SQL Server Express For Login Control
Aug 11, 2006
I have built a page with the login control using the default sql server express database that is integrated into the application. I have got it working on my development machine and want to post it on the web with a web hosting company. I did not know if they had to have sql server express installed on that machine for my database to work properly or will it work with sql server 2005 installed. Most web hosting companies that I have called say they only support sql server 2005 and not sql server express. I was unsure if the login would work or not.
Please help with this issue. I am new at ASP.net and really enjoy it. However, I want to ensure that my site will work on the web as it does on my machine.

Hello,
I am currently trying to use the Login control in an ASP.NET website with IIS. The control works fine when I am running the website in debug mode within Visual Studio 2005. However, when I create the Virtual Directory in IIS, and try to log in from there, I get an error message as follows:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'machinenameASPNET'
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'machinenameASPNET'.
The application is very simple. I created a Login.aspx page with a login control on it, and I have the default.aspx page. I used theASP.NET administration tool to change the authentication mode to AspNetSqlProvider (forms authentication), and to create one user (no roles). I am using the default provider with the aspnetdb.mdf database. I have been working on this for a few days now, and have searched this site but have not found a solution that works for me. Any suggestions?

I am try to login using the ASP.NET 2.0 Standard Login Control. When I enter the correct userId/Password and hit the Login button, the page just refreshes, no error is displayed. But if I enter wrong userid/password..it give me an error.
Also I check the Membership.ValidateUser() returns true, that means the user is validated, but still I am able to redirect to ReturnURL.?
Is there something wrong with the Authentication, or Creating a cookie. Can somebody shed some light on this,
I have the following machine configuration
Windows XP Pro Service Pack2
IIS 5.1
SQL Server 2000
Visual Studio 2005
DISABLE ANONMYOUS ACCESS IN IIS
ENABLE WINDOWS AUTHENTICATION
I am getting the following output :
Membership.ValidateUser(Login1.UserName, Login1.Password) : - True
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name : - // is blank
User.Identity.IsAuthenticated :- False
User.Identity.AuthenticationType :- // is blank
NOTE : The applicationName is same in web.config as well as in the aspnet_Applications table in SQL Server 2000 membership database.

Hi There, I have a really strange problem. I am creating a website with an administration back end. We have a seperate sql 2000 server which we are using hold authentication credientials (after having used the aspnet_regsql.exe to setup the appropriate tables. When testing the application on the local machine, everything works fine. The web admin works, I can login, I can retrieve data to display on the rest of the site. Once uploaded to the live environment things change.I can still connect to the sql server i.e. I have information being displayed on the public area of the site which is coming from the sql 2000 db. I can type in the incorrect login details to the admin section of the site and the system will return an error, which is correct as well, however, if I type in the correct login information, the page hangs for awhile and then displays this error: My question is, why is it doing this when it works find on my local box and the DB connection is actually working on other parts of the site? Can anyone help?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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody could advise on source code control for SQL Server express, for the table schema and stored procedures?
I currently use Sourcesafe V6 to work with visual studio 6 and 2003 (although it isn't integrated in 2003), and wondered if that can be used?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I see this as a disaster waiting to happen!
Thanks in advance.

I attached a SQL database called Cars, using the following code:
Code Block
IF NOT EXISTS(
SELECT *
FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = N'Cars'
)
CREATE DATABASE Cars
ON PRIMARY (FILENAME = 'C:DataServer FilesCars.mdf')
FOR ATTACH
GO
I then detached the database using:
Code Block
EXEC sp_detach_db @dbname = 'Cars'
,@skipchecks = 'true'
,@KeepFulltextIndexFile = 'true'
GO
I then copied the .mdf and .ldf to another folder, using Windows Explorer.
I then attached the database using the new folder name in my code.:
Code Block
IF NOT EXISTS(
SELECT *
FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = N'Cars'
)
CREATE DATABASE Cars
ON PRIMARY (FILENAME = 'C:DataNew FolderCars.mdf')
FOR ATTACH
GO
Now when I go to update my table, I see that I am hitting the .mdf in the new folder.
And, when I do my table updates, I see that I am hitting the .ldf in the old folder.
Two questions:
1. What did I do wrong, that updates are hitting the new .mdf, but the old .ldf?
2. How do I control what .ldf SQL Express uses?
I see references to 'SQL Server Agent' in the help pages, but do not see 'SQL Server Agent' within the application.
I see the reference to the old folder path, within the 'Database Properties Files page', but no possibity to edit the value.

Suppose I check "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" as one of the prerequisites for a custom app in a Windows Setup project.
From reading whatever docs I could get my hands on, it's still not clear to me how to control the installation of SQL Server Express with respect to things like instance name, service account, etc, etc.
In other words, this is stuff that's normally the domain of template.ini. However, there's no clear indication of where I should put template.ini so that the install of "prerequisite" SQL Server Express will see it and configure accordingly...
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help solve this...

Hi,
I was able to create an MSSQL database with the ASPNETDB.MDF file. But how do I get the Login Control to point to the MSSQL rather than the App_DataASPNETDB.MDF file?

