SQL Security :: Easiest Way Of Have A Single Job Step Run Under A Different Login?
Jul 20, 2015
I want to run a SQL Agent step as a different user than the one used by the Agent service. I thought that I would create a new credential and then have a proxy use it, however there are none for just plain old SQL. This is a SQL 2014 Enterprise instance. The reason for this is that I the Windows login that is used by the Agent service is not defined as a login in the database, I don;t want to therefore add it in as a user with restrictive rights it case it impacts on other jobs. What is the easiest way of have a single job step run under a different Login?
I hope the answer is as simple as the question -- but after reading all the documentation I could find (understand?) and a lot of posts here, I'm no closer to achieving the goal.
I have a Visual C# app, DAYTRACKER, developed in VS2005. It uses a database with several tables constructed using SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.
I want to deploy the app plus the database plus SQL Express to another machine, to be used by a single user (the administrator) with no need for network connectivity of any kind.
What I have so far is: 1. The application is successfully deployed from a CD-ROM, having used the Publish process within VS2005, and opens on the new machine -- without database connectivity, however. 2. SQL Express is successfully deployed (it deployed as a 'prerequisite' when I went through the Publish process in VS2005) 3. I manually copied the database's .mdf and .mdl files, using SQL Server Managers 'Copy Database' function, then transferred the copies to the new machine into the ..MSSQL.1MSSQLdata folder (where they appear along with the master.mdg, mastlog.ldf etc files)
Now, the DAYTRACKER application's DAYTRACKERConnectionString under 'Settings' in the VS2005 studio reads 'Data Source=DELL3;Initial Catalog=DayTracker;Integrated Security=True' (which are the appropriate parameters for the machine, DELL3, on which I wrote the program.)
The problem, of course, is that SQL Express on the new machine doesn't connect the application to the database. When I go to the 'SQL Server Configuration Manager' and go to the 'SQL Server 2005 Services' and double-click on the 'SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)' icon (the service is running) and the user is logged on using 'Local System Account'. Under the 'Service' tab the Host Name is 'MUSIC' (which is the name of the new machine I've installed the app onto -- which of course is not the name - DELL3 - that the app's connection string is expecting). Under the 'Advanced' tab, I've tried correcting the name of the Startup Parameters default .mdf and .mdl entries to ..DayTracker.mdf and ..DayTracker_log.mdl, but the server won't start up after I make the changes.
What I'm hoping for: a step-by-step way of doing this type of deployment, preferable getting it all onto one CD-ROM, and installing it on the new machine so that it all works seamlessly from the start, not requiring any 'tweaking' of the SQLServer Express settings by the end-user.
But I'll take pretty much anything that fixes the specific db connectivity problem I've described.
I am trying to sort out the member "Adams" from the committee members, and sum up the total amounts that were donated while he was the committee member.
The Table:
CREATE TABLE contribution_list (contrib_date DATE NOT NULL, donor_name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, amount NUMBER(8,2), program VARCHAR2(30), committee_member VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (contrib_date,donor_name,committee_member));
The Code that is giving me errors:(not a group by expression):
CREATE or REPLACE VIEW adams_conrtibution_total as select program, committee_member, sum(amount) from contribution_list where committee_member = 'Adams' group by program;
Hello,I am trying to update variable 'Type' (which is a pre-defined variablewithout any value in it). Is there a way to combine Step1 to Step3 intoone single Update? I tried the query at the bottom but it didn't work.Thanks a lot!--STEP1:Update TABLE1set type = casewhen name like '%Airline%' then 'Airlines'else 'Others'end--STEP2:update TABLE1set type = casewhen name like '%Brokerage%' then 'Brokerage'else 'Others'endwhere type = 'Others'--STEP3:update TABLE1set type = casewhen name like '%card%' then 'Credit Card'else 'Others'endwhere type = 'Others'--Failed query:Update TABLE1set type = casewhen name like '%Airline%' then 'Airlines'else when name like '%Brokerage%' then 'Brokerage'else when name like '%card%' then 'Credit Card'else 'Others'end
I would need to create multiple variables with the same format forfuture update, what I did is listing them separately, is there an easyway to combine them in one step? please see query below. Thanks a lot!--Current Query--SELECT cast(0.0 as money) as balance_1,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_2,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_3,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_4,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_5,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_6,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_7,cast(0.0 as money) as balance_8,account_no,XXXINTO table1FROM accountCan I do something like this? This one didn't work.SELECT balance_1 to balance_8 (cast 0.0 as money),account_no,XXXINTO table1FROM account
I am new to SQL Server 2005 (but many years in SQL Server and .NET), and I am sort of having everything figured out for my company. However, one thing that still bothering me is that:
In the old Server 2000, you can execute a single step in a DTS package by right click the step and then click execute step.
