Remote Database Connection Through Firewall

Jan 29, 2001

I'm trying to adminster a remote MS SQL server from inside my company's firewall. I have the correct permissions to pass traffic through the firewall, but I need to authenticate to it first. When I try to register this remote SQL server through Enterpise Manager, it of course does not let me because of the firewall. Is there any way I can pass the firewall ID and password during the server registration process, and then pass the SQL server ID and password? I'm no SQL server expert by any means, but it doesn't look like it's possible. Are there any third party utilities that may accomplish this?

Thanks for the help!

Remote SqlExpress Connection And Firewall

Apr 12, 2008

I am running SqlExpress on a Vista machine as a server and accessing it from machines running XP. I could not connect with the Vista server until I turned off the firewall, despite creating exceptions for both the sqlexpress and sqlbrowser services in the firewall setup. Obviously, I don't want to run on a wireless network without a firewall for any length of time. What else to I need to enable in order to run with my firewall up? In SMSS, I could 'see' the Vista server on the network with the firewall up, but I could not 'see' the SERVERSQLEXPRESS service or connect to it .

thanks,

Steve

Remote Access And Windows Firewall

Sep 20, 2006

Hi all,

I have a Windows Server 2003 with SQL Server 2005.
I´ve configured the following itens to allow remote connecitions:

[code]
WORKAROUND
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause
serious problems that may require
you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using
Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk.To work around this problem, follow these steps on the
computer that Windows XP SP2 is installed on:

1. Make sure that the Log On As account for the MSDTC service
is the Network Service account. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, and then click Run.
b. In the Run dialog box, type Services.msc, and then click OK.
c. In the Services window, locate the Distributed Transaction
Coordinator service under Name in the right pane.
d. Under the Log On As column, see whether the Log On As
account is Network Service or Local System.

If the Log On As account is Network Service, go to step 2.
If the Log On As account is Local System, continue with these steps.
e. Click Start, and then click Run.
f. In the Run dialog box, type cmd, and then click OK.
g. At the command prompt, type Net stop msdtc to stop the MSDTC service.
h. At the command prompt, type Msdtc €“uninstall to remove MSDTC.
i. At the command prompt, type regedit to open Registry Editor.
j. In Registry Editor, locate, and then delete the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSDTC
k. Close Registry Editor.
l. At the command prompt, type Msdtc €“install to install MSDTC.
m. At the command prompt, type Net start msdtc to start
the MSDTC service.

Note The Log On As account for the MSDTC service is set
to the Network Service account.

2. To allow the network transaction, you must enable
MSDTC. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, and then click Run.
b. In the Run dialog box, type dcomcnfg.exe, and then click OK.
c. In the Component Services window, expand Component
Services, expand Computers, and then expand My Computer.
d. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
e. In the My Computer Properties dialog box, click
Security Configuration on the MSDTC tab.
f. In the Security Configuration dialog box, click to
select the Network DTC Access check box.
g. To allow the distributed transaction to run on this
computer from a remote computer, click to select the Allow Inbound check box.
h. To allow the distributed transaction to run on a
remote computer from this computer, click to select the Allow
Outbound check box.
i. Under the Transaction Manager Communication
group, click to select the No Authentication Required option.
j. In the Security Configuration dialog box, click OK.
k. In the My Computer Properties dialog box, click OK.


3. Configure Windows Firewall to include the MSDTC
program and to include port 135 as an exception. To do this,
follow these steps:

a. Click Start, and then click Run.
b. In the Run dialog box, type Firewall.cpl, and then click OK.
c. In Control Panel, double-click Windows Firewall.
d. In the Windows Firewall dialog box, click Add
Program on the Exceptions tab.
e. In the Add a Program dialog box, click Browse,
and then locate the Msdtc.exe file. By default, the
file is stored in the Installation drive:WindowsSystem32 folder.
f. In the Add a Program dialog box, click OK.
g. In the Windows Firewall dialog box, click to select
the msdtc option in the Programs and Services list.
h. Click Add Port on the Exceptions tab.
i. In the Add a Port dialog box, type 135 in the Port
number text box, and then click to select the TCP option.
j. In the Add a Port dialog box, type a name for the
exception in the Name text box, and then click OK.
k. In the Windows Firewall dialog box, select the name
that you used for the exception in step j in the
Programs and Services list, and then click OK.
[/code]

But, when the Windows firewal on the server is "On", remote connections
are not allowed, despite I´ve configured the Exceptions on the firewall.