Ok.. I have a web site I am developing in Visual Studio 2005. Its VB based with SQL Server 2005 as the backend. IIS 6 is the web engine and all of this is running on a Windows 2003 Server.
Here is the problem.. I have a form that authenticates a user and then redirects them to another page. The redirection is not working. All I get is 'Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again.' So I decided to trouble shoot a little and I added a Forgot your password control and a Sign up for new account control to the page as well. When I do the Forgot my password it sends me the username and password in an email, but it just refuses to accept them.
If I use the sign up for a new account control it actually lets me into the redirect page but if I log out and try to get back in it fails. Its crazy and if driving me out of my mind.
If someone wants to help me out I would appreciate it. I have been racking my brain over this for too many days.
Thanks in advance...

Ps. - I have read every thread and tried just about everything regarding this issue. It has to be something stupid and simple that I am overlooking.

This is my connection string : <add connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;User id=sa;password=*******;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|serdarmuh.mdf;Initial Catalog=serdarmuh;" name="connString"/> but it says :Login failed for user 'sa'.I adjust the password for "sa" during the setup and set the authentication moded to "Sql Server and Windows Authentication Mode". But it does not work.... If I tried "Integrated Security = True", then it says :Login failed for user 'Administrator' what should I do? Is it better to re-install sql server?

For the life of me I've had nothing but trouble using SQL Server Express. My latest problem sprung up out of nowhere, I all of a sudden begin getting the following error, when I know my app was working last time I ran it: "Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'PINCHCPUBrad'."I get this error in an auto-generated file App_Code.1voqxxpd.18.cs. What kills me is, I can connect to the database through Server Explorer and SQL Management Studio, but for some reason my application cannot. I really don't understand how logging-in works with SQL Server Express as I've never even set up a login. When I look at my database properties in Server Explorer is shows Owner as the exact entity my application says it can't find: 'PINCHCPUBrad'. The database I'm trying to connect is in my App/Data folder and my Connection String says: "LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=False;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> I honestly don't get why attaching to and maintaining a simple database is unbelievable difficult and unpredictable, but I constantly get screwey errors like this that pop up out of nowhere.

I'm attempting to connect to a SQL server database from the code behind in an ASP.net 2005 page. I am receiving the error:
"Cannot open database "Fastaff" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'DEBASER1\Carlo'."
4060
My web.config connection string is:
<add name="FastaffConnectionString2" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Fastaff;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
The odd thing is when I login to the the same database from the management console using windows authentication I am able to login and the connection info shows:
DEBASER1SQLEXPRESS (SQL Server 9.0.3042 - DEBASER1Carlo)
DEBASER1Carlo is the admin on the machine.
Any ideas?

I borrowed some code from a colleague to login into SQL Server:
public static SqlConnection GetConnection()
{
string dbNameSvr = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("DataBaseServer");
string db = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("DataBase");
string userId = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("UserId");
string password = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("Password");
string connStr = "Data Source=" + dbNameSvr + ";" +
"Database=" + db + ";" +
"User Id=" + userId +";" +
"Password=" + password + ";";
SqlConnection aConn = new SqlConnection(connStr);
return aConn;
}
It works but someone has commented that it is very insecure. I don't really understand why but I'll take his word for it. So I'm wondering what approach most people use to have a web app login to their database?

Hi everyone!
Is it possible to control the number of simultaneous connections one login id can have?
I`d like to avoid my users to share their login ids and passwords to help them enter data into the system.

I have two applications added to a single solution. A Web application and a ClassLibrary which contains the Unit Tests. From the ClassLibrary I am trying to open the SQL SERVER 2005 Express Database. The database is in the App_Code directory of the Web Application folder. I have added the App.config file in my class library which has the following credentials. <connectionStrings> <add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=MYSERVER;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;User Id=AZAMSHARP;Password=mypassword;"/> </connectionStrings>Now, when I run the test: [Test] public void CanOpenDatabaseConnection() { string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString; SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(connectionString); myConnection.Open(); Assert.AreEqual(myConnection.State, ConnectionState.Open); myConnection.Close(); }It throws the Exception: ThingsTODOTestApps.SqlConnectionFixture.CanOpenDatabaseConnection : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException : Login failed for user 'AZAMSHARP'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.I tried the same connectionString with the WebApps and it worked fine and displayed the results. Any ideas! PS: AZAMSHARP is my windows authentication account.

After installing SQL Server Express I can now connect using my Windows authentication but am unable to create a database because all BUILTINUsers only have public permissions. I don't have the sa password and there are no other users or user groups set up which I could use to upgrade my permissions. So I can't do much of anything with SQL Server.
For background, I'm setting this up on a personal laptop running Windows Vista. I'm one of only two users on the machine and I have an Administrator user account.
Any help is appreciated.

Help!!
I used to have an Access database which had tables for users, roles, actions etc.
This was used by a C++ client app (using ADO) which logged in, got the user ID and password (by raising a login dialog ) and then checked these against a user table and then assigned the roles and possible actions.
Now we have SWL Server Express 2005 - NT Authorisation - how do I get/pass the user ID to the C++ Application so it can get the associated roles? Seems silly to have 2 logins.
Better still can I do away with the App's User table or make its password column invisible to all users bar Admin and the C++ App?

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)
-This is the error that is being generated once the site is hosted. If I run my code from my machine and access my remote sql 2005 database it works fine. It is when I try to login from my URL directly that I get the error. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I am just wondering if i can control the access of range of variables from users' logins.
To be more specific, if i a parameter alpha has five values (1,2,3,4,5) and then i have 3 users A, B C, what i need is:
1. A can access Vaues(1, 3)
2. B can access Values (2, 4)
3. C can access Values(3,5)
Is there anyway i can do this either from the stored procedure i am getting the data or i can do it on SSIS development side?