In the new server 2005, I can only execute the whole package from the Management Tool and Edit the pack from VS 2005. Is there also a way for me to execute a single step in a SSIS package?
I have a server that has 20 databases . I have tested with few users with different level of access and all of them were able to connect to the server and also see, select, update , delete from a particular database which is kind of weird because they do not have a user login associated or mapped to that database. I checked and no user is part of any group in AD that would give them permission to connect . I need a query that would find the permission path of a user. I already queried with xp_logininfo but I am not getting any thing.
I want to convert .rdl to .rdc need full steps.Actually i created .rdl report using sp sucessfully.Now i want to convert it to rdlc while doing it iam getting some authentication error and some thing else.I created rdl in 2008 and i want to change it to rdlc 2010.
I have a package that has multiple data flow tasks. At the end of a task, key data is written into a raw file (file name stored in a variable) that is used as a data source for the next task. Each task requires a success from the preceding task.
Here's the rub:
If I execute the entire package, the results of the package (number of records of certain tasks) differs significantly from when I execute each step in the package in turn (many more records e.g. 5 vs 350).
I get the feeling that the Raw file is read into memory before it is flushed by the previous task, or that the next task begins preparation tasks too early.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am running on Server 2003 64 (although the same thing happens when deployed on a Server 2003 32 machine)
We just upgraded SQL 6.5 to 7.0 --database was imported (thinking all table structure/ data all were imported.) Software application lost its login connection.
How can I re-establish the connection ? Thanks for your help !!
I'm having 2 Dummy Users. The one i created i direct login on the server and access to 2 databases. The second one i've placed in a AD users group. That group has a login and is also mapped to the 2 databases.
Sql server is running with on a AD-users, not localsystem.
Why can DummyOne work fine, and DummyTwo (the grouped one) can login but access none of the databases.
Hi, I have to transport a big database table and can't read it at once with "select * from table" because the table is bigger than my system memory. Is there a way to read the table step by step? I thought it was possible with ADO and his serverside cursors but I don't now how. I need an "universal" solution that works on SQL Server 2000/2005, MySQL and Oracle.
Connecting to a networked SQL Server Box from my local machine
Open Query Analyzer from Start menu, logging in using sa account.
from the object browser i select my stored procedure (WEA_InsertClaim) - right click and select Debug.
i am prompted to enter the parameter values, which i do, auto rollback checkbox is checked - click Execute.
T-SQL Debugger opens and runs through the stored procedure.
but only buttons enabled are the "Go", "Toggle Breakpoint", "Clear All Breakpoints"
so i can set breakpoints etc. but when i select Go it will not stop at the breakpoints it just runs through the stored procedure from start to finish. giving the correct return code as its output
is there something i need to enable in order to make it stop at breakpoints??
I have a server that belongs to domain 'a'. The server is neither a PDC or BDC. This server has SQL Server 7 installed. I wanted security set up so the Domain Administrator could select/update rows in the database and administer the database as well as the local administrator of the Sql Server. From a workstation the domain administrator can create tables but cannot insert rows. From the Server in question the domain administrator can create tables and insert rows. Why does it make a different what box the domain adminstator logs on to?
I am testing restoring databases on another SQL 2005 server in out environment using HP data protector 5.5 and its great. However, I notice that the security login accounts do not get restored. If this is the case how do I go about getting accounts restored? Also, are there any other options?
