Occasionally I need to restore a SQL 7 database from Server B onto Server A. Is there a way to backup/script the existing database security information on Server A and then restore the security info after the database restoration?
Thanks,
Rod
I needed to take a backup of a database and use it on another server and followed the steps in the following article to do so:
[URL]
It restored fine on the destination but I still need to use the original and I get the following error from the application when trying to use it:
create a master key in the database or open the master key in the session before performing this operation.
This is after doing the following to try and restore the master key.
USE <database>;
GO
open
master key decryption by password = '<password>'
RESTORE MASTER KEY
FROM FILE =
'C:exportedmasterkey'
DECRYPTION
BY PASSWORD = '<password>'
ENCRYPTION
BY PASSWORD = '<password>';
GO
After doing this I got the message:
The old and new master keys are identical. No data re-encryption is required.
What else do I need to do?
I have a business requirement to build a tabular data model, where I need to mask information of other Agents from a given Agent but I still need to show the overall sales of the given product.
For eg: IF an Agent is in APAC region he should see APAC region sales and also should be able see the sales of the same product in other region without knowing region specific break down.
For Agent "Tom" in APAC region, the numbers will look like this
APAC_Sales = 100,000
Other_Sales = 500,000
And if "John" is in NA region, then the number will look like this for him
NA_Sales = 200,000
Other_Sales = 400,000
I wanted to create "Roles" based on the Region, so all the agents belong to "APAC" region will have same view as Tom and "NA" region agents will have John's view.
I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?
Hello,
I have some troubles with IBM WebSphere Application Server using MS SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver. I always get the error e.g.
java.lang.SecurityException: class "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDatabaseMetaData"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package
I found this Feedback but it seems to be closed.
A temporary solution for me was to delete the meta-inf directory of the JAR-File, but that can't be the solution.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

Hi,
I have posted this issue for a week, haven't got any reply yet, I posted it again and desperately need your help.
The article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365343.aspx says:
Model Item Security can be set for differnt security filters, but when I use SQL Server Management Studio to set Model Item Security, it seems "Permissions" property surpass "Model Item Security" property. -- My report server is using Custom Authentication.
For example, in "Permissions" property of the model, if I checked "Use these roles for each group or user account" without setting any user or group, no matter what users I added to "Model Item Security" with "Secure individual model items independently for this model" checked, NO one user can see the model on report manager and report builder;
in above situation, if I added "user1" and gave role such as "Browser" role to "user1" in "Permissions" property, if I checked "Secure individual model items independently for this model" in "Model Item Security" property, even I did NOT grant "user1" to root model and any entities under the model, the "user1" is able to access the model and all entities in report builder.
My question is on the same report model, how to set "AdminFilter" (empty security filter) for administrator permissions and set "GeneralFilter" (filtered on UserID) for general user based on their UserID?
The article also says:
"Security filters are always applied, even for users who have Content Manager or Administrator permissions to the model. To allow administrators or other users to see all rows of an entity on which row-level security is defined, you can create an empty security filter (which always returns True) and then use the filter to grant those users access to all the rows."
So I defined 2 filters "GeneralFilter" and "AdminFilter" for "Staff" entity for my report model "SSRSModel", I expect after I deployed the report model, the administrator users use report builder to build reports with all rows available, and the non-admin users can only see rows based on their UserID.
I can only get one result at a time but not both:
either the rows are filtered or not filtered at all, no matter how I set the "SecurityFilter" for the entity: I tried setting both "AdminFilter" and "GeneralFilter" for SecurityFilter at the same time, combination of "DefaultSecurityFilter" and "SecurityFilter", or one at a time.
Your help is highly appreciated!

I have Visual Studio 2005 with an application that I'm trying to access it with within a WCF service.
The login ID of the service is added to the database.
The database has remote access turned on.
The ID is granted access to all databases within the server.
The thread is being set with WindowsProvider and the services set their thread to WindowsProvider.
The dataserver is set with using Windows Authentication for security.
When I open my connection to the database, though, it reports the typically useless message that the connection is not allowed and that the server may not allow remote connections.
How to I get past this? I've done everything right.
I want to use an Active Directory security group that is a Distribution List for a new role assignment for an existing report. Can someone tell me if this is possible? I get an error each time I try:

Is there anybody out there with a MS SQL 2K Security Baseline orSecurity Checklist. Where can I get one????Thanks in advanceDavid

