SQL Exception: Login Failed For SQLServername/username
Jan 19, 2007
Hello Everyone, I developed an application using c# that accesses MS SQL server 2000 for records. It works perfectly well on my development machine. However, when I tested it on another machine, I get the Error "Login Failed for SQLServername/username".
When I started developing this app, I got this same error on my development machine and I solved the problem by making the 'aspnet' account an administrator in control panel - user accounts in Windows XP. This however doesn't work on the other machines i've tested on, and i get this same error.
Hi all, Iam getting this error System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database "XYZ" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'xyz-abcASPNET'. when trying to open the page.... http://localhost:1807/projectname/WebFormName.aspx as http://localhost/projectname/WebFormName.aspx Couldnt figure out the solution.Please help Soujanya
I am writing an application that will access my SQL 2005 server that is located on another machine. I have the server set up to receive mixed mode logins, but I am still getting this error message. I have TCP/Ip connections active as well as Named pipes. I am can't think of anythign else that will cause this issue. I was able to use it before, but I had to move my server to another machine because I had issues with the previous machine. Can anyone help?
Source = "server=" + wrkServer + "; user=master60pr; password=password ;database=" + wrkDatabase; this is the line of code I am using to access the database from the C# program
This is the error I get below. What did I do wrong?

I have lots of problems with the connection. I've connected many dropdownlists to the database and i didn't have problems at all. I also try an example of an ASP.NET book: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString= "<%$ ConnectionStrings:CIPPEC%>" InsertCommand= "INSERT INTO [member] ([first_name], [last_name], [malefemale], [yearborn]) VALUES (@first_name, @last_name, @malefemale, @yearborn)"> <InsertParameters> <asp:FormParameter Name="first_name" Type="String" FormField="FirstTextBox" /> <asp:FormParameter Name="last_name" Type="String" FormField="LastTextbox"/> <asp:FormParameter Name="malefemale" Type="Int32" FormField="MFRadioButton" /> <asp:FormParameter Name="yearborn" Type="Int32" FormField="YearDropDown" /> </InsertParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource> And it worked well. But when i try to connect my page with: Dim connect As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection( _ "Server=glgrand-arSQLEXPRESS;UID="WindowsStartupUser";password="WindowsStartupPass"; database=CIPPEC") connect.Open() Dim cmd As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand( _ "INSERT PRUEBA (PersonaJuridica, NombreRazonSocial, Nombre, Segundo_nombre, Apellido) " & _ "VALUES (txtPerJur, txtRazSoc, txtName, txtSecondName, txtApellido)", _ connect) cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() connect.Close() The error message says: Login failed for user 'username'. I tried lots of things but it didn't work: In SQL Configuration Manager: Client Protocols: TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled. In SQL 2005 Services: Server Properties: Built-in Account: Local System SQL Server Surface Area Configuration: Remote connections: Using both TCP/IP and Name Pipes connection is selected. In SQL Management Studio i created a new login glgrand-ar/UserStartupName , with sysadmin server role and user mapping my CIPPEC database. I don't know what else i could try, i tried it at home and at work and i couldn't connect to my database and make an INSERT. It stops at Connect.Open() with the error that i wrote in this subject message. It's evident that i'm doing something wrong (because i'm new): Could you please help me with a solution and explain me what are the data that i have to put on the Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection ?? I'm using the Windows authentication: i'm putting my username and password and it doesn't worked. Thank you!!
To any helpful person thats out there: Answering this question would bring alot of joy to me right now.
Here it is. I get this Server Error, everytime I try to run (debug) my web project in VS.Net 2003:
SQL Exception: Login failed for user 'ALECOMPUTERASPNET'.
The problem is, is that as far as I can tell 'ALECOMPUTERASPNET' has permitted access to the database. In Enterprise Mgr, under Users, ALECOMPUTERASPNET is visible and is 'permitted'.
I have a machine with Windows XP Pro w/SP 2, IIS, SQL Server Express and Visual Studio 2005 installed. When I attempt to open a database from an ASPX page, I'm getting an exception with the message:
"Cannot open database "Tasks" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'MYDEVASPNET'."
I've searched the web and found a number of pages that talk about the "Login failed for MACHINEASPNET" issue, but I didn't find any with a solution.
For your information (in case it makes any difference), the computer is connected to a domain. And the authentication methods for the virtual directory (in IIS) is configured for "Anonymous access" and "Integrated Windows authentication."
Does anyone know how to configure SQL Server Express (or is it IIS?) so the web page can access the database?
We have setup a SCOM 2007 Server and in this we have SQL 2005 SP2, We are using two accounts one for OPRATIONAL DATABASE and another one for REPORTING DATABASE after this setup everything was working fine but suddenly my SDK account which is for REPROTING DATABASE was locked by entering wrong password and afterwards I unlocked the password but SINCE this i'm not able to connect to my REPORTING DATABASE and i'm getting following ERROR:- Login Failed for user 'username'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
Taken following action to rectify this problem: 1) Resetting the SDK password with the same password. 2) Restarted all the SQL and SCOM services. 3) Restarted the Server as well. 4) Converted from WINDOWS AUTHENTICATION mode to MIXED mode.
But the problem is still persisting, Please help ASAP.
While making a connection to a SQL server Enterprise Database using ASP.Net(C#), during execution of .aspx file i got the following error :-
Kindly help me if anybody knows the solution .
Thanks in advance

