId - int, the UserId of the user who has the contact ContactUserId - int, the UserId of the contact
I also have a stored procedure named GetConnectedUserIds that returns all the contacts of a given user. It takes a single parameter, @UserId, the UserId of the user whose contacts I want to get. That's pretty simple:
SELECT ContactUserId FROM Contacts WHERE UserId=@UserId.
Now here's where I get over my head. I actually want that stored procedure to return the user's contacts AND the user's own ID. I want the SELECT statement above, but tack on @UserId to the end of it.
How do I do that?
Thanks in advance for any help. Feel free to answer here or to point me to a useful resource.
We have been working on an application that will be using a forms-authenticated report server (RS2005) as a reporting back-end. Using the reporting services web service I have been able to assign permissions to objects in reporting services no problem. The issue is that each user needs to be added to the System User role to be able to use the report builder properly. I can't seem to find a way to do this programmatically. Any idea?