Is there another task to solve this problem?

thanx!!!!

SQL Server 2005 Express Remote Admin Firewall Issues

Mar 6, 2006

Hi,

I'm experiencing problems connecting remotely (through the Management Studio) to a named instance of SQL Server Express 2005.

After investigation I determined it was a firewall issue - turn off windows firewall and I can connect fine. I initially added ports 1433 and 1434 to windows firewall - still no joy. Then I added the binaries explicitly (sqlservr.exe and sqlbrowsr.exe - or whatever they are) - still no joy. So, I looked into the firewall log to see what was being dropped. I found that my IP was trying to connect via port 1047 (TCP)... I've searched for anything about this on google and cannot find any indication that the management studio should be using this port to connect.

If I add this port, the connection works fine. Has anyone else experienced this ? As there seems to be no way of modifying the management studio to connect via a specific port, I'm a bit concerned that something is just not right.

I would appreciate any advice you can give.

Thanks.

Data Connection Behind Firewall

Apr 17, 2007

Hello,
I am trying to connect a web app to a SQL 2005 that is behind a firewall.
The challenge is this, the SQL is behind a firewall and the webserver is at a different location.  From my desktop development environment, I connect through a VPN first and then can point to the internal IP of the DB server.  This works fine as long as the VPN is connected.
But how do I do this from a hosted web application that is not on my local machine or using my VPN?
Is there some sort of tunneling Connection that I can use within code?
thanks

Remote Connection To Database On Same PC?

Dec 29, 2006

I am running the SQL express advanced on the same PC that also hosts my Visual Basic Express application. I have user instances turned off and full-text enabled and working from within a SQL query window. However, I can not create a working connection to the database using the data source wizard from the server explorer within VB.NET. Since this is on the same PC, do I need to enable anything other than shared memory? I get the error: Provider SQL Network Interfaces, error 26 Error locating server/instance.

Connection To Database On A Remote Server

Nov 29, 2007

Here is my environment and problem:
 I have VWD 2005 and SSE 2005 installed on my local machine. I also have these installed on my Windows 2003 Server. I developed my database using SSE on my local machine but pointing to directory on my server. I have been developing the web app using VWD on my server. I now want to use VWD on my local machine and point to the project on my server. I am able to open the project. In order to access the database in the "Database Explorer" I use as my "Data Source", "MS SQL Server (SQL Client) and it attaches fine and I can see my tables and data.
 Now for my problem:
When I try to run the application "VIew in Browser", which login.aspx page is my first page, I get the page, but it doesn't inherit my master page which has the basic navigation and layout. Then after I try to login I get this message.
The file "W:BBAppApp_DataTimeTracker.mdf" is on a network path that is not supported for database files.An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file W:BBAppApp_DataTimeTracker.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
Here is a portion of my web.config file for the connection string.<connectionStrings>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=true;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|TimeTracker.mdf;User Instance=true" />
My website I started with the source code for the TimeTracker start kit and have added more pages and changed the sitemap.
In general I guess I need to know how to handle using VWD on my local machine, but accessing the project on the server. The reason I'm doing this is because my colleague needs to be able to access the web app too to add pages to the site.
 Thank you for any help.

Database Connection SQL Express 2005 Remote

Jan 2, 2008

Good day.

I am trying to look at a friends database that they have developed. Not having used SQL Server Express before I am experiencing problems trying to remotely connect to their database.

He connects locally just fine of course.

I get the error message about remote connectionsand the default settings so I have enabled TCP/IP and Named Pipes as well as cleared SQLSERVER Express in my firewall settings. I also stopped and restarted the service, but still get the same error message.

My connection parameters are like:

Server type: Database Engine
Server name: http://sql.exampledatabase.net (should http be here? have tried with and without same error)
Authentication: SQL Server Authentication (windows authentication? If so, how do I change to such?)
Login: http://username (should http be here? have tried with and without same error)
Password: password

TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
Cannot connect to http://sql.exampledatabase.net

