Proxy Account/Credential

Feb 14, 2008

There is one thing that��s confusing me in creating a proxy account.

I am trying to get an SSIS package configured as a SQL Server job and execute it from a non-sysadmin login. But when I execute it gives the error message:

Non-SysAdmins have been denied permission to run DTS Execution job steps without a proxy account. The step failed.

I know that we have to create a proxy account for this to happen and creating of proxy account prompts me to choose a credential, and that is where I do not understand the logic. From MS website I can find the following, but it is confusing to me

This proxy account must use a credential that lets SQL Server Agent run the job as the account that created the package or as an account that has the required permissions.

ref: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;918760

I tried reading all the related articles, but still the process of creating the credential is confusing to me, can someone throw some light on the logic of proxy/credential here?

Thanks

Xp_cmdshell Does Not Execute For Non-sysadmin Account Even With Proxy Account

Mar 2, 2004

Hi all, i hope you can help me.

Basically a dts package has been setup that pulls in data from another companies server, this data requires to be on-demand i.e individual users can pull in updates of the data when they require it.

I am using xp_cmdshell and dtsrun to pull in the data. This obviouly works fine for me as i am a member of sysadmin.

Books online quotes " SQL Server Agent proxy accounts allow SQL Server users who do not belong to the sysadmin fixed server role to execute xp_cmdshell"

So i went to the SQL Server Agent Properties 'Job System' tab and unchecked 'Non-sysadmin job step proxy account' and entered a proxy account.

The proxy account has been setup as a Windows user with local administrator privilages and even a member of the sysadmin server role - just in case.

Now when i log onto the db with my test account - a non-sysadmin - and attempt to run the stored proc to import the data i recieved the message 'EXECUTE permission denied on object 'xp_cmdshell', database 'master', owner 'dbo' '

hmm... so basically i have either misunderstood BoL or there is something not quite right in my setup.

I have search the net for a few days now and yet i can find no solution.

Can anyone help?

SQL 2012 :: What Account To Use For Identity When Creating Credential And To Use As Job Owner

Aug 12, 2014

We are running SQL Server 2012 on Windows 2008 Server. I created a credential with a proxy account. In creating the credential, it asked for an Indentity and Secret. I used my windows login and password. Now, I have tested the credential and proxy account by executing a Job which calls a SSIS Package. What is the 'best practice' to use when creating a credential? Should the credential be created with another windows login, created with the same abilities as my windows login, with a non-expiring password? Should that new windows login be used as the owner of my job with the Agent?

Proxy Account.

May 8, 2007

Hi Experts,

Is it possible to connect to SQL Server just using the SQL server agent's proxy account and access data ( without SQL management studio or SQL / Window authentication ). The proxy account is active only for SSIS package execution subsystem.

Thanks in advance,

Error On SET Proxy Account

Aug 3, 2005

I'm trying to set a proxy account for the SQL agent. The user is Local
administrator on the SQL Server when I try to set the account I get a message back that says
"The system cannot find the path specified."
I get the same error with TSQL too.

EXEC master..xp_sqlagent_proxy_account
'SET', N'MY_DOMAIN', N'Myadm', N'MyPassword'

My system :
Windows Server 2003 SP1
SQL Server 2000 SP4

I am worried it might be interfering with someing.
Any ideas what paths it could be after?

SQL 2012 :: Proxy Account Not Being Used

Jan 14, 2015

I have a frustrating problem where I am using the Ola Hallengren jobs to backup to a network share. (This isn't something specific to his scripts).

For various reasons the SQL Server account can not be granted access to the share so I thought I would use a proxy account which does have access (this has been fully tested). I am using a CmdExec proxy.

The problem comes now that when I run the job it still thinks access is denied when running the xp_create_subdir command.

When I recreated this problem locally on my machine, as soon as I add the SQL Server account access to the share the backups work, so why isn't the job using the proxy account?

