Security Login/Domain Problems
Jun 9, 2000
I have a server that belongs to domain 'a'. The server is neither a PDC or BDC.
This server has SQL Server 7 installed. I wanted security set up so the
Domain Administrator could select/update rows in the database and administer
the database as well as the local administrator of the Sql Server. From a
workstation the domain administrator can create tables but cannot insert rows.
From the Server in question the domain administrator can create tables and
insert rows. Why does it make a different what box the domain adminstator logs on to?

Is SQL Server sensitive to Domain group name? Like "Domain Admin"?
I have user that belong to "myDomainDomain Admin" group. Group is in SQL as sysadmin but user cannot login using domain credentials. When I move that user to a different domain group which that group is in SQL again as sysadmin my user is able to login.
Environment: SQL 2008 Standard Edition.

we recently migrated from our in-house domain to the Enterprise domain. Everything went smooth except for the fact that I can no longer accept my dBs using my SA or my domain admin account. There is only 1 account I can get into the management studio with but it has no admin privileges, so I can't make any password changes or add accounts. I don't have a test environment so kind of hesitant to experiment with our production system.

I have a server that has 20 databases . I have tested with few users with different level of access and all of them were able to connect to the server and also see, select, update , delete from a particular database which is kind of weird because they do not have a user login associated or mapped to that database. I checked and no user is part of any group in AD that would give them permission to connect . I need a query that would find the permission path of a user. I already queried with xp_logininfo but I am not getting any thing.

We've encountered a problem on one of our SQL servers running integrated security where MS Security Manager errors out with "An error occured executing sp_addlogin using Domain_nameusername - " is not a valid name since itbegins with an invalid character." We think it is because the domain has the underscore character in it name. Can anyone confirm or point to other possible configuration issues?

I am trying to connect as follows:
Server: Windows 2003, SQL 2005, on a domain
Client: Windows 2008 Beta, not on any domain
I created an account with the same user name as the domain user on the client machine. And then I logged in as that user and went to Manage Network Password. I entered the correct domain credentials. Verified that this worked for file shares. However, SQL does not appear to be recognizing this and it tells me:
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
I have verified that this domain account is working properly with SQL when the client is also on the domain.
How can I get this Windows authentication scenario to work where the client is not on the domain and the SQL server is on the domain?

I doing some testing with security and ran into the following problem.I want to log into the SQL server (from Query Analyzer) using mydomain account. To allow this, I went into Logins section inEnterprise Manager and added my user account as a Windows User.If I set Analyzer to use Windows authentication I am to log in with noproblems. But if it is set to SQL Server authentication and I type inmy username (in the format domainusername or username@domain) andpassword I get a login error.Is there a way to login in to SQL using domain account without usingwindows authentication?Thanks,Jason

Im developing a ASP.NET website. Recently we were required to move the databse from localhost to another server. I'm able to connect to the other server database from SQL 2005 management studio with windows authentication. However when I try to do it in ASP.NET it says error: login failed for domain/server$. I have declared the connection string in web.config file.

This is a two part question. We are currently using the ODBC method SQLConnect to connect to an existing DSN:
m_retcode = SQLConnect(
m_hDbc,
(SQLTCHAR*)datasource,
(SWORD)_tcslen(datasource),
(SQLTCHAR*)username,
(SWORD)_tcslen(username),
(SQLTCHAR*)password,
(SWORD)_tcslen(password) );
using a SQL user created for that purpose (and yes the password is encrypted elsewhere). I have had a request to be able to use a Windows domain account in the same setting however it does not appear that i can simply enter either "domainusername" or "username" (SQL Server and the login machine are in the same domain.
Is it possible to accomplish this with this function or should I use a different routine to obtain a connection? How would I accomplish this if I instead wanted to use integrated login?
The "client" is running Windows XP, 2000, 2003, or Vista (Business). The database server is running SQL 200 or 2005 on Windows 2003 Server (or possibly Windows 2000 Server).
Hope this description is not too murky.
Cheers,
Lyman Hurd

Folks,
I have read the posts concerning login failures for the ASPNET user. I have a slightly different problem, as you can see from the title of this post.
My environment is a private domain that has two machines:
1) Windows 2000 server on which SQL Server is running. Let's call it FOO_SERVER.
2) Windows XP Professional on which I am running my IIS and .NET development environment. Let's call it FOO_WORK.
3) Let's call the domain, FOO_DOMAIN.
The user, ASPNET, is not a domain user, but a local user, so I do not know how to establish it as a valid login for SQL Server. But this is beside the point, anyway, as the error I am getting has nothing to do with the ASPNET user. It appears that a different username is being used to access SQL Server.
My connection string is:
"server=FOO_SERVER;database=pubs;Trusted_Connection=yes"
The error I receive is:
"Login failed for user FOO_DOMAINFOO_WORK$"
I am using the default settings in machine.config. Specifically <processModel> userName="machine" password="AutoGenerate" </processModel>
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
-Joel

The title says it all. Given that I have created a login for a domain group, and a database user for that login. What I want to do is retrieving the domain username for the active user. USER_NAME retrieves the database username, suser_name returns (of course) NULL as this is not a sql user.
The goal is to use domain group logins, while still allowing for logging what user performed which action.

