Hai,
I'm having Windows XP SP2 version and I have installed SQL server 2005. Whenever I'm opening SQL server management studio in Windows Authentication Mode I get a pop message indicating that "SSPI context error message". What may be the problem and how to sort it out?

Hai,
I usually connect SQL Server 2005 using Windows authentication mode (trusted connection). I have one server to which four client machines are connected and all the clients are windows XP SP2. The SQL Server 2005 I have installed is Standard Edition. When I'm connecting I get a pop message indicating that "SSPI context error message". I have seen the Troubleshooting Article ID : 811889. I was'nt able to resolve it. What may be the problem and how to sort it out ?

We are runnig Windows server 2003 R2 and SQL Server 2005 Standard on the same computer.
We have workstations that log into our domain with Windows Authentication. The software loads just fine and then later up pops the error noted above.
Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.

hi,
While trying to connect to SQLSever 2000 or SQLSever 2005 from a vb.net application ,
a user is getting the error "Cannot generate SSPI context" while other users
can still connect to the server.
and moreover, this user were able to connect before.
and if he restarts his computer, then try to connect after a lap of time, it will connect.
but if he waits and opens other applications,and then tries to open the application,it will not work.
so how to resolve this problem?

Dear Sir,
I tried installing sql server using mixed mode authentication but i am constantly receiving a error as follows and its getting shutting down
A connection could not be established to AICRR
Reason :Cannot generate SSPI context
Please verify sql server is running and check your sql server registeration properties(by right clicking on the AICRR node) and try again.
Please give me the resolution as soon as possible.

I regularly (every month or so) get the error "The target principle name is incorrect. Cannot generate SSPI context" when trying to remotely connect to my SQL 2012 instance. The SQL service is running using a managed service account. I understand this error can occur when the service account cannot authenticate with AD properly. Looking at the properties of the managed service account, the password for the account was automatically changed this morning - just when the error started.

Hello together,
since over a week I've been looking to
find out the reason for two error messages I get from our users and
servers, unfortunately without success up to now.
I really hope you can help me.
We are using Win 2k servers with active directory and SQL Server 2000,
clients are all Win XP with SP2. Versions of access are 2002 &
2003. The errors are userspecific and occur in both versions. The
SQL-Servers are accessed with an adp-file in 2002-format.
We have one usergroup which is member of specially many groups. This
affects the size of their windows access token which becomes constantly
larger. In order to enable those users to still access their mailboxes
on our Exchange servers, the DWORD entry "MaxTokenSize" with the
decimal value "65535" was made to the newly created key "Parameters" of
their registry branch
"HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlLsaKerberos ".
Since then those users can not access any of our SQL Servers using the
windows authentification. One of them gets the error
"[DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead(recv().] General network error. Check your
network documentation.", the others the error "Check connection:
Failed: Cannot generate SSPI context".
In case of resetting the registry entries (by deleting them), the one
user receives the same error message as the rest while it doesn't make
any difference to those (but at least they can't connect to their
mailboxes).
After having researched the web, I realised in one of the SQL-Servers
logfiles the entry "Invalid buffer received from client.." which lead
me to start to believe it could have to do something with the kerberos
encryption in the first place. Therefore I asked if changes to the
tokensize had been made. I applied the change with "EXEC sp_configure
'network packet size', 65535 RECONFIGURE" on our testsystem and "EXEC
sp_configure" confirms that the value is run.
Consequence: The entry in the SQL Server log doesn't appear any longer, but the users still receive their error messages.
Do you have any hints?
Your comments will be highly appreciated!

Hi-I have a program that I am developing on a laptop, then deploying it on a server.I have the prgram running passing a username and PW in the connection object, but like the idea of using windows authentication MUCH better.I just joined the domain, so I am domain/me for example.If I log into the server, and look at securities, logins and added domain/me to the logins.I then try and set up a sql connection via both visual studio, and sql server magt studio, and get the dreaded "Cannot generate SSPI context" error. Anyone else have this problem? SHOULD V.S. be using domain/me to connect? TIA dan

All of a sudden I cannot connect to sql server from Visual Studio. Nor I can't conenct to Sql server through IIS and it gives me the same error saying "Login failed: Cannot Generate SSPI Context". Lots of my development projects got stuck because of the SSPI Issue. I know there was a network upgrade from Windows NT (users) to Active directory. I can only access the sql server from the host machine.if someone can guide or give me a quick run down on things to look for that would be wonderful.