Hi;
I am looking for a way to log all security related events for SQL in Windows Security Log. I am trying to use SCOM for monitoring SQL and I am looking at ways to generate alerts in my SCOM Console for specific events in SQL e.g. A table is deleted, user is modified, deleted, etc. Is this possible and if yes how do I achieve the same?
Rgds;
In an environment where there are many initaitors speaking to a central target with frowarders in between, from what i can understand this best policy is to disable encryption on the endpoints, since dialog encryption will be enforced this is all that is really required, is this correct.
If the endpoints used encryption the message would need to be encrypted and decrypted at each forwarder resulting in slower perfromance, where as dialog encryption would only encrypt at the sender and decrypt at the target, so is this the best way to go?
Secondly is it best practice to open a dialog initally and send messages over this dialog for years never ending the conversation? This way the services only have to authenticate eachother once, if there are no reboots etc that is of course.
I would think performance wise sending each message and ending the conversation each time is a much greater overhead ? So would it be best practice to keep dialogs open and keep sending messages ?
Initally when i was learning service broker i thought that one must send a message and end the dialog until the next message, but i think the other way is the best option ?
Is this correct ?
Thanx
Hi
I'm designing a distributed application where I will have SQL Server 2005 distributed databases replicating data to my central hub which is again a SQL Server 2005 database using SQL Service Broker. Data will be sent from the central hub to the distributed sites and vice versa. I need to authenticate the communication and also secure the communication by encrypting the messages. Which security shall I use? Where do I configure the type of security being used? What is the difference between transport security Vs dialogue security - Full security model?
Thanks

I have a report where the information is getting cut off the report.
At the beginning of or at the ending of the page it is dropping the information.
My layout setting are set 8.5in wide by 11in height. .5in for either left or right margin. 1in for top and bottom.
I run the report and I'm missing a record.
I adjust the height to 10in to force diffferent page breaks and it's there.
I have the setting in one of the groups set for a page break at end. If I uncheck that it doesn't help.Still no records.
What is going on?
I'm looking for books or information on command line configuration of settings for things like activating Remote Connections under the Service Area Configuration and setting a port for that connection.
What books would be good to get or where can I download papers on this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi!This is a very simple question and I'm sure you guys will help me a lot.I'm using Visual Basic 2005 for programming. I have one table on my MS SQL 2005 database that has an int column with a counter that needs to be incremented when a user registers.So when reading the value I use a simple SQL query like this:
SELECT counter FROM companies WHERE company=0
then I store the value in a local int variable and then I increment it. Then I update the incremented value.
UPDATE companies ...
I need every single customer to have an individual value. My question is how can I prevent an error, data corruption or whatever if two or more users want to register at the same time? I've been reading about lock update but I'm not sure how to implement it on Visual Basic 2005 and I don't want to store scripts on SQL Server.
I'll appreciate your comments and help on this situation.

Hi,
I administering SQL server and one of or Db (size ~7 Gb) have a table with size 396 MB and 25 indexes created on this one. We working with this DB using Siebel Call center.
I have met a very strange situation: when I tried to get some data (using Siebel) my request take ~5 min. I run Profiler and catched this T-SQL statement which Siebel send to SQL server. After that, I run this T-SQL query using Query Analyser and found that Query Optimiser used wrong index. (clustered index) and try to compare every 470436 rows from the tables.
This is the statement. @P1, @P2, and @P3 just variable which siebel transfer to SQL server.
SELECT ........
FROM
dbo.S_EVT_ACT T1
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.S_CONTACT T2 ON T1.TARGET_PER_ID = T2.ROW_ID
WHERE
((T1.APPT_REPT_FLG != @P1 OR T1.APPT_REPT_FLG IS NULL) AND
(T1.TEMPLATE_FLG != @P2 OR T1.TEMPLATE_FLG IS NULL)) AND
(T1.SRA_DEFECT_ID = @P3)
But I found the very strange situation - when I manualy put the value '1-FRK' instead of @P3 - Query Optimizer used RIGHT index and I had a very good performance.
And addition when I tried to run the first Query on the same table but with the only 1000 rows the Query Optimiser choose right index.
Wat's on, wat happend with My Query Optimizer? Wy his decision so different from time to time?
Thank's a lot for any information about how to make Optimiser obedient.
I need to write an auditing trigger that will capture time of an insert and user that is making the insert. The time part i think i can use getdate(), but how can I find out which user is making the insert? Any help appreciated.
