Security For Application Role
Sep 4, 2007
We have an application use Approle to read from database. If the client login to windows as administrator or a name that has the administrator rights, the application can get all data. If the client login to windows as a domain user that has limited rights, the application can't get all data.
I run profiler and found that it seems, when application use approle to access a database, the login name is the domain user that log into windows. Is there anybody know what type of right the window login name should have in order to get all data from a database?
Second question, when I log in to window as domainusername( username is not administrator, but has administrator rights). In the profiler, I can see the application use this domainusername access database. However, under sql server login node, I didn't find domainusername. Is this because, the domainusername belongs to buildinadministrator?
Thanks

Hi all, I am trying to connect to the database using application role. But gives an error An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the
server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by

connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating

I am confused . What is considered an application and how SQL would know ?
If I have a web site accessing SQL VIA IIS will SQL Server treat it as an application ? How about MS Excel ?
Also , If I was to use the application of Power builder , using app role , how do control which user can use the app ?
Thanks

Hi all,
This one is a real X FIle, just without Mulder, Scully or the Lone Gunmen!
I have a database, to which access must be restricted via a sole application. So, I have to use an application role. I go in the database and run these statements to add and activate the roles, respectively;
Exec sp_addapprole 'Sirius', 'password'
(The system confirms the role is created.)
Exec sp_setapprole 'Sirius', 'password' 'odbc'
(The system confirms the role is activated.)
Right, now I should not be able to connect using anything but this role, agreed? But here's where things go wrong. I can then successfully connect from another computer by using MS query from Excel, from a login that is not even a member of the Public Role!
I tried again, started and stopped the Server/DTS/Agent services and dropped the old role after each successful login before recreating it. I've checked my syntax exhaustively. I must be doing something wrong, or overlooking something, otherwise MS has a major security problem! (Just hope the Cancer Man doesn't find out!!)
Thanks in advance everyone,
Jaishel.

Hi dear reader
I made an application that uses a Sql Server 2005 Express DataBase.
In the database I made a application role.
When the user logs into my application I run this procedure:
If Not sqlConnectionCR Is Nothing Then
If Not sqlConnectionCR.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
sqlConnectionCR.Open()
SqlConnection.ClearAllPools()
ConsultasSqlCommand = New SqlCommand
ConsultasSqlCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
ConsultasSqlCommand.CommandText = "sp_setapprole 'appRole', 'drowssap"
ConsultasSqlCommand.Connection = sqlConnectionCR
ConsultasSqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
End If
Else....
I understand that this procedure connects to my sqlserver database as my application role
Ok, so far no problems in reading and manipulating data.
The problem comes with the reports in my application. For example: I have a reportviewer with a serverreport but when I try to show the report gives an error about permissions and grant access....
I think that is because the Server Report uses the user account (domain/user) to read the database. No user (besides admin) has access permissions in the database (only admin and application role).
So, my cuestion is: How can I tell Report Server to use the application role to display reports?
Thank you for your time and help.

I know how to create an Application role in SQL server 7. Now how do I connect to the database from VB using that Application Role? I can't find anything about this topic anywhere. Is this the purpose of an Application role or am I way off?
Thanks for the help

Hi,
I'm testing the use of application roles for security. The customer I work for has still a lot of ASP intranet applications running. We're migrating the databases to a SQL Server 2005 server.
I've changed the connection string to a user without any permissions but to log on. After that I use an application role for permission to select different tables and to execute Stored Procedures.
The first queries do execute but after that I get "Permission denied", like I haven't got the application role anymore.
Any ideas?

In SQL Server 2005, you must have the VIEW SERVER STATE permission in order to access sys.syslockinfo (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189497).

Hello,
Can I confirm whether pooling=false in the connection string is still required for SQL Server 2005 (Express Edition)?
Various google searches say pooling has to be turned off for SQL Server 2000, but I was just wondering whether it is still a limitation for SQL Server 2005
Thanks

Hi all,
Our SQL2000 server now allows all member of the Windows 2000 local administrators group log in with SysAdmin role.
I only want couple of people with sysadmin role. What should I do
to prevent that. I was told once that I should delete the
BUILTINAdministrator ID and manually add each window login ID
to SQL server. Am I on the right track?
Thank you for your help.

I've created a database in SQL Express and I have a Windows form attempting to connect to it through SQL Authentication. Connection string:
private string connString = @"Data Source=.sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=SQLTestDatabase;User ID=SearchAppRole; Password=password;";
The role I have added to the database is an Application Role. It has been added to the Database permissions with Grant checked for "Select" and "Authenticate".
If I test this with query analyzer, it returns expected results (if I remove Grant from 'Select', it fails)
sp_setapprole 'SearchAppRole', 'password'
select * from recipe
If I edit my connection string (for testing purposes) to use the sa account, the application can connect and run the Select statement:
private string connString = @"Data Source=.sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=SQLTestDatabase;User ID=sa; Password=sa_password;";
However, I cannot get the application to successfully logon and run the select statement when using the user id and password of the Application Role. I get error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'SearchAppRole'. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj
I can't find much information on Application Role...I just want one basic permission for the application as a whole. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I am attempting to use dbmail from an application that logs in to my database using an application role. Since the application role does not exist outside the database, I created an spSendEmail in the database with "execute as login='mailagent'" in it: I set the database to trustworthy, created a 'mailagent' account and added it to the msdb database with the databasemailuser role rights.
Email works just fine on the server when I use the execute as login='mailagent' to fire off the msdb..sp_send_dbmail. But from the .NET application, I get the error: "Cannot execute as the server principal because the principal 'mailagent' does not exist, this type of principal cannot be impersonated, or you do not have permission." When I run my spSendEmail stored procedure from the calling database, I get the same error.

