I overwrote rsreportserver.config with one from a different installation and that killed my RS because of the encryption key inside that file. Is there any way to generate that file for current install or do I have to reinstall the whole thing now?
Thanks
I am unable to initialize the reportserver: gettting the folowing error:
is it possible to reinitialize the server:

Please help thank you very much for the information.
I have corrected the problem with named pipes versus TCP/IP but I have found a reference to lrustats stating that page flushes should be less than 100 and free avg less than 10 but my numbers are extremely high. One of the things I noticed upon assuming this job was that many settings were off a bit bit LogLRU buffers were never set.This setting was introduced with service pack 2 with a readme.txt on how to configure. All my references and the ones that I have skimmed through in bookstores do not contain this configuration setting.
Microsoft no longer offers SP2 for download so that I could get the readme.txt. If any of you have this file or service pack laying around, please email it to me so that I can configure. It is suppose to take care of some bufwait errors. I even download the French version to see if it was there and maybe I could find someone with a french background but it did not contain the file. It was in last years Technet CD but my company tossed it when they got the new one. Can anyone help?
hi, here is the situation, my system has the following specks
hard drive = 45GB
memory = 1152 mb
Opsystem = win NT 4.0
application on the NT is ftp server and SQL server 6.5
I am having a tough time retrieving a simple query from a 11 million records.some of the feed back from the newsgroup is that I do not have enought memory. Is there a formula to use to figure out how much memory should allocate to the sql server? what if I allocated too much memory, does that affect the sql performance in a negative way?
Please help......

Hi,
I got an issue with encrypt and decrypt. I encrypted a data, say 'ok', then I decrypt the encrypted data, but what I got is not 'ok'. but if I encrypt a column, then after decryption, those data asr same with the original data in that column.
In my case,
...
create table mytable ( column Password varbinay(128) )
...
create symmetric key with certificate
...
OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY Sym_Key_01
DECRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE Cert;
UPDATE mytable
SET Password = EncryptByKey(Key_GUID('Password_01'),'ok')
select CONVERT(nvarchar, DecryptByKey(Password)) AS "Decrypted Password" from mytable
here, I didn't get the value 'ok' but a another wierd word (like a chinese word).
does someone know the reason?
Thanks,
Jone
Hi At the moment i don't remember but some times back i found an stored procedure that can DECRYPTall ENCRYPTED objects in sqlServer2000 ( i will try to put URL here) such as stored procedures,Triggers and even View(s). Now i'm writing a very confidential StoredProcedure and i don't want to be hack in this way.Is teher any way to prevent this.Has this Bug been fixed by any of Service Packs.?
Thanks in advance.Kind Regards.
I need to start encrypting several fields in a database and have been doing some testing with a test database first. I've run into problems when attempting to restore the database on either the same server (but different database) or to a separate server.
First, here's how i created the symmetric key and encrypted data in the original database:
create master key
encryption by password = 'testAppleA3';
create certificate test
with subject = 'test certificate',
EXPIRY_DATE = '1/1/2010';
create symmetric key sk_Test
with algorithm = triple_des
encryption by certificate test;
open symmetric key sk_Test decryption by certificate test;
insert into employees values (101,'Jane Doe',encryptbykey(key_guid('sk_Test'),'$200000'));
insert into employees values(102,'Bob Jones',encryptbykey(key_guid('sk_Test'),'$500000'));
select * from employees
--delete from employees
select id,name,cast(decryptbykey(salary) as varchar(10)) as salary from employees
close all symmetric keys
Next I backup up this test database and restore it to a new database on a different server (same issue if restore to different database but on same server).
Then if i attempt to open the key in the new database and decrypt:
open symmetric key sk_Test decryption by certificate test;
I get the error: An error occurred during decryption.
Ok, well not unexpected, so reading the forums, i try doing the below first in the new database:
ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY
Then I try opening the key again and get the error again:
An error occurred during decryption.
So then it occurs to me, maybe i need to drop and recreate it so i do
drop symmetric key sk_test
then
create symmetric key sk_Test
with algorithm = triple_des
encryption by certificate test;
and then try to open it.
Same error!
So then i decide, let's drop everything, the master key, the certificate and then symmetric key:
drop symmetric key sk_test
drop certificate test
drop master key
Then recreate the master key:
create master key
encryption by password = 'testAppleA3';
Restore the certificate from a backup i had made to a file:
CREATE CERTIFICATE test
FROM FILE = 'c:storedcertsencryptiontestcert'
Recreate the symmetric key again:
create symmetric key sk_Test
with algorithm = triple_des
encryption by certificate test;
And now open the key only to get the error:
Cannot decrypt or encrypt using the specified certificate, either because it has no private key or because the password provided for the private key is incorrect.
So what am I doing wrong here? In this scenario I would appear to have lost all access to decrypt the data in the database despite restoring from a backup which restored the symmetric key and certificate and i obviously know the password for the master key.
I also tried running the command
ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY
again but this does not resolve the issue.
Thx.

I have just finished installing SQL 2005 Ent Edition on Win 2000 Adv Server, SQL2005 SP2, and SP2 Hotfix KB934458. After the installation, I could see and configure all services via SQL Configuration Manager and SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tools. This worked for a couple of days and now both configuration tools no longer detect SQL2005 components. SQL Server Surface Area Configuration issued an error that said "No SQL Server 2005 components were found on specified computer. Either no components are installed, or you are not an administrator on this computer. (SQLAC)". SQL Configuration Manager did not list any installed services. I don€™t know what caused this.

