ODBC SQL Server Driver-Canot Generate SSPl Context
Mar 24, 2006
Dear all,
I am getting the message "Canot generate SSPI context",while i am working in a client system.I hope this is something related to networking.How to solve the problem.I can not connect to SQL Server once i got above mentioned message.
Please give your advice to understand and rectify the problem.
Please help share with me if you know the version compatibility matrix of Ms SQL Server, ODBC driver (sqlsrv32.dll), Driver Manager (odbc32.dll) and ODBC API spec. For instance, how can I know Ms SQL Server 2000 can work with which version of sqlsrv32.dll, a particular version of sqlsrv32.dll can work with which version of odbc32.dll and a certain version of sqlsrv32.dll/odbc32.dll conforms to which version of ODBC API spec (e.g. 3.5).
Our end users is getting below error, when they try to connect to our database:
"Cannot generate SSPI Context."
That is Windows based application and we have done everything like restart our DB Server , reinstall exe in users system, but still issue is same.The issue has occured from when DB Server has restarted and at the same time few users are connected. before that it was working fine. we could not find what is issue.
I have gone through so many kb articles to understanding the problem, but no luck as yet.
Here is the situation:
I have two dev servers : Server A and Server B. Both are set up in an identical fashion. Windows 2003 sp2, Sql Server 2005 sp1 Developer Edition, both are on the same domain, Both have all the three protocols enabled: Shared Memory, Tcpip, and Named Pipes in that order. I can ping both servers, and telnet using the default port. Both have only default instances. Both use the same domain user account for sql service. Both have the error in the log saying that spn could not be registered so authentication may fall back to NTLM.
Here is the issue: When I try to register Server A specifying tcp-ip connection, I am successful and I can see that the authentication is NTLM - is as expected. since the spn registration did not happen and since the sqlservice account is not a domain admin, the authentication used NTLM over tcp-ip. However, I try to register Server B specifying tcpip, I get a cannot generate sspi context error. Why did the authentication not fall back to NTLM as in Server A? From what I read in the KB articles, I asked our network admin to check up the spn, but he assures me that spn were never manually registered.
Hi-I have a program that I am developing on a laptop, then deploying it on a server.I have the prgram running passing a username and PW in the connection object, but like the idea of using windows authentication MUCH better.I just joined the domain, so I am domain/me for example.If I log into the server, and look at securities, logins and added domain/me to the logins.I then try and set up a sql connection via both visual studio, and sql server magt studio, and get the dreaded "Cannot generate SSPI context" error. Anyone else have this problem? SHOULD V.S. be using domain/me to connect? TIA dan
trying to install sql server2005 on a windows 2003 server box.
getting msg below at the sql server . i looked at other posts on trying to uninstall SQL Native Access Client and norton antivirus. i could never find the snac on the add - remove programs and this server does not have a virus protection program yet.
here's the history of the installs on the server:
wanted to test a 2005 upgrade so:
1) installed sql server 2000 then sp4 then restored some databases to it - all OK
2) tried to upgrade to sql 2005 but ran into problems and left it at that.
had a disk drive crash on the d drive so lost the installs but not the operating system
when the drive was replaced, left alone for a while
then wanted to test a straight 2005 install
1) removed the broken 2005 attempt
2) removed the 2000
3) installed 2005 and got the error on the subject line:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup ------------------------------
SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified Refer to server error logs and setup logs for more information. For details on how to view setup logs, see "How to View Setup Log Files" in SQL Server Books Online.
i've gone through as many of the forums that i can and have tried several things - like uninstalling 2005 and installing pieces and parts but but nothing seems to work.
i am attempting to run phpbb using ms sql 2005 on the same box but get the following error during the setup
Could not connect to the database, see error message below. [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
i am not sure yet if this is an issue with sql, php or phpbb
php is installed in iis and has all the modules installed which the php msi installer supported. i can run php code but in this case when i'm running the install.php file for the phphbb setup, i fill in the values for the database and got that error
phpbb detects all the required server settings and sees that i have ms sql installed
any suggestions on what that error means or how to go about configuring odbc driver?
probably a simple issue. but i'm still new with sql stuff
On localhost this application works fine but when I put on remote server. I am getting following errors. For both localhost and server, I am using same remote sql 2000. I will appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Arif

I am using SSIS 2014 with the below .net framework version and installed in Windows server 2012 R2 . I have installed my client's odbc drivers (both 32 bit and 64 bit) in my production server and created ODBC system DSNs for 32 bit and 64 bit.
When i open SSIS 2014 and tried to create the odbc connection but i can able to see only the 32 bit system DSN connection ,i can't able to see my 64 bit odbc system dsn connection.