Hi all.
I have developed a VB6 program which will activate an Application Role to UPDATE and INSERT some tables in SQL Server 2005.
My program will login with a username, say USER and then run with the rights of the Application Role which will SELECT, UPDATE and INSERT the following tables:
1) Table A
2) Table B
3) Table C
The USER login is a restricted user which has only SELECT permission to Table A, B and C.
I encounter a problem in which my program can only UPDATE table B and table C but Table A. I have double checked the settings of Table A, Table B and Table C. Theirs are all same. Fyi, the column which can't be updated is of type "datetime".
Once i grant USER login UPDATE permission to Table A, my program works perfectly in which it can UPDATE all the tables including Table A.
I have tried for almost 2 days but am still clueless. Any ideas?
Thank you so much.

Running VB 2005 Express Edition and Sql Server 2005 Express Edition (SQLX).
Developing a desktop application which calls a local instance of ".sqlexpress".
This app needs to set data base options and add/del various table columns.
When activating the application role, I get the following message:
HariCari SQL Error/s 15422 - Application roles can only be activated at the ad hoc level.
Anyone know what this message means?
I have searched SQL Server Books On-Line and been unable to find a list of Sql err numbers. Either I have missed the obvious or Books On-Line has missed the obvious.

Hi every body
I'm developing a web application and i like to use the sql server 2005 role management features istead of developing a role management package in my program, I can do it on my tables and othe database items but I have no idea about using database access rights in my web pages to permit some one viewing or updating a web form... Is there any system table or system stored procedure showing access rights in my data base? or is there another idea to do this??

On our report server I have several folders. I would like to set up security such that a user doesn't see any folders except the "My Reports" folder (I enabled the My Reports site option) and a few other folders I specify. These are a shared folder and the models folder.
Is there a way to create a system level role that by default can't browse any folders except My Reports and ones I specifically grant? I would also like this person to default to having the item level security role of report builder to create reports off of report models.
The only way I have been able to accomplish this so far was to add the user to the the system users site level role and then go to every undesired folder and delete the item level role assignments for the user. It seems odd for the user to have access to every folder then to remove permissions from each folder. Should I create a role with no tasks and then selectively add in the permissions to the desired folders?
I did try creating a new system level role that only had the Execute Report Definitions task assigned and assigned the user exclusively to this role but they could still see all of the folders and their My Reports folder. When I created a new folder the user had been defaulted to item level roles of Browser and Report Builder. I suspect these defaults are what caused the new folder to be visible as soon as I created the folder.
I searched the forum for my question so hopefully I am not causing a re-answer of this question.
Thanks in advance,
Sean

I am attempting to set up a new user that has only the ability to run reports in the report manager.
I have created a new ActiveDirectory entry for DOMAINReportUser. I have a created a new folder with the reports, and have set this user as a Browser role on this directory, and all reports in the directory.
I have made it throught the security maze to gain access to these reports as this user, but I cannot dynamically run the reports. As the BUILTINAdministrator (content manager), I get a grayed background on the parameters and can run the reports. As this DOMAINReportUser, I get what looks like HTML parameter items, and cannot run a dynamic report. Even if I change the role of this user to Content Manager, I still cannot run a dynamic report.
How do you properly set up a user to be able to dynamically run, and only run, a report in Report Manager, and have this user only see reports in a single folder?
I have been fighting the security issues of creating a RS site and properly setting up access, and have yet to find a single site or person explaining the entire process in any coherant method.

Hi everybody.
I created an application role in a database (DB1) and gave it all the rights on a view in DB1 which refers to a table located in another db (DB2). I also gave the rights to the app role on a table of DB1
I tried to use this app. role through the sp_setapprole launched by a user (server principal?) which is SQL Server administrator (and local administrator (Win 2003 Server)).
With the following query
SELECT USER_NAME()
I see that the approle is being used.
Than, if I query the table on DB1 everything works, but if I query the view, referring a table in db2 I get following error:
The server principal "NameOfServerPrincipal" is not able to access the database "DB2" under the current security context.
What should I do to make it work?
The table in DB2 has the same schema of the view in DB1 which refers to it.
I put the DB1 TrustWorthy and both the database have the db_chaining option activated.
Any idea on how to solve the problem would be widely appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Hi All,
Is there any limitation for setting password to an approle (like it should be 8 character long, should not start with numbers) ?
If so, what are those limitations ?
Does the same is applicable for sp_setapprole which uses the same password ?
please confirm, for both SQL Server 2000 and 2005 versions.
thanks in advance,
Regards,

