A friend of my self asked me how he can save a password not as clear text. He wanted to encrypt the password and save the encrypted string in the database.
How can he do this. I heard from somebody that he might do this with SSIS. Unfortunately I doesn't understand what he ment. Maybe somebody can help me here.

I have a USERS table on an SQL Server 2000 with two fields, USER_NAME AND PASSWORD, and I want to encrypt the passwords when I stored them on the table.
I used {Encrypt N ‘MyPassWord’} to encrypt the password and it looks that the passwords have been encrypted.
Went, however, I execute a SELECT statement for a specific password all passwords are returned.
This is a small sable code:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE dbo.Users
(
User_Name nvarchar (10) NOT NULL ,
PassWord nvarchar (50) NOT NULL
)
GO
INSERT INTO USERS (User_Name, PassWord)
VALUES ('MyName', {Encrypt N 'MyPassWord'})
GO
INSERT INTO USERS (User_Name, PassWord)
VALUES ('YourName', {Encrypt N 'YourPassWord'})
GO
SELECT * FROM USERS
WHERE PassWord = {Encrypt N 'MyPassWord'}
(2 row(s) affected)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately both (All) rows are return
Is it any way to encrypt password and be able to select them?
Is it any other way to encrypt data into the database?
Thank You

I'm having an issue with an SSIS package. It supposed to run on a schedule and pull data from one server (SQL1) to another (SQL2). Unfortunately, I'm using a shared server and I'm not that admin. So I'm limited to what I can try. According to the admin, my package is not retaining the password when I build it. It runs fine in debug mode on my machine, but will not run on his. I found this link...
http://vyaskn.tripod.com/sql_server_2005_making_ssis_packages_portable.htm
... and tried it. It describes how to create an XML for validation. Still no good. He sent a screenshot indicating error code: DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTION and OLE DB Source failed validation. In effect, login failed for SQL1 and it could not pull data.
How do I get the package to retain login data?
thanks!
I'm stuck with a very annoying problem - any help would be greatly appreciated.
I created a package using Business Intelligence Project. The package reads from a Flat File source and saves to a SQL Server table.
The package has a Data Source for the database connection. In this I have opted to save the password.
When I run the package in VS on my machine it works fine.
I then deployed the package to our SQL 2005 database server using the Deployment Utility. It then appeared in the MSDB section.
I then tested the package ran from my machine using Management Studio and all was fine.
However, if I try to run the package from the database server itself I run into problems. Specifically, the log gives me the following error:
"The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "<My Database>" failed with error code 0xC0202009"
....and further down I get:
"Error: an OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D. An OLE DB record is available. Source "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult 0x80040E4D Description: "Login failed for user 'sa'.".
What seems to be happening is the password is not being saved in the connection string. Sure enough, if I look at the Connection Managers section of the Execute Package Utility in Management Studio, then my database connection manager has only a User ID specified and no "pwd=". If I add "pwd=<my password>" to this connection string here then the package works.
How do I get this password to be remembered by the Package?
Incidentally, I have also tried writing a VB.NET program to call the package programmatically. Using this, I have tried to set the connection string of my Data Source in the code to try to get round the problem above. However, even after this I still find the only machine the package runs on is mine, and everywhere else it fails to connect.
Please help! Thanks in advance.

Hm... I use SSIS packages to manipulate some data from one SQL server to another. I chosed "DontSaveSensitiveData" and I am using a XML configuration file.
The problem is I have to edit the file with notepad manually and add the password for my SQLconnections in it.
Is it possible to do this from the Business Intelligence Studio instead?
I tried to edit the connections and set and save password there but it won't save it to the XML configuration file.
Or perhaps it is intended to be edited in notepad and passwords set manually to it?
How would I save a users password to a table, change it to a default password and restore it if necessary?