I'm trying to create a login in the default domain. I know I can pullthis information from xp_loginconfig, but don't see how I can use it inthe context of sp_grantlogin.For example, pull the domain the user is currently logged in on andinsert it into the sp_grantlogin script. Has anyone ever done this inthe past?

I have setup a SQL 2014 server with mixed authentication. Below is sequence.
1. Created a server. Added server to a domain & logged out.
2. RDP to the server using a local account. Installed SQL 2014. Kept the services to run using default NT Authority accounts during initial setup. SQL was installed in mixed mode (SQL & windows authentication). a specific 'sa' pwd was set.
3. After initial setup, I changed all SQL services Logon account to be respective domain accounts. Made sure all services restarted, up & running.
Now, for the same 'sa' SQL login account -
--> if I RDP to the server using local system admin & connect to SQL studio with 'sa' (SQL authentication) - it works.
but --> if I RDP to the server using my domain account (which is already an admin on SQL & windows), but connect SQL studio with the Same 'sa' (SQL authentication) - it fails & gives - unable to login 'sa'... ; standard error code : 18456.
Question : How can be the same 'sa' login, is acting different based on with what user context I RDP to the server ?

In an attempt to improve security for our web server/db server setup, we have a SQL Server 2005 server set for Windows authentication only and a web server (both behind a firewall together on a single local domain).
The web server is using IIS7, and the default NetworkService account to run the ASP.NET processes.
I've given the NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE account access to the database in question.
The SQL authentication fails, but the account failing is NOT the NetworkService account, but the <DOMAIN><COMPUTER>$ account.
Note that if I use identity impersonation with a specific domain account, I can get the app to work. However, I do NOT want to use impersonation, I want the default NetworkService account to work.
Does anyone know why IIS, which is supposed to be using NetworkService, is instead using the <DOMAIN><COMPUTER>$ account to connect to SQL, which is then failing?

I'm attempting to write a script that I can execute accross 30 servers that will create a domain login and subsequently grant access to said account on all databases per server. The only problem that I'm running into is trying to dymanically create the login. Example source is below.
declare @sql varchar(1000)
declare @loginname varchar(50)
select @loginname = 'DOMAINaccountname'
set @sql = 'if not exists (select * from master.dbo.syslogins where name = N' + char(39) + 'DOMAINaccountname' + char(39) + ')' + char(10) + char(13)
set @sql = @sql + 'begin ' + char(10) + char(13)
set @sql = @sql + char(9) + 'exec master.dbo.sp_grantlogin ' + quotename(@loginname)
print @sql
exec (@sql)
Here is the generated output and the error. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
if not exists (select * from master.dbo.syslogins where name = N'DOMAINaccountname')
begin
exec master.dbo.sp_grantlogin [DOMAINaccountname]
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near 'DOMAINaccountname'.

I have a SQL 2005 SP2 fail-over cluster with several named instances. It has been running for sometime with no problems. Recently I had to add a new windows group to a named instance. From Management Studio I brought up the "Login - new " gui hit search to find the group in out doamin and got the following error mesage:
The program cannot open the required dialog box because it cannot determine whether the computer named "<instance_name>" is joined to a domain.
The id I am using is a domain authenticated account and I used this same proceedure to add windows groups in the past. If I ignore the message and type in the group as domaingroup_name I can still add the group and users of that group can log into the instance. The other named instances have the same probelm. There are no errors in the event log or SQL's log. Any ideas on how to get the domain search back would be appriciated.

I'm having 2 Dummy Users.
The one i created i direct login on the server and access to 2 databases.
The second one i've placed in a AD users group.
That group has a login and is also mapped to the 2 databases.
Sql server is running with on a AD-users, not localsystem.
Why can DummyOne work fine, and DummyTwo (the grouped one) can login but access none of the databases.
What have I missed ?

I had created 2 Sql server instance in 2 servers created using VMware. From the primary server I log shipped the required databases into the secondary. Both the servers were in the same domain whose active directory was also in another server in the same virtual lab environment. My question can we have the primary sql server in one domain and the secondary sql server to which the logs are shipped in another domain by including a router also between the 2 networks for connectivity?

