Scenario: I register a remote (across the internet) SQL server in Enterprise Manager with SQL Server authentication using the "sa" account. Does this mean that whenever I connect to it, my "sa" username and password gets sent un-encrypted (cleartext) across the internet?
My guess is, yes, and that the only way to avoid this is to set up a VPN between my local LAN and the remote SQL server.
Hi all, i encountered this problem.. whenever i tried to create publications it always prompt me this error msg "sql server replications does not support nicknames,such "." or "(local)". i know i need to delete the registration and register a new server with a different name.. i just want to double confirm whether deleting the registration will affect the databases or not ? :
View 1 Replies View RelatedEventually with hosting in mind, what are the pros and cons of designing one's backend as a file ( within the Website directory) as compared to creating the database onthe egistered SQL server of the development machine?
e.g. If I go thru SQL Server express 2005 and create a new db say MyDb, it creates it on the default SQL server of my machine, (without prompting for the DB files physical location.. I'm sure one would have to search)
Is it the same as choosing between MSDE Vs SQL Server 8 in the VS 6.0 era? oris there more than meets the eye? Any known best practices, performance issues etc?

Trying to use OPENROWSET in 2005 to pull data from a 2000 server.
I have created a linked server named "ABC". But when I execute OPENROWSET I get an error message back:
Msg 7403, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "ABC" has not been registered.
This is not my comfort zone, so any advice on what settings I need to use is appreciated.

I have SQL Server 2000 installed on one hard drive. I just installed SQL Server 2000 to another hard drive. I'd like to be able to transfer all the registered servers (including the group they belonged to) to the new SQL Server. Is there an easy way to do this? Otherwise, it seems that I have to go to "Client Network Utility" and register each server again, which are a lot of servers.

Hi all: I am getting the following error when I try to review the deployed reports on localhost.
"An error has occurred during report processing.
An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'OLEDB' that is not registered for this report server."
I checked the report manager, and for "connection type", there is a warning message as shown below:
"The data processing extension used for this report is not available. It has either been uninstalled, or it is not configured correctly."
I will appreciate any help in this regard.

SP2 for SQL Server 2005 x64 has been less than happy for me.
The initial problem, mentioned in another thread, concerned SSIS client which stopped liking Data Flow components. It was solved by a removal and reinstallation of the client tools.
However, there now seems to be a problem with making use of the Teradata oledb provider within SSIS. Prior to the installation of SP2 there was no problem.
I create a new SSIS package
Add a Data Flow component
Within the data flow add an oledb source
Create a new connection - using the Teradata oledb provider
Test the connection (it works!)
Use SQL something like "select * from some_teradata_table_on_the_TD_server"
Click on columns, wait a second, a list of columns is returned
Add a SQL Server destination (with a new SQL Server connection)
Connect the two components
Save the package
Click go
The TD oledb source component turns bright red and the error is "class not registered"
I have uninstalled the TD oledb provider (and underlying TD components) and re-installed (32-bit and 64-bit) - no change
Any ideas?

I am attempting to deploy a sample report (SQL 2005 Workgroup w/SP2) and I am receiving the subject error message when I attempt to view the report on the web server. We are using SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition connecting to an Oracle database.
Is this a limitiation of this version? In report designer, I am able to select Oracle as a connection type. If I try to create a data source at the server, "Microsoft SQL Server" is the only option available. If I look at the ReportServer config file, I see many other data connection types available. Did I miss a step, or is this a Workgroup Edition limitation (it's not documented as a limitation that I am able to find)?
Thanks in advance...
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 have recently downloaded Orcas beta VS product and had no previous version of VS before. The install went clean and I have been able to generate Window apps and web apps with very little issues; however, I have one issue with running a web app using the "view in browser" option for checking an aspx page for validity. If I use the default Northwind database provided and generate an aspx form using the "DataSet" toolbox widget, the tool prompts for the datasource etc. required to generate the required code. I can select the Northwind database and select the desired columns from one of the tables. Once completed, I build the project (clean build) and then select the "view in browser" option to verify the results. The result is an error page indicating a server error ->

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.

I am trying to setup cached reports so that one of my larger reports doesn't have to be re-run every time someone wants to view it (the data source only updates every 24 hours).
Anyway I made a new data source, set the report to use that, and in that data source I said to use "SQLexampleUserName" as the stored credentials.
Now when I go to run the report it says: Login failed for user 'username'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
This is referenced in the MSKB here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555332
Which makes sense, but now my question is: If I want to used a cached report do I HAVE to allow SQL Server Credentials?
I was using Windows Authentication only up to this point.