I have a SQL Server 2000 in a specific W2K server, that belongs to a domain that is administered by a W2003 server.
There is a client that has a new computer with WXP in the same domain. It used to have an old machine with W2K pro. and with the same user it worked OK.
When accesing SQL from the client with an Office2003 application via ODBC with windows authentication, after several minutes working OK, suddenly it gets this message:
Conection error. SQL state: S1000
Cannot generate SSPI context.
In the client I have executed cliconfg.exe and created a piped name protocol, but still it won't work.
Howdy,
Firstly, I have read through so much information on this, that my eyes are starting to bleed and I am right at the end of my rope with it all..
This issue has only started showing since I re-installed my dev box, so my server has not changed at all..
Server is 2003 with SQL 2005.
Dev box is
Vista (Ultimate)
Visual Studio Pro 2005..
A quick but painful solution is for me to log out of my box and then back in, but this is unworkable at times... about the only difference I can think of this install from the last is that now I have also installed SQLExpress on the dev box. I have gone into services and made sure that the service does not start auto. I have connection to the server and am running as administrator on both until such time as I can sort this out, but the error still occurs.
Authentication for the dbase is both windows and credential.
Can someone please give me a stratight out solution for this.
Cheers
I'm signing into a sqlexpress 2005 local server using windows integration and it fails with a "Cannot generate SSPI context". After 2 years of working with this, it just started to happen after I installed a new piece of software to test. My colleague thinks it hosed our domain names. I've read all the articles and most of them have to do with a non-local server. I also read that this is caused with TCP/IP so I disabled it for sqlexpress and tried again. Then I get "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to the sql server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings sql server does not allow remote connections." I know I have remote enabled so that isn't true. If it uses VIA, "Login failed for user '(null)'. Not a trusted sql connection" or something like that. Anyway, I think something is hosed in my domain and my colleague fixed it by downloading some xp tool that he can't remember where it came from. Any chance anyone else knows about this tool?

I have an XP box with SQL 2k working without any problems. I am trying to install SQL 2005 CTP April on the same machine. Installation goes fine, but when I try to connect, I am getting an error "Can not Create SSPI Context". Why am getting this error ? DOes the machine needs to be on a domain to get connected? If yes, is there a work around? Can I use mixed mode? WhereHow do I specify password for sa?
Our end users is getting below error, when they try to connect to our database:

That is Windows based application and we have done everything like restart our DB Server , reinstall exe in users system, but still issue is same.The issue has occured from when DB Server has restarted and at the same time few users are connected. before that it was working fine. we could not find what is issue.
Hi,
I have a MSSQL database running in a Microsoft cluster. I was working on troubleshooting for another SAP problem when they suggested I change the setting using hte SQL Server Client Network Utility to 'named pipes' from 'tcp/ip'. Every since, despite changing it back I'm unable to start the database in the cluster.
I'm kind of a newbie at this so I'd really appreciate any help in getting this database up and running.
Here is the error message from the event log:

Hi,
I have gone through so many kb articles to understanding the problem, but no luck as yet.
Here is the situation:
I have two dev servers : Server A and Server B. Both are set up in an identical fashion. Windows 2003 sp2, Sql Server 2005 sp1 Developer Edition, both are on the same domain, Both have all the three protocols enabled: Shared Memory, Tcpip, and Named Pipes in that order. I can ping both servers, and telnet using the default port. Both have only default instances. Both use the same domain user account for sql service. Both have the error in the log saying that spn could not be registered so authentication may fall back to NTLM.
Here is the issue: When I try to register Server A specifying tcp-ip connection, I am successful and I can see that the authentication is NTLM - is as expected. since the spn registration did not happen and since the sqlservice account is not a domain admin, the authentication used NTLM over tcp-ip. However, I try to register Server B specifying tcpip, I get a cannot generate sspi context error. Why did the authentication not fall back to NTLM as in Server A? From what I read in the KB articles, I asked our network admin to check up the spn, but he assures me that spn were never manually registered.
Can somebody throw more light on this issue?
Thanks