Hey Everyone,
I am testing restoring databases on another SQL 2005 server in out environment using HP data protector 5.5 and its great. However, I notice that the security login accounts do not get restored. If this is the case how do I go about getting accounts restored? Also, are there any other options?
Cheers,

Hello,
We're having a bit of a problem getting Integrated Security to work with a .Net 2.0 application and SQL 2005. While we're tweaking permissions on the SQL-side, we came across an account "Application Login" and wondered what its role is. First, our problem:
Currently, the users in the AD group get a connection error. This group is defined as follows at the instance level:
role: public
user mapping: to the database without any default schema
securables: none
status: grant and enabled
At the database security level:
general: none
securables: execute on all (100+) stored procedures
And we gave them "Execute" on the database itself.
A little background: we had detached and copied this database from one server to another. So we suspect that the Application Login may have been modified/corrupted, even though it appears to be identical between the original and the copied databases. So we redefined it on the copied DB to match the original.
Another group, which is defined as dbo on the database, has no problem at all connecting and running the application.
The Application Login has Execute permissions on all stored procedures and Delete, Insert, Select, Update, and View Definition on the ChangeLog table. It also has db_DataReader, db_DataWriter, and db_ddlAdmin roles associated with it.
Is there another SQL login required for initial connection to the database even though Integrated Security=SSPI is used in the connection string?
Does anyone see where we may be missing a security setting for the non-dbo user group to connect to the database?
Thanks very much for any suggestions, ideas ....
Cheers,
Tess

I have to give three users read access to a database. My manager told me to map them to a User called "zxDatabase.Read.ug". I scripted the User and got this...
CREATE
USER[zxDatabase.Read.ug]
FORLOGIN[zxDatabase.Read.ug]
I don't see a Login at the server level named zxDatabase.Read.ug, so this is confusing. Where is this login in SSMS?
How do I map my three users to user zxDatabase.Read.ug. Or am I not understanding correctly? Do I just add there windows login to the database as Users and configure them the same as zxDatabase.Read.ug

Any idea why I cannot connect to a SQL Server database using SqlConnection and no Integrated security? I get a "Login failed for user 'XXXX'" error. The user ID and password I am using are all correct and have the required access (tested several times from different places).The connection string I am using is:
"Server=XXXXX;Database=XXXXX;Trusted_Connection=fal se;User ID=XXXX;Password=XXXXX"
I have also tried replacing "Server" by "Data source", "Database" by "Initial catalog", "Trusted_Connection" by "Integrated security", "User ID" by "UID" and "Password" by "PWD".Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

I 'm a newbie to SQL Server, been using Access as a database for my web app. and have decided I need the power of SQL Server. Using VWD Express, I am able to generate a SQL database with my tables and stored procedures quite easily as well as access the database from my asp.net code. This works fine on my devlopment machine. But now I want to deploy on my remote server and the webhost says they can attach my SQL database but they need my SQL login info. So I have a couple of questions:
1. Does the SQL database I create in VWD express only work in Integrated Security mode or can I assign a username & password to the .mdf file so I can upload to my remote host to work in a shared SQL environment?
2. Or am I confused and the .mdf file is just a data file which can be attached to any SQL account and the SQL login info only pertains to the instance of SQL Server that I'm trying to connect to?
3. My web host mainly uses SQL Server 2000. Will a simple database created in SQL Server 2005 Express work on an instance of SQL Server 2000?
If I can just figure these simple items out, I will be ecstatic!

Currently studying for 70-229.I'm trying to understand how security for users is managed in SQLServer. I've been using SQL Server for a few years now, but withoutinvestigating the bits that "just work".So, here's the scenario. This is more or less how I create all myapplications (which these days are all ASP.NET).I have a database called "TESTDB" (original, huh?)Now, I want to create a method for users to access this database, so Iopen EM, locate and expand the node for the server containing thedatabase, and open the "Security" node. Click on the "Logins" leaf,and in the pane right-click and select "New Login.."On the "General" tab I enter "TESTDBLOGIN" as the Name.Select "SQL Server Authentication", and put in a password.In the drop-down list of databases select "TESTDBLOGIN"Ignoring the "Server Roles" tab, I go to the "Database Access" tab andscroll down until I can see the "TESTDB" database. Check the "Permit"checkbox, and lo!, the "Database Roles for TESTDB" list is populated,with "public" already ticked. I check the "db_owner" box, and press"OK". It asks me to confirm the password, and once that's done there'sa new login called TESTDBLOGIN. What's more in "Users" leaf in the"TESTDB" database node there's a new user called "TESTDBLOGIN".All well and good. I can now create a connection using this login anddo more or less what I want in the TESTDB database.But.If I click the "Users" leaf in the "TESTDB" node, there are two users -"dbo" and "TESTDBLOGIN". If I right-click the "TESTDBLOGIN" user, Ican see that it has Database Role Memberships for the "public" and the"db_owner" roles. But if I examine the permissions on these two roles(by selecting the row, and then pressing the "Permissions" button) Ifind that there are permissions set for EITHER role - all the checkboxes are blank!So, how is it that I can do SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT and DELETEoperations via this login/user?Sorry it all took so long - I just wanted to get it right.ThanksEdward--The reading group's reading group:http://www.bookgroup.org.uk