hi, so i have a new box and I'm trying to get my websites and SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition working on it, but the pages give me the following error when I try to load them: "Cannot Open Database "XXXX" requested by login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'xxx'" Everything seems exactly the same settings and user-wise from my old box to my new one, but nevertheless everything I've tried gives me the same error. I've tried creating new users in SQL Server and giving them appropriate permissions to my database. I've even tried just using the built in 'sa' account. Nothing seems to change the error, except when I give it the incorrect password then it just says 'login failed' This leads me to believe that i'm successfully logging into the SQL Server, but it doesn't want to give me access to the database I'm requesting access too. But "apparently" the account i'm using should have access to the database. If nothing else the 'sa' account should, but that didn't work either. I'm stumped. Any ideas?
We have a SQL 2000 Active/Passive cluster running on Windows 2000. On one node, everything logs in fine (second node is powered off). I can use local authentication fine in OSQL (-E) and even see my connection in SQLEM current activity as [DomainUser] for the NT account which I am logged in as. Then I bring the second node online and initiate a failover. SQL Server starts but Cluster Admin cannot connect and starts throwing this Anonymous Logon error. I open a command prompt and try the same OSQL (-E) local login and sure enough it is also giving the Anonymous Logon connection user. I do not understand why the failover to a second node is causing the Trusted Connection Local authentication to switch to Anonymous instead of the [DomainUser] which I am using. Any help is appreciated. John.

Been looking through the forums for a solution to this problem.I already tried granting access through statements such as:exec sp_grantloginaccess N1'machineNameASPNET'But they don't seem to work.. i vaguely remember seeing somewhere a DOS command line statement that grants access to the ASPNET_WP and that fixed my problem before on another computer.. but this is a new computer and i forgot to write down the command.Can anyone help explain and propose a solution to my problem. Many thanxs.
I am using the MSDE to connect to my ASP.NET application. I get this error after clicking the login button of my login page. Anyone know why this would happen?
Thanks for any help,