Creating A Proxy Account

Oct 30, 2006

I am trying to run SSIS packages under SQL Server Agent 2005 and I keep getting a package failed error in the event viewer.

I've heard that I need to set up a proxy account. I have found the following code and need a little explanation on what all the parts mean since I am very new to this:
Use master
CREATE CREDENTIAL [MyCredential] WITH IDENTITY = 'yourdomainmyWindowAccount', secret = 'WindowLoginPassword'
Use msdb
Sp_add_proxy @proxy_name='MyProxy', @credential_name='MyCredential'
Sp_grant_login_to_proxy @login_name=' devlogin', @proxy_name='MyProxy'
Sp_grant_proxy_to_subsystem @proxy_name='MyProxy', @subsystem_name='SSIS'

Let's say for the sake of argument my domain is called CompanyInc and I log into windows with my name Philip_Jaques and my password is badpassw0rd. Would I modify the above code this way to create my proxy?

Use master
CREATE CREDENTIAL [MyCredential] WITH IDENTITY = 'CompanyIncPhilip_Jaques', secret = 'badpassw0rd'
Use msdb
Sp_add_proxy @proxy_name='MyProxy', @credential_name='MyCredential'
Sp_grant_login_to_proxy @login_name='Philip_Jaques', @proxy_name='MyProxy'
Sp_grant_proxy_to_subsystem @proxy_name='MyProxy', @subsystem_name='SSIS'

Also, when I create this proxy account where in SQL Server 2005 can I go to view it and its properties? And assuming I get the proxy account set up correctly, how do I get my current jobs to start using it so they will successfully run?

Thanks in advance for your help and advice!

Cannot Use Credentials For Proxy Account

Jul 31, 2006

Hi,

because my package does not run with SQL-Server-Agent, but without problems if started by "hand", I created a new credential which contains the information needed for the package. I did this as described on: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190703.aspx .

After that i tried to create an proxy account, but when I chose the created credential, Management Studio says "Der Proxy "[name_of_credential] ist kein gültiger Windows-Benutzer(Microsoft SQL Server, Fehler: 14529)". This means something like: "This Proxy is not a valid windows-user. Error: 14529".

Any hints how to use a credential that is not a windows-user?

Regards,

Jan Wagner

Proxy Account Not Responding

Feb 15, 2006

Hi,

I have an SSISS package running in a job step, the job is owned and has to be run by a non-sysdamin SQL login. I have created a new credential (windows autrhentication, sysadmin priviledges) , mapped it to proxies 'SSISS' and 'Operating systems (CmdExec)' and have assigned the job step to run as that credential. Yet I'm getting the following error message:

Unable to start execution of step 1 (reason: Error authenticating proxy DomainUserName, system error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.). The step failed.

Does anyone know why this is?

Thanks

Execute A Stored Procedure Using A Proxy Account

Sep 18, 2007

Hi all,
I have a problem while i create a proxy account.The situation is like this...There is a user who has an login in to the server.He has a stored procedure which calls some on the SSIS packages and XP_cmdshell...so this stored procedure basically load some data in to the tables .So for the login in order to execute the stored procedure as he is not a Sys admin I have created a proxy account in my account as Iam an SA and then in the proxies and in principals I selected his login name and this way I have created a credential and a proxy account.

Now the problem is if he logins with his id and password and try to execute the stored procedure it gives an error message

Server: Msg 15153, Level 16, State 1, Procedure xp_cmdshell, Line 1
The xp_cmdshell proxy account information cannot be retrieved or is invalid. Verify that the '##xp_cmdshell_proxy_account##' credential exists and contains valid information.

....so this mean the login is not able to see the proxy account.So what I did is I created a job and then in the job owner tab I have selected his login and then created a step with the type operating system (CmdExec) as I need to just execute the stored procedure and used the proxy account that I have created.

so I gave the command -- exec <stored procedure> --.
But this job fails and gives the error message as
[298] SQLServer Error: 536, Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. [SQLSTATE 42000]....