And i installed my client odbc drivers(32,64 bit) and created ODBC system DSNs in my local system and when i open ssis 2014 and i can able to see both the ODBC system DSNS(32,64) connections from SSIS ODBC connection.
I am using below version of .net framework in my local system which was installed in windows 7 and i have SSIS 2012 also installed in my system and i can able to see both ODBC connections using 2012 as well in my local system.

why i can not see the ODBC 64 bit system DSN connection from SSIS in my production server ?
I am using VB.NET 2005 and set up an ODBC connection via ODBC.ODBCConnection to a MDB database. Therefor, I use the "Microsoft Access ODBC Driver (*.mdb)".
When I set up a ODBCCommand like "ALTER DATABASE..." or "CREATE TABLE..." and issue it with the com.ExecuteNonQuery() command, I get an error from ODBC driver, that a SQL statement has to begin with SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE.
How can I use DDL statements via ODBC?
I would appreciate if you could help me to use ODBC for that - no OLE, no ADO.
I have a problem with ODBC Driver for SQL Server 6.5. The user always receive the following message in client machine when try to access the application : "08S01 : [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication link failure".
Hi, When Iam browsing my website, It showing an error:

I am experiencing the following error in a server 2003 and SQL 2005 environment. I don't know much about SQL, and any help would be appreciated. I have been told to look at the ODBC, as well as several items in SQL. But alas I have not been able to do much with it. Software program was purchased and support for the system is extremely limited.