Hey Microsoft: this affects development that will eventually sell a lot of seats on SharePoint Server 2007. If you guys and gals can't straighten out this mess, you can't expect custom solutions with custom web parts. So pay attention for your own good. Yes, SPS 2007 is what this is all about. I've created simpe web parts and deployed them, same VS 2005, but I need local development and debugging for more complex stuff. I'm really disappointed that you have no solution for this problem.
I've seen other posts on this, but the result seems to be the same: if you fix it, it's by accident, not by design.
1. I created a blank ASP.NET web site
2. I added a web part manager
3. I added a web part zone
I get the error described above. I have no idea why SQL Server settings are so screwed up.
I've tried all the stuff in the other posts - security settings, command line installation, etc. None of those worked.
The default template(s) don't copy anything into App_Data, nor create an empty folder. I don't know why that is. I have other web sites working just fine, but they use remote SQL databases, or local ones I created, and didn't need profile management (no forms authentication, no web parts, no web zones).
I've also started out with a local database, using SQL Authentication, later moving it to a remote server, and never had any problems. The SQL Server developer edition and Express seem to work just fine. I can also debug stored procs when the .mdf is in App_Data. So the problem isn't one of connectivity.
What would cause the default screw-up? This would seem to point from all directions to a problem with Visual Studio (2005)? The installation is defalt - perhaps some extras included (copy local), but nothing unusual. AJAX for ASP.net is installed, but not used in the above "default web site" trial. Likewise Syncfusion's tools, which work fine on other developer workstations at this same location, all of which are from the same image (purchased at the same time & imaged). That web parts work on other boxes, running all the same management tools (anti-virus, remote sys admin/sms etc.) makes none of those suspect.
I think Microsoft needs to have a clean problem solution and publish it. SP1 certainly doesn't fix it. What's worse is the stupid, lame error message. "I can't open the default database". Well, what did you try? What do you think the default is? What settings are you using? Why is there no debugging information other than the usual worthless trace information showing it's all deep within the ProviderBase and SqlClient namespace code? How is that supposed to be helpful?
If anyone has anything solid, not guesses, I'd like to know.
The title says it all. Given that I have created a login for a domain group, and a database user for that login. What I want to do is retrieving the domain username for the active user. USER_NAME retrieves the database username, suser_name returns (of course) NULL as this is not a sql user.
The goal is to use domain group logins, while still allowing for logging what user performed which action.
i'm using the Enterpirse library logger to write logs into a database. When choosing connection string i choose the database i want in the "connection properties" dialog box and push 'Test connection' button. everything goes well.
then i open the SQL Server Management studio express and connect to the databse to check some things, from that point on , when i push the 'Test Connection' button in the Enterprise library i get the error:
"cannot open user default database. Login failed. login failed for user My'server/MyuserName'"
even when i close the sql server manager , it is still stuck - the connection test doesn't work anymore.... it only work when i restart the computer.
I currently have a login page in asp.net 2.0 linked to a SQL 2005 database table that holds the usernames and passwords. At present, I am on an "honor system" where I do have access to the passwords of the other users but would like to change it so that I cannot know what the users' passwords are. Thank goodness that there is no personal information within the pages and the logins were created to keep a log of who logs in and what not. However, I would like to soon hold more personlized information, hence the need to encrypt each user's password even from myself. I have read up on Symmetric Encryption for SQL 2005 but I would like to know if there is anything else available, any good proven methods that someone else has already tried. Also, while testing out Symmetric Encryption, I noticed that I have to supply the encryption password for the decryption. However, if I know what the password for the encryption/decription is, does it not defeat the purpose of having the encryption at all, in terms of the "Admin" having access to sensitive information? Just curious if I understood the concept correctly or not. Thanks in advance to all.
hi i have created a username and a password in sqlserver 2000 from logins in Enterprise manager and i permit him to the database i need to connect to .. and i check all server roles for that user and i make sqlserver authentication for him with a password and then i goto the udl file to connect to that database using that user it fails !! and says
"login failed for that user 'myusername' reason not associated with a trusted sqlserver connection"
while i use NT integrated security it works well so how can i connect to sqlserver using a username and a password
I Guys I am trying to create an application that writes data to a SQL database (studio express). The application works fine but as soon as I open the table with the SQL server management studio express the application does not work any more displaying the following message:

I have a script component. What it does, it queries the a table using a connectionstring assigned to it in the Connection Managers Editor (which is an ado.net adapter). this works fine when i'm using a windows login in the ado.net connection manager. But when i changed my connection to use SQL server login, I encounter this error:

All the logins with sysadmin role are locked out in one of the SQL server. Also in that instance Logon trigger is implemented which allows only certain users with Windows Authentication to logon.
This server is converted into single user mode by using command prompt.

"Cannot open database "aspnetdb" requested by the login. The login failed."
I am just trying to learn here so i even did not create any dB or something, it is 1st time I run configuration to add security roles and users for testing!
I also un-installed all and re-installed, still the same...

I am getting the above error. On server1 I am running a dts package via a sql server job (sql server2005). This has been working perfectly for over a year. This package needs to access a database on server2. The database in question on server2 was recently restored from our produciton environment to refresh the data. Every since thsi time the job on server1 is failing with the above error.
Steps I have taken so far: droped the user from server2 and recreated it gave the user sysadmin rights on server 2 and server1