Hello:I didn't find any documentation that notes save point names are casesensitive, but I guess they are...Stored Proc to reproduce:/* START CODE SNIPPET */If Exists (Select * From sysobjects Where Type = 'P' and Name ='TestSaveTran')Drop Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranGoCreate Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranAsBeginDeclare@tranCount int--Transaction HandlingSelect @tranCount = @@TRANCOUNTIf (@tranCount=0)Begin Tran localtranElseSave Tran localtranBegin Try--Simulate Error While ProcessingRAISERROR('Something bad happened', 16, 1)/*If this proc started transaction then commit it,otherwise return and let caller handle transaction*/IF (@tranCount=0)Commit Tran localtranEnd TryBegin Catch--Rollback to save pointRollback Tran LOCALTRAN --<< NOTE case change--Log Error--Reraise ErrorEnd CatchEndGo--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/*Should receive the following message:Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN. No transaction or savepoint of that namewas found.*//* END CODE SNIPPET */What is really strange, if there is a transaction open, then no erroris thrown. So if you execute as so:/* START CODE SNIPPET */Begin Tran--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/* END CODE SNIPPET */There is no "Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN...." message.Questions:1-)Can someone confirm save point names are case sensitve and this isnot happening because of a server setting?2-)Is this a logic error that I am not seeing in the example codeabove?We have changed our code to store the save point name in a variable,which will hopefully mitigate this "problem".Thx.

I have connected to Database using my credentials by checking remember password option. After few days I forgot my password. How can I recover the password as SQL remember it. Is there any way to recover my password instead of resetting it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure!
However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it.
If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane!
I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is:
DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
Thank you
I am receiving the following error message when attempting to create a new SQL Authenticated login id.
Password validation failed. The password does not meet the requirements of the password filter DLL. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15119)
I have four servers all running SQL Server 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 Ent. SP1. Of the four servers, only one received the above error message using the same TSQL below.
CREATE LOGIN TEST_LOGIN WITH PASSWORD = 'pvif9dal' MUST_CHANGE, CHECK_EXPIRATION = ON
All four servers are in the same domain, which if I understand correctly, the password policies are therefore inherited at the OS level by the domain. The password being used is within the password policies of the domain.
Any ideas as to a root cause?

On the login prompt for Report Server, there is a checkbox option to "Remember my Password." I check this, login successfully... but when returning to the Report Server, I am again prompted for the password, although the user name is saved. No matter how many times I do this, the password will not save in IE7. I have tried this on 3 different computers with IE7. In IE 6, I do not even get the checkbox as an option, just the user name/password prompt. In Firefox, the password saves fine. Any ideas what would be causing this?
Thanks,
Brian

I have an internal Project Management and Scheduling app that I wrote internally for my company. It was written to use MySQL running on a Debian server, but I am going to move it to SQL Server 2000 and integrate it with our Accounting software. The part I am having trouble with is the user login portion. I previously used this:
PHP Code:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = "$username" AND user_password = password("$password")";
Apparently the password() function is not available when accessing SQL Server via ODBC. Is there an equivalent function I could use isntead so the passwords arent plaintext in the database? I only have 15 people using the system so a blank pwd reset wouldn't be too much trouble.

In Enterprise Manager when I bring up Trigger Properties there is an active button titled "Save as Template". But when I switch to an existing trigger the button is disabled. Oddly, the Help file for the dialog box doesn't even mention this button.
Anybody know what this does, how it works, or why it would be usefull? Any references to The Holy Book would be helpfull.
i have a vb6 app that writes data to a msde 7 db (in batches). when i run the process inhouse the entire process takes just under 2.30 min to save a batch of 50 records. when i run the process onsite it takes about 20 to 25 min to save the exact same batch. both enviroments are are set up the same (both have win xp and the db it is writing to is local). i took a copy of my onsite db and ran it inhouse and the results were fine (2.30 min to save the batch of 50). this process was running fine onsite up until a month and a half ago. does any one know what might of caused this issue (virus, xp updates, db curput). or does any one have any ideas on what i can try to resolve this issue.

Ok, I have a solution for this but it involves a cursor that will take 3 days to run. Please someone save me from this!
I have a table that contains 700,000 records. I need to update a field in this table with an integer to denote what set of records it belongs to. Basically if you look at the table in order by RowID, everytime the AcctNUM changes, the fieldtofill is incremented. The AcctNum will show up multiple times throughout the table.
Its a long story but the file we started with was junk and this is the only way out.
Here's an example of what needs to happen:
RowID AcctNUM FieldToFill
1 123 1
2 456 2
3 123 3
4 123 3
5 123 3
6 456 4
7 123 5
8 123 5
Right now I have a cursor that is steping through, checking the value of the last row, if its the same it gets that same number, if its different it increments the number and updates the row.
Its been running over two hours and only 25,000 or so records have been updated.
Is the cursor my only way out? I wish I had optimized the cursor a bit, as it making it a fast_forward or something. Would that shave off more time than the two and half hours already invested?
Thanks for you help!