All of a sudden I cannot connect to sql server from Visual Studio. Nor I can't conenct to Sql server through IIS and it gives me the same error saying "Login failed: Cannot Generate SSPI Context". Lots of my development projects got stuck because of the SSPI Issue. I know there was a network upgrade from Windows NT (users) to Active directory. I can only access the sql server from the host machine.if someone can guide or give me a quick run down on things to look for that would be wonderful.
HiMy company uses a Windows 2000 server with MS SQL Server 2000.We have many clients with administrative software that use the MS SQLserver, the problem is that we experimented randomly the error"Cannot Generate SSPI Context" and the only way to work with DB is logout the client.I'm looking the MS Technical sheet but there's no resolving hints thatcan help.Anyone has a similar problem ?Thanks.
Win Server 2003 SQL Server 2000 SP4 SharePoint Server
Win Server 2000 (Domain Controller / Active Drectory)
Clients: Win XP / Access XP
I have two clients that can access the SQL Server and one that can not. All clients can access SharePoint (SLQ Server Back end) and directories controlled by AD.
The one that cannot access the SQL Server errors: "Cannot Generate SSPI Context". I have verified: 1) date and time 2) occurances of Security.DLL (win/system32; program file/common files/AOL...; Service Pack Files/i386 (x2)) 3) Not using cached credentials
we recently moved our network and did not change any settings on any of the computers. I read KB811889; those suggestions did not resolve the issue.
Please assist me in touble shooting this connection problem. Also, how does changing the SQL Server Port on the server affect SharePoints connection to its database?
I have a SQL Server 2000 in a specific W2K server, that belongs to a domain that is administered by a W2003 server.
There is a client that has a new computer with WXP in the same domain. It used to have an old machine with W2K pro. and with the same user it worked OK.
When accesing SQL from the client with an Office2003 application via ODBC with windows authentication, after several minutes working OK, suddenly it gets this message:
Conection error. SQL state: S1000
Cannot generate SSPI context.
In the client I have executed cliconfg.exe and created a piped name protocol, but still it won't work.
Firstly, I have read through so much information on this, that my eyes are starting to bleed and I am right at the end of my rope with it all..
This issue has only started showing since I re-installed my dev box, so my server has not changed at all..
Server is 2003 with SQL 2005.
Dev box is
Vista (Ultimate)
Visual Studio Pro 2005..
A quick but painful solution is for me to log out of my box and then back in, but this is unworkable at times... about the only difference I can think of this install from the last is that now I have also installed SQLExpress on the dev box. I have gone into services and made sure that the service does not start auto. I have connection to the server and am running as administrator on both until such time as I can sort this out, but the error still occurs.
Authentication for the dbase is both windows and credential.
Can someone please give me a stratight out solution for this.
I'm signing into a sqlexpress 2005 local server using windows integration and it fails with a "Cannot generate SSPI context". After 2 years of working with this, it just started to happen after I installed a new piece of software to test. My colleague thinks it hosed our domain names. I've read all the articles and most of them have to do with a non-local server. I also read that this is caused with TCP/IP so I disabled it for sqlexpress and tried again. Then I get "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to the sql server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings sql server does not allow remote connections." I know I have remote enabled so that isn't true. If it uses VIA, "Login failed for user '(null)'. Not a trusted sql connection" or something like that. Anyway, I think something is hosed in my domain and my colleague fixed it by downloading some xp tool that he can't remember where it came from. Any chance anyone else knows about this tool?
I have a new MS SQL 7 server with patch 3. I am getting this error from a MS SQL client pc, whend I use the SQL server Query analyzer, both logon options "SQL Server or Windows authentication" I even tried the SA account.
here is the error I get.
MSG 6 Level 16 State 1 ODBC SQL Server Driver name Pipes specified SQL Server not found.
I am using SQL Server 7.0 Desktop Edition on Windows NT 4.0 workstation with service pack 6. I'm connecting to my production servers using the Enterprise Manager.A couple of months back, I have installed SQL Server 2000 Evaluation Edition on my desktop and using it to access the production servers.A couple of days back, I was not able to connect to the Query Analyzer either through Enterprise Manager or directly. I am getting the following error:
ODBC: Msg 0, Level 16, State 1 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Timeout expired. All our production servers are in a data center. I'm able to connect to the production servers in one particular cage but it is giving the above error if I try to connect to other servers which are in different cages. My colleague is able to connect to all the servers through Query Analyzer from his machine which has only SQL Server 7.0.I uninstalled SQL Server 2000 on his suggestion but it is giving the same error. I uninstalled and installed SQL Server 7.0 but I'm still getting the same problem. Could you please throw some light on why this is happening ?
We will be converting shortly from 6.5 to 7. We have a widely used application that currently accesses the SQL 6.5 using SQL Server odbc driver version 2.6
Will the 2.6 driver work with 7.0 and ff not, what will we have to do to get it work with 7.0?
I am trying to populate a View. I can run the sql code successfully by using SQL Query Analyzer. However, When I try to open the View in SQL Enterprise Manager and request that all rows be returned, I receive the following error:

I cannot determine the cause, Can anyone help me determine why the message is occurring? Thank you.

when i try to connect to the remote sql db (the asp page code has remained unchanged), i get this error: Quote: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
/Default.asp, line 567 line 567 is the attempt to open the connection (again, no code changes).
The ODBC reg tree has the IUSR internet guest account permissions.
When I try to create a system DSN via the ODBC manager on the current, working system, I can see a list of the SQL boxes on the network. When I try the same on the new 2003 server...our SQL server list isn't displayed.
Any ideas on why I'm getting this error in the asp page? {UPDATE} Creating a system DSN on the new 2003 server works, if the "Named Pipes" network libraries are choosen in the set up. If the TCP/IP network libraries are choosen...the connection fails. Named pipes uses port(s) 445 & 139. The TCP/IP libraries use port 1433.
Why would Named pipes work and not TCP/IP?
Thanks.
P.S. I posted this in the O/S forum, but it looks like no one browsing that forum can help on this, so it was suggested I post in the DB forum. http://forums.devshed.com/showthrea...061#post1086061
I am getting the below error when I try to access the table in 2005 database through 3rd party application from the application server.
“[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Connection is busy with results for another hstmt�
This database was restored from sqlserver 2000, so the ODBC connection in the application server first was pointing to 2000 database and now its dropped and recreated to point to the 2005 database.
I dont get this error message when I do the same action from my pc.
I google'd on this error message, and I am not sure if the driver has to be upgraded or if there is anything else that I am missing here.