We're having a bit of a problem getting Integrated Security to work with a .Net 2.0 application and SQL 2005. While we're tweaking permissions on the SQL-side, we came across an account "Application Login" and wondered what its role is. First, our problem:
Currently, the users in the AD group get a connection error. This group is defined as follows at the instance level:
role: public user mapping: to the database without any default schema securables: none status: grant and enabled
At the database security level:
general: none securables: execute on all (100+) stored procedures
And we gave them "Execute" on the database itself.
A little background: we had detached and copied this database from one server to another. So we suspect that the Application Login may have been modified/corrupted, even though it appears to be identical between the original and the copied databases. So we redefined it on the copied DB to match the original. Another group, which is defined as dbo on the database, has no problem at all connecting and running the application.
The Application Login has Execute permissions on all stored procedures and Delete, Insert, Select, Update, and View Definition on the ChangeLog table. It also has db_DataReader, db_DataWriter, and db_ddlAdmin roles associated with it.
Is there another SQL login required for initial connection to the database even though Integrated Security=SSPI is used in the connection string?
Does anyone see where we may be missing a security setting for the non-dbo user group to connect to the database?
Thanks very much for any suggestions, ideas .... Cheers, Tess
I have to give three users read access to a database. My manager told me to map them to a User called "zxDatabase.Read.ug". I scripted the User and got this...
I don't see a Login at the server level named zxDatabase.Read.ug, so this is confusing. Where is this login in SSMS?
How do I map my three users to user zxDatabase.Read.ug. Or am I not understanding correctly? Do I just add there windows login to the database as Users and configure them the same as zxDatabase.Read.ug
I have a small project for educational institutuin online examination. But 500 students has to login and save their answers.. Is it possible to have in sql server 2008 for 500 login can access a single database & can save?
Any idea why I cannot connect to a SQL Server database using SqlConnection and no Integrated security? I get a "Login failed for user 'XXXX'" error. The user ID and password I am using are all correct and have the required access (tested several times from different places).The connection string I am using is: "Server=XXXXX;Database=XXXXX;Trusted_Connection=fal se;User ID=XXXX;Password=XXXXX" I have also tried replacing "Server" by "Data source", "Database" by "Initial catalog", "Trusted_Connection" by "Integrated security", "User ID" by "UID" and "Password" by "PWD".Any ideas?
I 'm a newbie to SQL Server, been using Access as a database for my web app. and have decided I need the power of SQL Server. Using VWD Express, I am able to generate a SQL database with my tables and stored procedures quite easily as well as access the database from my asp.net code. This works fine on my devlopment machine. But now I want to deploy on my remote server and the webhost says they can attach my SQL database but they need my SQL login info. So I have a couple of questions: 1. Does the SQL database I create in VWD express only work in Integrated Security mode or can I assign a username & password to the .mdf file so I can upload to my remote host to work in a shared SQL environment? 2. Or am I confused and the .mdf file is just a data file which can be attached to any SQL account and the SQL login info only pertains to the instance of SQL Server that I'm trying to connect to? 3. My web host mainly uses SQL Server 2000. Will a simple database created in SQL Server 2005 Express work on an instance of SQL Server 2000? If I can just figure these simple items out, I will be ecstatic!
Currently studying for 70-229.I'm trying to understand how security for users is managed in SQLServer. I've been using SQL Server for a few years now, but withoutinvestigating the bits that "just work".So, here's the scenario. This is more or less how I create all myapplications (which these days are all ASP.NET).I have a database called "TESTDB" (original, huh?)Now, I want to create a method for users to access this database, so Iopen EM, locate and expand the node for the server containing thedatabase, and open the "Security" node. Click on the "Logins" leaf,and in the pane right-click and select "New Login.."On the "General" tab I enter "TESTDBLOGIN" as the Name.Select "SQL Server Authentication", and put in a password.In the drop-down list of databases select "TESTDBLOGIN"Ignoring the "Server Roles" tab, I go to the "Database Access" tab andscroll down until I can see the "TESTDB" database. Check the "Permit"checkbox, and lo!, the "Database Roles for TESTDB" list is populated,with "public" already ticked. I check the "db_owner" box, and press"OK". It asks me to confirm the password, and once that's done there'sa new login called TESTDBLOGIN. What's more in "Users" leaf in the"TESTDB" database node there's a new user called "TESTDBLOGIN".All well and good. I can now create a connection using this login anddo more or less what I want in the TESTDB database.But.If I click the "Users" leaf in the "TESTDB" node, there are two users -"dbo" and "TESTDBLOGIN". If I right-click the "TESTDBLOGIN" user, Ican see that it has Database Role Memberships for the "public" and the"db_owner" roles. But if I examine the permissions on these two roles(by selecting the row, and then pressing the "Permissions" button) Ifind that there are permissions set for EITHER role - all the checkboxes are blank!So, how is it that I can do SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT and DELETEoperations via this login/user?Sorry it all took so long - I just wanted to get it right.ThanksEdward--The reading group's reading group:http://www.bookgroup.org.uk
We have a Web application that requires user authentication. We have a Login Page for user's to login and be authenticated. We also manage the user accounts using SQL Server Membership Provider. We created aLogin user in SQL Server and used this user's privileges to connect to SQL Server in our website's connection strings. Example, in our Web.config file, the connection string is:
The problem now is when a user logs in, it's throwing an error that TUser's password has already expired. We did not enforce the password policy and expiration date for this user. So, I'm wondering why it's giving me this error.
