SQL Authentication Or VS.NET Installation Problems?
Dec 10, 2003
I have a very interesting problem. I am unable to access ANY SQL Server databases from my installation of VS .NET. This happens in the designer (i.e. Configure SqlDataAdapter), in code, and in Server Explorer. In all cases, I get a connection failed message. I am 100% sure that I am using a valid username/password, and I am attempting to connect using SQL Server Authentication. All the SQL Client tools connect 100% of the time to my local and remote databases.
I have verified that I can access these databases correctly from another machine where VS .NET is installed.
At this point, I am at a loss for how to proceed. I suspect that there is a problem with my MDAC components, but I cannot figure out how to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all!
My name is Ivan and I am from Serbia.
I'm sort of newbie in sql server, so don't mind for confusion.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Express edition with Advanced Services. During Setup I have choosen to use Windows authentication for connecting to my server, cause I read it can be removed in SQL Server Management Studio (right-click on server, Properties, Security, SQL Authentication).
Few days ago I got some mdf database to attach to my server, but in readme file in the same folder, there was a message to create new user called 'Bob' (password 'msdn') with dbo permission to that database (with SQL Authentication mode access to server). I did so, created user, went to Server Properties, changed mode for Authentication), disconnect from server, and closed Management Studio. When I opened it again I clicked on SQL Authentication to connect, typed Bob as user name, msdn as password, and I got a message which was something about that it is not possible to connect with SQL Server Authentication mode, although I made a difference in Properties.
Should I install SQL Server with the new instance and with SQL Authentication mode?
Please help me out.

The setup athenticates the Database Services and the Reporting Services.
Database Services login is successful, but the setup raises an error on the authentication of the reporting Services.
How can I fix this?

Is it possible to change authentication mode after sql express has allready been installed?
I have admin rights on the computer and i want to change authentication mode to "sql server and windowns authentications mode".
Is this possible somehow?
Maybe by logging in with a trusted conncection?
I need to do it unattended on several computers after they have been installed.

After the installer has asked for authentication mode and has started verifying the authentication it simply hangs. I've let it sit there for an hour before taking the installer forcibly down but nothing seems to be happening except for two osql.exe processes showing up in the task manager.
I've tried both windows authentication and SQL server authentication but the outcome is always the same. At the same time I'm, however, able to login to the database engine and all services with management studio using both authentication modes.
The last few lines in HotFix.log are as follows:
05/09/2006 09:49:09.999 Authenticating user using Windows Authentication
05/09/2006 09:49:10.015 SQL Service MSSQLServer was previously running, ready for authentication
05/09/2006 09:49:10.218 SQL Agent Service SQLSERVERAGENT was previously running
05/09/2006 09:49:12.093 User authentication was successful
This would indicate that there's nothing wrong with the authentication but with whatever is supposed to take place after that.
There are quite a few lines in the log similar to the one below:
05/09/2006 09:47:08.438 Failed to read associated hotfix build information for the following file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLBinnSQLServr.exe
Redist9_Hotfix_KB913090.log seems to be the only individual log file that ends with line saying "Hotfix package launched" whereas all other logs have several lines of checks being completed successfully.
Any ideas what might be causing the installer to hang and how to fix it?

Hello,
(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??

Hi 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.

Hi 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!

Hi,I'm using SQL Server 2005. My Connection String looks like that at the moment: <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=xx;Initial Catalog=xx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xx;Password=xx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> Now I'd like to change this kind of authentication to Integrated Windows AuthenticationI added the WorkerProcess IIS_WPG to the permitted Users but it didn't help.Changed the Connection String to this:connectionString="Server=xx;Database=xx;Trusted_Connection=True;"All I'm getting is that my NetworkService is not permitted to access DB when I try to connect to the DB in ASP.NET.How can I properly configure that? Thanks!