So now ....first My question is am I doing in a right way....if its right then why Iam not able to execute the stored procedure.

If there is any other way through which I can execute the stored procedure using a proxy account for the logins who are not sys admins....please do let me know.....

Thanks

SQL2K CmdExec Proxy Account Setup

Aug 15, 2007

Hi, I have the following setup:

- Win 2K Server, SP4
- SQL Srv 2K, SP4
- A 'DEV' domain, with an 'Administrator' account with all possible rights on the system

I need to configure a CmdExec proxy account in order to allow non-sys-admin users to execute the master.dbo.xp_CmdShell procedure.

When attempting to do this via QA as follows:

EXEC master.dbo.xp_sqlagent_proxy_account N'SET',
N'DEV', -- agent_domain_name
N'Administrator', -- agent_username
N'password' -- agent_password

...I get the following error:

"The system cannot find the path specified."

When attempting to do this via QA as follows (note: only change is adding domain to agent_username arg):

EXEC master.dbo.xp_sqlagent_proxy_account N'SET',
N'DEV', -- agent_domain_name
N'DEVAdministrator', -- agent_username
N'password' -- agent_password

...I get the following error:

"Error executing extended stored procedure: Specified user can not login"

I have tried this through Enterprise Manager and get identical results, of course.

I have also tried all of the following:
- different OS user accounts, including local system accounts with local admin rights;
- assigning the OS account to a SQL login with System Admin role/rights;
- specifically assigning the above SQL login with EXEC rights on the master.dbo.xp_CmdShell procedure;
- verifying local security policy settings, as per the following link: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=283811;
- pulling out my hair and banging my head against the wall.

Can anyone H E L P ? ! ! !

Thanks,

Joe

Does Xp_cmdshell Proxy Account Need Admin-level Permissions?

Oct 4, 2007

Re: SQL Server 2005

Does the xp_cmdshell proxy account need admin-level permissions on the server?

The reason I ask this is because I keep getting "Access is Denied" errors when trying to run this command as a non-admin:

master..xp_cmdshell dtexec 'some package'

The 'some package' has an "execute process task" which calls a batch file on the server.

If the proxy account is NOT a local admin, the "execute process tasks" fails with an "Access is Denied" error.

If the proxy account is a local admin, it executes fine.

We have given "Everyone" FULL CONTROL of all the folders that are affected by the batch file, and it still does not work.

I am out of ideas at this point. It just does not work unless it's an admin.

Are we missing something here?

Proxy Auto-Configuration Url Not Found Error - But Not Using Proxy

May 15, 2007

I have read all the posts regarding this error, but non-solve my problem as I had already addressed them.

I am setting up Merge Replication via the Web and I get this error when i try to sync. Let me give you some background.

I wrote a small windows test app to test merge replication, in which i am using RMO to accomplish the replication. This works. It syncs every time. I then copied the "sync" code from the winform application and created a Windows Service in which i placed "sync" code. The sync code did not change other than adding the additional following four lines:

_mergeAgent.InternetUrl = _internetURL;

_mergeAgent.InternetLogin = _internetLogin;

_mergeAgent.InternetPassword = _internetPassword;

_mergeAgent.InternetTimeout = _internetTimout;

where the internet url is https://ipaddress/virtualdirectory/replisapi.dll

I have been working with this for a while now trying to figure out why this works (on the same machine) in a winforms app but not through the web (via a windows service).

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

Whether To Use Local System Account Or Domain Account For Service Account

I lean toward domain for obvious reaons but would like to know a +/- to each option and why I'd choose one over the other and what consequences or limitations one may encounter if I choose one over the other.

Credential Does Not Take Effect

Mar 13, 2008

I have a sqlserve, which service account is 'local system', running in machine A.

A credential ,which associated a windows user U1 in machine A, mapped to a sqlserver login Login1.