We are seeing login failures for windows accounts. Below is the error message.

Troubleshooting done: - Recreated the windows login in sql server. Doesn't work. - ran sp_valdidatelogins. it doesn't return any rows. - I belong to sysadmin role and when I say, getting below error message.
xp_logininfo 'domainloginname' /* Msg 15404, Level 16, State 19, Procedure xp_logininfo, Line 64 Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'domainloginname', error code 0x5. */
We tried dropping this account and re-creating the windows account with same permissions but still result is same.It throws same error message. Login failure message !!!
Is SQL Server sensitive to Domain group name? Like "Domain Admin"?
I have user that belong to "myDomainDomain Admin" group. Group is in SQL as sysadmin but user cannot login using domain credentials. When I move that user to a different domain group which that group is in SQL again as sysadmin my user is able to login.
HiI need to set security for row level but not based on Database user'slogin. It should be based on the user table login. For the particularuser I need to allow only the particular records to access insert,update delete and select.Let me explain clearlyFor example think we are using asp/asp.net websiteEg:www.test.comSo take this is our website and if you try this URL then you will get awindow for Login name and password.For example the Login name is windows user name (Here windows usermeans server windows user and not client) and windows password. So ifyou have login user id you can able to login in our site and we haveanother check. We have our own usertable this table consist all theuser login names and user rights. We will check the windows user whologin in our site has rights in the usertable I mean he is present inthe usertable if he is not present then we will display a message youhave no rights to access this site.If he has login id in our usertable then he allowed viewing ourpages. Still if he has the login id we will check the user who loginhas how much right to access to each page and the records of each tableits all depend on the user rights.So, here I need the row level security. For each and every table weneed to check the corresponding user and executing the record producelot of business logic problem for us.So after the user login we need automatically to set row levelsecurity for all the tables. Based on the user who login.So from there if we try select * from <tablename> then we can only ableto get the allowed records to select, insert, update, delete.Please can some one help how to solve this?Note:For some help you can refer the below URL (See in that they only givenabout the row level and column level security for each database usersnot for our required concept)http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...5/multisec.mspxThanks in advanceRams
We are having some commercial applications that are running on sql servers at different sites, all with sql security. The software vendor wants to copy data into staging tables on our BI server. But our BI server only support Integrated security.
But how can i say, in the definition of a linked server (at the remote machines) to swicth security system ?
If it is possible i could enter a fixed domain-account in that users fields, but i suppose that this field was intended for SqlServer security.
In my DB (SQL 2012) one windows authentication is created automatically and a schema is created exactly automatically that this user is owner of this schema. (e.g the user is domainx and schema exactly domainx).
I created a DDL Trigger on my DB to find out who and how it is created , but I didn't get any useful information.
I change the owner of schema that I can delete the schema and after that delete the user, and sometimes because the user is owner of a service , I have to alter the owner of the service to DBO and delete the user , but again and again exactly this user and schema (e.g domaninx ) are created as soon as I delete it.
I have read these topics : [URL] .... and [URL] .... but can't solve my problem.
