OPENDATASOURCE / OPENROWSET Via NT Authentication
May 10, 2002Does anyone know if OPENDATASOURCE or OPENROWSET can be called via NT authentication, rather than with a SQL Login? If so, what would be the correct syntax to use?

Openrowset Opendatasource
Feb 8, 2008
I need to read a tables in an acess database. The access database has no user/password. All the examples of openrowset show a userid and password. How do I read access table without them?
Should I use opendatasource?

OPENROWSET And OPENDATASOURCE Truncation To 255 Characters
Dec 21, 2004I have the following T-SQL commands which run without errors:
select Description_Text
from OpenRowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};
DefaultDir=D:Import;','select * from company_finance.csv')
select Description_Text
from OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source=D:Import;Extended Properties="Text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"')...company_finance#csv
When I run either command on our TEST server, all the text in the fields retrieved is returned, but when I run on our PRODUCTION server, all fields are truncated to 255 characters. The source file company_finance.csv is identical on both servers. Both servers have the same O/S (Win 2K Server), same version of SQL Server 2000 and MDAC (2.71). I cannot figure out if the problem is on the SQL Server side, or has something to do with some registry settings or something else, but both the Text Driver and the Jet drivers produce the similar results on each servers. Are there some config settings in SQL Server or in the registry I can look at to determine why the truncation is occurring? Help!
Thanks for your time.
OpenRowSet And OpenDataSource Fail On Production To Open Excel Data

OPENDATASOURCE Via NT Authentication Within SQL Agent Job
Dec 2, 2005Hi,
I have written a stored procedure which extracts job history from all our servers using the OPENDATASOURCE function using NT authentication.
It's works fine when the stored procedure is called from Query Analyser, however I want it to be called hourly so are calling it from a SQL agent job.
I have set the job to run as myself, and the owner is myself, but the procedure fails when trying to connect to the first server, giving the error :-
"Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. about to query : aadmin01 [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. [SQLSTATE 28000] (Error 18452). The step failed."
It doesn't seem to be able to make the NT authenticated connection when the OPENDATASOURCE function is called from within the context of a SQL agent job.
I know a solution may be to use a regular SQL login for the OPENDATASOURCE calls, but this means hard-coding passwords into the stored procedure - I'd read this is bad practice.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks
Using Openrowset To Retrieve Data From A Server Under Windows Authentication
Oct 5, 2007Hi,

OpenDataSource Quandary
Aug 17, 2007I am trying to open and query a Microsoft Access "like" database from SQL Server 2000 using OpenDataSource. This will work for a little while, but if I am to update my ASP.NET code base I have to completely reboot the machine for these queries to work again. I also have two reboot the machine periodically because this functionality decides to crap out. I am doing this from a stored procedure. My code looks like this:DECLARE @SelectCode varchar(5000)SET @SelectCode ='SELECT CONVERT(varchar, Value) AS UnitName FROMOPENDATASOURCE(''Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'', ''Data Source = "' + @Path + @DataFile + '.fcd";User ID=Admin;Password=;'')...Properties WHERE Property LIKE ''UnitName'''EXEC(@SelectCode)Now, when I am developing on my local machine that uses Windows Authentication, I have absolutely no problems, unless the source file has a schema error.Any ideas?

Jan 13, 2008Hi all, In a select sql statement, I have to query 2 databases from 2 different servers. The only way I found to do this, is to call OPENDATASOURCE like this :<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:bdConnectionString1 %>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Table1] t1 left join OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=servername;Initial Catalog=xxx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxx;Password=xxx').dbname.dbo.table2 t2 on t1.id = t2.id"> </asp:SqlDataSource>My question is the following :Is there a way to connect to the second server without using the full server declaration into the sql statement ? For information, the server connection is already declare into my web.config like that :<add name="bdConnectionString2" connectionString="Data Source=servername;Initial Catalog=xxx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxx;Password=xxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />so is there a way to use 'bdConnectionString2' directly ?If not, is there a way to connect to the second server without entering informations like User ID and Password ? My problem being that I'm not sure it's safe to send this informations directly from the asp.net page. Thank you

On both servers, the database, schema and table names are the same.
Running SQL2K SP4 on both servers. Don't want to set up linked servers, as they will only connect on a scheduled basis to perform updates.
Other queries such as insert work, as well as update OPENDATASOURCE( . . .) set x=L.x from schema.table where . . . so it's a prob with the From clause of the update.
Am I missing something, or is what I'm trying to do just not possible?

Updating Remote Table With OPENDATASOURCE
May 25, 2008Greetings all
Have another issue with OPENDATASOURCE
The following SQL appears to run successfully:
Update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=******').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.SALESDAY
set STARTDTTM = L.STARTDTTM,ENDDTTM = L.ENDDTTM,CLOSED = L.CLOSED,
CASHEDUP = L.CASHEDUP,CASHINTILL = L.CASHINTILL,CHEQUESINTILL = L.CHEQUESINTILL,
EPSALES = L.EPSALES,EPCUTORETURN = L.EPCUTORETURN,REPFLAG = R.REPFLAG
from OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=******;Password=*****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.SALESDAY AS R inner join
TSADMIN.SALESDAY as L on R.SALESDAYID = L.SALESDAYID where L.REPFLAG = 1
However, all records in the remote table get updated if there are any records satisfying the REPFLAG clause, if more than 1 then I guess the last record in the source set.
Running the same SQL against 2 tables in the local DB works perfectly.
These are both MSDE V8.00.2039 SP4 connecting via RAS dial up.
Any ideas where to focus my attention will be gratefully received
Thanks
<EDIT>
Haven't solved the issue, but staggered around it. I have simply reversed the tables in the SQL and executed at the remote server instead, so it is updating a local table while getting data from a remote table. This functions as it should. Any clues to the above would still be good tho' - cheers

Mar 25, 2004Hello,
(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.
Any ideas??
Using SQL Authentication And Windows Integrated Authentication Concurrently
May 15, 2006Hi all,
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?
Thanks.
Authentication An Application Using Windows Integrated Authentication
May 12, 2006Hi all,
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.
Thanks!

SQL Server Authentication Vs Windows Authentication

View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing Windows Authentication V/s Mixed Authentication
Dec 18, 2006Hi,
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.
Thanks