There is a STIG Check that does not allow grant "Connect SQL" directly to any logins except SQL System and the SA account. My way of resolving this is to do the following:
Step One:
We create a Server Role called SQL_APPLICATIONS – for the application accounts
We create a Server Role called SQL_DBA – for the DBA accounts
and give them direct “Connect SQL’ server permissions. MAKE THE ROLE OWNER = sysadmin (group)
Note: I think that creating a Server Role is only available starting with SQL Server 2012, but not sure. I am using SQL 2012
Step two:
I add the members (Logins - SQL & Windows) – in this case any application accounts and DBA accounts to the new roles respectively
Step three:
I remove the “Connect SQL” Permission from each Login
The first problem i noticed is that the maintenance plans failed with "The owner domainusername of job db_backup does not have server access.I am currently using a test system and wondered If you think I will have trouble with the application connecting when I try and implement on the production systems.

Hi All,
I have a report running and I am attempting to assign role based security. I added a group to the site level security. The group I added contains child groups. It doesn't seem that report server is looking into the child groups to see if the logged in user is a member of the child group. Is there anyway to get this to work instead of adding all the groups directly? I suspect that report server is using cominterop and cominterop is not traversing the directory tree?
Thanks,
Darren

From Books Online Help:
In the role-based security model that is implemented for Reporting Services, users who are assigned to the Content Manager role can create and edit reports in Report Builder. Local administrators are automatically assigned to this role.
If you want other users to be able to work with a Report Builder report, you must create a role assignment for them that includes the default role "Report Consumer." Alternatively, you can create a custom role definition. As long as the customized role includes the "Consume reports" task, users who are assigned to that role will have sufficient permission to create and modify reports using Report Builder
---------
However, when I try to give a contact those rights, the "Report Builder" link still does not show up for my users. Is there any other place where I can examine the security rights to see why the Report Builder permission is not granted to my users?

I am setting up some security requirements - the requirement is that team leaders get to view all teams within their division. What I would like it to do when they log onto their dashboard/ssrs report is that it defaults to the team leaders default team (they can still select from other teams if they require).If I can avoid I don't really want another parameter in the report for this.
In my cube I have an attribute under the people dimension (where teams and division also reside) called Fee_Earner_Effective_Flag and where this is set to Y this is their current team.
Under the Role properties security under the Fee_Earner_Effective_Flag attribute I have set the Default member to
[People Primary FeeEarner].[Fee_Earner_Effective_Flag].[Fee Earner Effective Flag].&[Y]
When I then logon as the user and try to access the cube I get the following
Errors in the metadata manager. The '[People Primary Feeearner].[Fee_Earner_Effective_Flag].[Y]' security default member from the '{' attribute returns a result from a different hierarchy.
I have also tried setting the default member in the cube solution and then processing but then the cube failed.

Hi,
I have a folder structure of reports like this
Home
|
/
A B
Now, suppose I have created this folder, A first and user, say A_User is given permission to view this folder. I am expecting this user to browse from 'Home' to A folder but as you know to browse folder 'Home' he must also be added to 'Home' folder . So I add him to 'Home' now.
The problem comes when I add new folder B, for user B_User. The moment I add this folder A_User is also added to folder B because of the inheritance of users to child folders.
So user A is able to see both A and B folder....and thats my problem, he is supposed to only A folder and not B
Is there any way to disable this inheritance feature ??
I tried deleting A_User from B with a script using "InheritParentSecurity" method of ReportingService but it says that it can not delete inherited users.
How can I fix the problem ? without need to manually delete users from folders ??/
thanks

I have a business requirement to build a tabular data model, where I need to mask information of other Agents from a given Agent but I still need to show the overall sales of the given product.
For eg: IF an Agent is in APAC region he should see APAC region sales and also should be able see the sales of the same product in other region without knowing region specific break down.
For Agent "Tom" in APAC region, the numbers will look like this
APAC_Sales = 100,000
Other_Sales = 500,000
And if "John" is in NA region, then the number will look like this for him
NA_Sales = 200,000
Other_Sales = 400,000
I wanted to create "Roles" based on the Region, so all the agents belong to "APAC" region will have same view as Tom and "NA" region agents will have John's view.

My company has a Windows 2008 R2 server which is running SQL Server v11.0.5058. This server was previously running SQL Server 2008 and was recently upgraded. Since the upgrade I have noticed that when I connect to this server using SSMS and Windows authentication it seems as though I have a limited user context as I cannot see SQL Agent in the server tree at all and underneath the server security > logins folder I can only see the sa and SQL Server Windows service accounts (there are many more).
If I connect to the server using SSMS and the sa credential then I can see everything I expect to be able to see as a sysadmin.
I tried connecting as sa, then deleting my Windows AD account from the security > logins folder and reading my Windows AD account with the sysadmin role however this yielded the same result, when I connect using Windows authentication I still appear to be in a limited user context.
We have several other SQL 2008 / 2012 servers within our organization and all of them appear to be working fine / none of them exhibit this problem.