Hi --I was wondering if this is a bug when I add new data in my table SSIS Confiurations and give wizard a new Configuration filter the package configuration wizard can not see the new values --the old values from the previous configuration are still showing---is there any known workaround or forced refresh I can do
thanks in advance Dave
Background:
SQL Package Configurations are most important because they provide the possibility of a central configuration store for your entire enterprise!!!!!!!! and is in my mind the only way to go

[ConfiguredValueType] [nvarchar](20) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
It seems to me, that the best way is to have one Environment Varible containing the name of the SQL Server, so that you can look up the configuration in the SSIS Configuration Table when you run the package.
Is this the preferable way of doing it ? I would like to hear some positive/negative comment of why chosing a configuration type instead of another.
It seems to me that putting all of the configuration in the Environment variable is harder work but most secure (server breakdown vs table corruption/database error...)

Hi all,
I may have a requirement to send data from a SQL Server at site A to an Oracle server at site B. These sites have no network connection between them, and the current suggestion is to use ftp, but the transfer (or username and password) will not be encrypted.
If I create a DTS package transferring data from site A, will that transfer be encrypted?
If not, is there an option with SQL Server DTS to ensure that the data is sent in an encrypted form?
Thanks in advance.

In a Multi Server Job under SQL Server Agent (MSX), we have a series ofsteps like:DTSRun /~Z0x8E8635E6BBA...The ~Z means it's an encrypted hexidecimal string. The person who createdthis step is no longer accessible, and the string can't be triviallydecrypted, so I don't know what this runs.Someone once mentioned that I could go to Query Analyzer, run it, andwatch the execution plan. However, if I start the job, the executionplan simply walks through the steps required to find the job, and doesn'tgo into the details of the job. I don't know how to run the DTSRuncommand directly within Query Analyzer.Is there a way I can use the execution plan to determine what package thisDTSRun line is executing? Please give me the appropriate command orcommands.-Adam

Hi All,
I have mirroring set up in a test environment and it works great however I need to know/understand how the endpoints are encrypted. I have them set to use the AES algorithm; however I can not tell from BOL what keys they are using. I know the service master key is the root encryption key and endpoints sit at the server level (same level as service masterkey) but I am not sure if the endpoints use it to perform the encryption or not; do they and if not what do they use?
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
I have a simple .NET page that asks the user to create a new account. One of the fields on that page is 'Password'. I store the password in a SQL 2000 Database. However, it appears in the database as clear-text.
Is there a way to encrypt this so it doesn't appear as clear-text in the DB?
Thanks!

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

View 7 Replies View RelatedHey yall
I ran into something interesting today and was wondering how one would do this. I have some 3rd party stored procs and one was kicking out a truncate error so I took it upon myself to investigate the stored proc that was kicking out this error. So when I tried viewing the sp, I received an error:*****Encrypted object is not transferable, and script could not be generated.***** and then it brings up a blank editing screen.
First I believe this was a custom error message as it just doesnt seem like the way SQL Server would have presented it.
So how would someone prohibit viewing of a stored proc like this?
Thanks
I Forgot for my longtime used home expense update application password which has backend sql expressedition database.
i was used the application before 3 years, unfortunately i stopped updating my home expendature to the software.and now i require to login the application but i dont how reset the password in db, i have open database include tables of users profile. and password, but its encrypted.
I read a previous post that Raul responded to on the format of the data prefixing Symmetric key encrypted columns, is it possible to reproduce these from a client? Given I know the key name, i can pull back the first 16 for the GUID, for now 01000000 will work for the version, the IV can be created or read, but the last 8 bytes were marked as 'header', can I get an explanation on what this is or if it is required?
The purpose is in being able to do SQL Server compatible encryption on the client side, given a shared certificate for the public password. I certainly can do this with a CLR function and use my own encryption, but comparably it is dog slow, the built in SQL functions will encrypt/decrypt 100k rows in about 20 seconds or less on my test box, where as the CLR function takes 5.5 minutes. This performance difference is too huge to ignore.
I would like to be able to generate a SQL Server compatible prefix for a Symmetric keyed column or find a way to improve the CLR function performance of an AES_256 (rijndael) up to something at least remotely close to the built in functions.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have a DB in which I encrypt a few columns in a table. I am using a Symmetric key to encrypt and decrypt the data. When I take a back up of this DB and restore on another server ... my decryption doesn't work. I have dropped the master key and recreated it with same password and that didn't help either.
What are the rules to follow when we restore a db on a different server that has encrypted data ?? Thanks.
We are using SQL Server 2005
A client of ours did a back up and restore of a database which we have created a db master key as well as asymmetric, symmetric keys and certificates.
After the restore we issue:
OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'ourpwd'
go
ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY
go
We get the following error:
Msg 15313, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The key is not encrypted using the specified decryptor.
Msg 15581, Level 16, State 3, Line 2
Please create a master key in the database or open the master key in the session before performing this operation.
I had the client issue the Open Master Key statement in the prod DB and got the same MSG 15313 error. But, the encryption functions still work on their DB.
I am not able to reproduce the errors in house on our own DB's.
What does the error:
Msg 15313, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The key is not encrypted using the specified decryptor.
Indicate?
Have they been using the wrong password to try to open the key?
I have been searching all morning and can not find any good documentation regarding the error.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi guys...
My question....
I built an vb.net app that set some parameters and runs a store proc. Besides, the vb.net app creates an user with admin rights, his credentials: username and password are stored in DB.
I thouth to encrypt password with hash + salt method.
The problem....
Hashing password means that they are not decrypted ...only compared ..and here the problem....I would like to reuse this password to be used in the addlinked server store proc and other sql statement.
How can I Manage encrypted password to be used later...
thank for any suggestion....
I am trying to lookup a dialog from conversation_endpoints, however if a dialog was created with the encryption setting to ON and thereis no master Key in the database then the record put in the conversation_endpoints is the same as one without encryption.
How can I distinguish between the one requested with no ecryption and requested with encryption but setup with none due to the lack of a key?