A file named 1.txt that only can be accessed by U1 in machine A.

A CLR procedure P1 that would read the 1.txt file.

I encounter a error when i access the 1.txt file through P1 as Login1:

A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "HelloWorld":

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'E:1.txt' is denied.

System.UnauthorizedAccessException:

at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy)

at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options)

at System.IO.StreamReader..ctor(String path, Encoding encoding, Boolean detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks, Int32 bufferSize)

at System.IO.StreamReader..ctor(String path)

at StoredProcedures.StoredProcedure1(SqlString fileName)

.

I think it need a credential when a sqlserver login access some resource outside the sqlserver, so i add a credential and mapped to the login

any suggestions would be appreciated.
And please correct me if i have any inaccurate concept.

XML Datasource Credential Issue

Feb 6, 2007

I have a report using an XML data source. The data source is calling a web service method which returns the XML file. The security setting is "Use Windows Authentication (Integrated Security)" in the report. The web service and report are both deployed to ServerA.

The web service is pulling data from a file share. Only certain users have access to this share and they are identified in the <authorization> element of the web.config file in the web service.

If I open Internet Explorer on ServerA and go to //localhost/Reports, I can navigate to the report, run the report and everything works fine.

If I open Internet Explorer on ClientZ and go to //ServerA/Reports, I can navigate to the report. However, when I run the report I get a "Failed to execute web request for the specified URL". I do not believe my Windows Credentials are getting passed to ServerA from ClientZ.

Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong in my set-up?

Thanks,

SA Account (DBA System Account) Granting Priveleges But SQL Server 2000 Not Applying Them

Dec 4, 2006

I have been running a script in SQL Server 2000 as sa also as a Active Directory user who has administrator rights (I tested both approaches SQL Server then Windows Authentication) in Query Analyser which grants execute rights to the stored procedures within the database instance and Query Analyser does not give any errors when I run the script. I have made sure that each transaction has a go after it. I then return to Enterprise Manager, check the rights (I apply them to roles so that when we create another SQL Server user we just grant him/her rights to the role) and discover that the role has not been granted the rights. I seems to be occurring only with 2 of the procedures. Is there a known bug that might be causing this?

SQL 2012 :: Mapped Credential Is Not Used In Any Query?

Jul 9, 2014

Due to a previous (mis)configuration, i need to grant readwrite permission on a share from a MSSQL DB User.The SQL user will launch t-sql queries on demand and they cannot be scheduled.

I've created a credential object in SSMS, configured it with the correct AD user and mapped it to the MSSQL DB user.Now, if i execute a simple t-sql backup:

BACKUP DATABASE [DB] TO DISK = N'IP.ADD.RE.SSshareDB.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'DB-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO

I get an access denied error, monitoring the sqlserv.exe process via procmon, i see that the Sql Server process is not impersonating the AD user configured in the credential, it still try to access using the local machine account .

DB2 Credential Storage For DB2 Connection Manager

Oct 9, 2007

Hello,
Our department will create several SSIS packages that will contain connection managers that use the IBM or Microsoft OLE DB provider for DB2. In every case, we will have to use a specific user name and password.

We need one point of reference for the password for the multitude of packages in case the password changes. I'm guessing that we would do this with a single XML package configuration that each of these packages could use. If this is the case, how can it be done securely?

Are there other ideas that I should consider?

Thanks!

Best Way To Confirm Password Change For A Credential?

Jun 8, 2007

Looking for opinions here on what is the best way to programmatically test that a password change to a credential has occurred successfully.

The password change was made using Alter Credential, and I can see in sys.credentials that the credential was updated by the tool that handles these updates. I would just like to be able to confirm that all of the credential updates were successful (in other words, they authenticate correctly) before anything starts to fail.

Assume that the number of SQL Servers is too great to manually check them even if the whole team worked on it together.

Thanks in advance!!