We are looking at developing an SQL Server 2005 Database and I would like to use Windows Authentication rather than SQL Server Authentication to connect our client app.
In our development environment, we have two Servers, one being used as a file server and the other as an SQL Server. We have now set up a domain using the file server as the domain controller. (We had previously been set up to use a workgroup).
I have set up an active directory group called SqlDevelopers and added an active directory user called Jonathan to it.
On the SQL Sever, in management studio, I have set up a new server login which uses windows authentication called DomainSqlDevelopers. I used the GUI to verify I could see the domain and the group.
The default database is set to a test database on the server. A user in the test database is mapped to the DomainSqlDevelopers and given the Roles dbo, db_datareader, db_datawriter.
To test the log in, on the server, I logged out as administrator and in as Jonathan. I could successfully access the server through management studio using windows authentication.
However, if I log in as Jonathan on my client PC and try to access the SQL Server using management studio and windows authentication, I have problems.
The first time I try I will get a timeout error. If I try again will get either:
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection
Or
Cannot generate SSPI context
I can€™t determine any pattern to which of the above errors I get.
However, if I log in as administrator on my client PC, I can connect to the server using management studio and windows authentication.
Sounds like Active Directory/Domain or other Network issue (Not really my area). I would be grateful for any help.
Thanks,
Jon
I have a client using a small SQL Express database with an Access front end.
I've created a form in the front end that allows a supervisor the ability to perform two very basic security operations. 1) Adding a new user, and 2) granting/removing write privileges. The code behind the form uses VBA to build some T-SQL strings and then executes them via an ADO connection.
The strings are as follows:
1) Add new login to server:
"CREATE LOGIN [NETWORKUserName] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = MyDatabase"
2) Add user to database:
"USE MyDatabase CREATE USER [NETWORKUserName]"
3) Grant Write Permissions:
" USE MyDatabase EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datawriter', 'NETWORKUserName' "
4) Remove Write Permissions:
" USE MyDatabase EXEC sp_droprolemember 'db_datawriter', 'NETWORKUserName' "
I have full privileges over the server & database, and everything runs perfectly.
However, when the supervisor - whose login includes security admin privileges - tries this, he gets a message that says "Changed Context to MyDatabase, Error# -2147217900, 80040e14" and the code fails.
If I grant him "db_owner" status, the message does not come up and everything runs perfectly.
I'm not a security guru or anything, but I suspect that it's not the greatest idea to hand out db_owner privileges.
I ran a search, and the best I could come up with were a couple of KB articles:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;197459
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;143339
I'm not even sure these articles are talking about what's happening..
Any ideas?
I have a client using three small SQL Express databases with MS Access front ends. I've created a form in each of the front end apps that allows a supervisor the ability to perform some very basic security operations. The VBA code in the form concatenates some simple TSQL strings and then executes them via an ADO connection. The strings are as follows:
1) Add new login to server:
"CREATE LOGIN [NETWORKUserName] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = MyDatabase"
2) Add user to database:
"USE MyDatabase CREATE USER [NETWORKUserName]"
3) Grant Write Permissions:
" USE MyDatabase EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datawriter', 'NETWORKUserName' "
4) Remove Write Permissions:
" USE MyDatabase EXEC sp_droprolemember 'db_datawriter', 'NETWORKUserName' "
Everything runs perfectly for me. However, when the supervisor tries this, he gets a message that says "Changed Context to MyDatabase, Error# -2147217900, 80040e14" and the VBA code fails.
I've found two workarounds, but they have drawbacks that I'd rather not deal with
1) If I change the default database for his login to "MyDatabase1" it runs fine. But sometimes he needs to be able to perform these same operations in "MyDatabase2" or "MyDatabase3".
2) If I grant him "db_owner" status, it runs fine. However, I'd rather not hand out "db_owner" status if I don't have to
The only other idea I have to to build "EXECUTE AS.." stored procedures for each of these operations and then call those SPROC's from VBA.. Will this help? Any other ideas?
I keep getting these alerts but the client's IP listed in the message doesn't seem to be having a problem. I'm not sure if it is retrying and succeeds the second or third try. I commonly get 2 of these messages each time it happens. I thought is may be when the user connects to the server in Management Studio but when I got the message today the user wasn't trying to connect to this server. The server the use was connected to in SSMS is linked to this server but if the link was causing the error it looks like it would return the IP of the server instead of the users IP. The link is done using a SQL login account. Anyway, this is not a big problem since know body except me even knows it is happening but I'd like to figure it out.

I understand from some threads here that it is an issue related to contacting the AD. In event viewer it is not clear what is casuing this. I have WSS databases, Biztalk server databases.....and some other user databases. NO home made applications contact sql server.
Â
What is the best route to follow to see who is not being able sometimes and why contacting the AD. I read the thread at URL.... but it is related to express 2005 and it does not apply to my case.