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Jun 12, 2007

hai,
I am working on ASP.NET 2003 with SQLServer2000. My application requires to be connected to the Database which is there in my Headoffice.
My SQLServerName is "MyDBServerTestDB"
Database Name is "WebTO", UserID="******" and Password="******"
My Remote Server IP Address is "192.168.1.2" and its Static IP is "58.93.61.235"
I have specified the Connection string for my Remote Server as
"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Server=58.93.61.235TestDB;UID=******;PWD=******;Database=WebTO"
                               (or)
"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Server=58.93.61.235TestDB,1433;UID=******;PWD=******;Database=WebTO"           (1433 is the Port number of the Remote SQLServer)
but it is giving the error " SQL Server does not exist or access denied".
if i execute the same application at my Headoffice (Remote Server) by changing the Connection string as
"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Server=192.168.1.2TestDB;UID=******;PWD=******;Database=WebTO"
then, it is working fine.
Can anyone tell me where i went wrong or what i have to specify in my Connection string so that i can access my Remote Database Server.
Thanks in Advance,

Need To Establish A Remote Connection To An Sql Database On A Local Server (same Domain)

Feb 16, 2007

Hi, I have been creating a web store, which we will be hosting on our Windows Server 2003 system.  I am also writing a windows application that will be running on our client systems on the same network/domain.  I have no need to allow internet access to the database, just within our domain.  Pretty much the windows application will be running and whenever a customer places an order, the program will automatically pop-up the needed information for our credit card processing, and shipping department.  So far I have been able to establish a connection to our server by creating a data connection under the server explorer.  However, it does not list any databases whatsoever, the web site has been published using Visual Studio 2005 Professional on the server, and is in 100% working order.  I have searched and haven't found anything concrete on this, i'm sure its just something simple that im missing.  It appears that the server is definetely connected to the database (since the website is fully functional), but it is not listing the information for other systems to access it.  If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.  Thank you

A Couple Of Questions On Remote Connection To SQL Server 2005 Database

Nov 23, 2006

I have a SQL Server 2005 database (called BDHSE) in a PC which i call PC1. I have a second PC (PC2) and both are within a network (a WLAN).

What i want is to have access to BDHSE from an application in VB6 (APP1) running in PC2. All the INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE records process is done through APP1.

APP1 ia currently running in PC1 and is to be installed on PC2.

I have these questions:

1. What do i need to install in PC2 since all the INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE is done using APP1? I guess i only have to install the Microsoft SQL Native Client (with all the prerequisites of course) but i am not sure.

2. In the APP1 made in VB6, do i have to change the connectionstring since i am accesing the database which physically is at PC1 and the APP1 will be used in PC2?

3. Any advice you can give me on doing this will be well received.

Thanks in advance,

BSc Fernando Martinez

Design Help – Access SQL Database Behind A Firewall From ASP .NET Pages.

Feb 26, 2004

Hi,

I am new to internet development and would like some advice on the technology used to access a SQL database that sits on a network behind a firewall.

** ASP .NET Page ** -> ** Web Server ** -> ** FIREWALL ** -> ** SQL **

So to give an example; from an ASP .NET page on the internet, I would like to populate a DataGrid with the contents of a single table from a SQL database. The SQL database is sitting on our company network behind a firewall.

Could someone please explain / point me in the right direction in how the ASP .NET page / Web Server can securely access the SQL database.

Thanking you in advance

Database Access Across Servers Or Firewall Issue

Jul 9, 2007

Hi All,



I am facing a strange issue with accessing data from SQL server 2000. We are using SQL Server authentication for connecting to SQL Server 2000 and ADO .Net SQL client in the application. The problem here is, we have databases installed in one of the servers in some other office location that is in different state but on same domain. We do development from two locations that is one from Virtual Machines hosted on servers where Database Servers are located and on our local desktops in India.



Now when I developed a test client in Virtual Machines which will call a web service to get datasetof some data and show them in DataGrid. When I run the test client in debug mode from Visual Studio 2003, then I am getting data in the DataGrid. Even when I just run the exe from Virtual Machine still I am getting data.



But when I copy debug folder of the test client to the local desktop in India and when I run the Test client I am not getting any data loaded on to the DataGrid. I am getting an empty dataset when I am running from the local desktop.



Also I have converted the VS2003 project to VS2005 and when I run the application from Local Desktop then I am getting the data loaded fine. I could not understand what is the problem, what is the difference between accessing data from VS2003 and VS2005 using webservice.



Is this a firewall issue or I am missing any thing here. The webservice method I am calling to get data is actually returning dataset when I am calling this method directly from the browser also and even through application in virtual machine.