Hi,
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

Hi.
I wonder if it is possible to set forms authentication for report manager but leave report server "as it is". I need to authenticate users from external LDAP and can't use windows authentication for report manager, but I would also like to leave report server open for anonymous users. In that way authenticated administrators could create reports which anonymous users could read.
I tested the Security Extension Sample and got it working when I rewrote the authentication part with my own LDAP authentication.
If I have understood correctly, the report manager is just application inside report server so is it possible to use forms authentication with one application but still leave the report server with Windows authentication?

I get an error when trying to install the SQL Native Client. It
says it cannot find the installation package and to use a valid copy of
'sqlncli.msi'. I've downloaded the Express setup twice and get
the same error from both of them.
I'm attempting this in a VMWare session setup for Windows 2K, Advanced

Hi,
I need to figure out what kind of Authentication , I need to use for following applicaiton
Product : -
1 ) It resides on a its Domain and has access to Database on that Domain.
2 ) We have a application level login , n based on application login id
display specific pages.
The question that bother me is this
Q ) If i use NT authentication , then a user will be required to
a ) Login to domain (with userid and password) first and then
b ) Then i would require to again login to applicaiton with application
level login and password.(different levels of login as there)
Based on the application level login i will display only specific
asp pages. They have different access rights..and roles.
Requirment is to login only once..and it should authenticate to application display specific pages and authenticate to SQl server database also..
Is there any way thru which i can map my application level login to SQl server.. and what authentication should i use..
Thanks,
Teny

I am in the process of rolling out a sql server 2005 enterprise install and had a question regarding authentication. We will be providing sql hosting for a number of groups on our campus, many who are not using our campus-wide active directory, though they all have an AD account.
Windows authentication via the management studio appears to use your AD authentication tokens and will not allow them to enter a username/password combo. Is there any way to configure this?
I would like to use our campus AD for obvious reasons but if there is a requirement for passing tokens this isn't going to work right? It's also going to make database mirroring more of a challenge.
Thanks

Hi all,
My SQL Server 7.0 is now running in a mixed mode authentication. I understand
that this method of authentication is not safe. So, Ive planned to change my
server's method of authentication from mixed to NT-only mode.
Kindly tell me what are the points I should consider for doing this, so that,
the existing data and the users are not affected.
Cheers and thanx in advance

We recently moved our SQL Server services to a dedicated machine, and things have gone relatively smoothly.
My boss's major concern is that now when he runs some scripts in another application that updates sales data with the newest info from the database, it pops up a login box with the correct information in it already, but they have to hit OK to finish running the script. This was not happening on the old server. I've double-checked the ODBC data sources are correct, and have compared the security for the 2 servers and they appear to be identical still. Has anyone seen this before or knows what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Hello !
I am having a problem with NT trusted connections. I am running a front-end from Access 97 with linked tables to an SQL Server. Whenever I open a form, I will be prompted for login. Since I am already on an NT domain, I make use of 'trusted connection'. However, whenever the form is refreshed or a requery is sent, I am always prompted for login again. Using an SQL user login does not give me the problem and it's a one time login.
Q : How do I configure SQL such that it doesn't prompt me for login everytime whenever I choose 'trusted connection' ?
Thanks.

I am reviewing the requirements for NT Authentication for SQL Server 7.0. I want to take advantage of window NT user security. I also want just a single security point.
My question is that I can make several NT groups for various users (DBA, development, accounting, finance, sales, etc.) but how are SQL Server roles, permissions, and passwords applied to these NT groups? There are no groups in 7.0, right?

We're having a small problem with our Authentication on SQL. We set SQL up to use NT Authentication only. We then created a group on the NT Server and gave it the necessary permissions to make changes to the MSSQL7DATA directory on the SQL Server. Next we created the NT Logins on SQL. We're using Access 97 & ODBC to connect to SQL. Problem is that the first time the users open an Access 97 table, they get a prompt asking for an SQL Username/Password, or a checkbox option to use NT Authentication. I've just been having them click the "Use Trusted Connection." Is there a way to force NT Authentication and avoid having that popup box show each time Access is opened? I'd like it so that the user does not see any boxes when they open the table. I have a feeling we've left something out on the SQL side. Thanks for any help you can provide.