Do you know how to keep the connection persistent?

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
Hello, I have created a database through SQL Server Management Studio Express. Now I would like to connect to it via Visual Studio. I need help though!
I selected view server explorer in the visual studio IDE. I don't see my new database under the "Data Connections" node. I then right click on this node and select the menu option "Add Connection..."
I am prompted to select the data source and so I chose "Microsoft Sql Server". I am then prompted with a dialog box that Ask me to enter the server name. This is asked via a drop down list box. Nothing is in the list box and nothing displays if I press the drop down to select a server. My question is what server name should I use?
Also I am asked to chose between SQL server authentication and Windows authentication. Which of those should I chose?
I got Form Authentication to work, but I am getting this error sometimes. To reproduce this error consistantly is to run iisreset.exe to have a fresh start. Go to my report server login and open any report.
The page will display: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
If i click "F5" to refresh the page the report will show up or if you go to another report it will work also. It is just the first time after iisreset.exe. It is very strange.
Here is my log file:

Hi,
I have 7.0 server running with sp2 on NT box sp 5. This Sql server is configured to take both sql and NT authentication. Somehow, the bridge between NT and SQL server doesn't seem to be working as sql server does not recognize any NT authentication. Is there any way to fix it?
Because of this problem, I am unable to schedule any DTS package as sql server security doesn't recognize the sqlagent startup account and gives a login failure error.
I am about to open a ticket with Microsoft but before that if anybody can suggest me anything..
Thanks,

I have an SQL Server (2000 Edition) that does not belong to a domain; Server A. (It loggs onto its own computer domain). From this server I would like to add another sql server registration through Enterprise Manager that does belong to a domain; Server B (also 2000 Edition).
The only way I can register Server B on the Server A computer is by logging onto the domain that Server B belongs to.
Is it possible to just use SQL Server authentication and not have Server A logon to the Server B domain? If so what could I be doing wrong?
When Server A is logged onto its own local computer domain I can ping Server B and also resolve the server by name.
Any suggestions?
Many Thanks,

Viual Studio 2003; ASP.Net; .Net Framework 1.1, SQL Server 2000Hi,We have two domains in our network - prod.domain.com and dev.domain.com. There is no trust relationship between the two domains. I am trying to connect to an SQL Server in dev.domain.com using SQL Server Authentication from prod.domain.com. My connection string uses the fully qualified domain name (xxxxxx.dev.domain.com) to connect. The error I receive is SQL Server does not exist or access denied. I can access the database through SQL Query Analyser and SQL Enterprise Manager across the domains with no problems. I can also connect through a .udl file using the same SQL Server Authentication information.If I run my application from dev.domain.com accessing a database that sits in prod.domain.com then the connection is fine.Can someone point me in the direction of any areas I can troubleshoot to see what is preventing the connection please? The only things I can see on the web are details of windows authentication across domains which isn't relevant to me in this instance. I've been pulling what little hair I have out over this for the last week.Thanks in advance.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am new to the whole ASP .NET scene, so my knowledge is very limited, and if I’m not clear enough please let me know. I am reading a book published by APress about ASP .NET with C# and I am at the point where I get to begin working with data (fun!!). The problem is that I’m not able to connect to the SQL Server. I have Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005 running on a separate machine than the computer that I use for development – the server is named THESERVER, the SQL server is named THESQLSERVER, and the computer I use for development is my laptop named MYLAPTOP. So here’s my connection string (I put this in my web.config XML file):<add name="Pubs" connectionString="DataSource=THESERVERTHESQLSERVER; Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Securit=SSPI"/> Now here’s what my book reads: For Windows authentication to work, the currently logged-on Windows user must have the required authorization to access the SQL database. This is all it says about Windows authentication because the book assumes that I am running MS SQL Express off localhost. Questions: Does the book mean that I will have to add a user to my server for my laptop? If so, how do I log into this user using the connection string?What does it mean by “the current logged-on Windows user”? Is that referring to the user on my laptop, or a user on the server? I’ve been reading around trying to find more information on exactly how Windows authentication works, but I keep coming up dry. I know that much of this is probably trivial to a lot of you, which is why I am asking because it isn’t to me. Well, thanks in advance for any help that you can provide me.