I am still not able to come to terms with this problem. This is severely affecting our deployment. Please help us resolve this problem. Please let me know if you need more information.



Thanks,

Venkatesh

SSIS Remote Connection Failing ... Local Connection OK

Mar 1, 2006

I'm getting "Access denied" error when I try to connect to SSIS from my desktop (Database Engine is fine). I'm a member of sysadmin within SQL, as well as an administrator on the server. I don't have any problem when I log on to the server directly via Remote Desktop and open SSIS.

I went into the surface area config tool, and I see that Database Engine and Analysis Services both expand and have a sub tabs to enable Services and Remote Connections, but Integration Services does not expand to a Remote Connections option, just Services. We're running MSDN Enterprise edition.

Does it matter if all the SQL services are using "Local System" for the logon ? I use an administrative logon on my SQL2000 boxes, and was fiddling with them on the 2005 box yesterday, but it seemed to cause more problems, so they are all Local System for now.

Am I missing something obvious ?

Bcp Cannot Connect Via Local Connection, But Can Using Remote Connection?

May 19, 2008

Hi. I'm (very) new to SQL Server. I have run into what seems to be a very common problem, judging by the number of Google hits, but it's not actually in the FAQs here, as far as I can see.

Situation
I installed SQL Server Express with Advanced Services 2005 on my Windows XP Pro laptop, using (with one exception) the default install. The exception was to put the data files on a separate partition (D: ) where I have more free space.

SQL Server Management Studio Express connects happily, and I set up a single data import table.

Issue: bcp Fails to connect to default local instance
I initially tried bcp in output mode, prior to working in earnest on importing my data. However the command line-


bcp MyDatabaseName.dbo.UserProfile out UserProfile.txt -T -c

Fails with the error-


Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].

As I understand it, the local instance of SSE is the default, and should use a local (shared memory?) connection. This seems to work for Management Studion Express, but not bcp.


While investigating this problem, I tried enabling remote connections (all types) through the Surface Area Configuration wizard, and found that remote connections using either of:


bcp eSpacePh1.dbo.UserProfile out UserProfile.txt -T -c -S localhostsqlexpress
bcp eSpacePh1.dbo.UserProfile out UserProfile.txt -T -c -S mycomputernamesqlexpress

both work ok.

Extra Info
When starting Management Studio Express, it says something like "Configuring environment for the first time". However it says this every time it is started, not just the first run after installation, does this indicate some configuration data is not being successfully stored?

I have found threads that look similar to my issue-


http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=836670&SiteID=1
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3351349&SiteID=1

However these do not relate directly to bcp, and to be honest my knowledge of SSE is slender enough at this stage that i'm unsure if there are really relevant.

Any hints on how to proceed much appreciated.

Regards: Colin E.

Visual Studio 2005 The Remote Connection To The Device Has Been Lost. Please Verify The Device Connection And Restart Debugging.

Jun 19, 2006

Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get

The remote connection to the device has been lost.

Please verify the device conection and restart debugging.

I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back!

My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port. I've rebooted my PC and done a soft reset on the PDA but it didn't help. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

Cannot Set Connection Property Of Backup Database Task If Connection String Is Customized In Connection Object

Aug 23, 2006

I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.

Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.

Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.

Is this an intrinsic issue?

Help With Remote Connection

Apr 23, 2006

I am attempting to connect to SQL 2005 server.  The server and the VS 2005 are on the same computer.  I have configured the db so it uses the security for asp.  The log in section connects fine and checks for the user. I have combined the old db with the new ASP security. If the user is not found then I open a connection  using the open command and check for the user in the old part of the db.  The is where I have trouble.  I get the message below that the server connect but then won't allow remote connections.  I have check the setting and the allow remote connections is checked.  Thank in advance if anyone can help.
 
Endeavor
 
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake.  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: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)

I know the IP of the machine and the internal ID for the MS SQL Server.

Remote Connection

May 8, 2006

How would I connect to remote SQL 2005 database using Management Studio?
The only difference from local DB is that I type IP address instead of server name, right?

I'm getting error:
Testing the registered server failed. Verify the server name, login cridentials, and then click Test again.
Additional information:
An error has occured 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)(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)

I did everything from article "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connections"(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=914277&SD=tech). SQL Browser enabled. Both TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled. Exceptions in firewall for sqlsrvr.exe and sqlbrowser.exe added.
Did not help.

What else could I check?

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: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233).

Any help is appreciated.

"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.
