Trying To Create A New User With Windows Authentication For My Sql Database
Dec 30, 2007
I have a website written in asp.net and the current DATABASE logins do not use windows authenticaton. They are for online use only with a username and password. I'm trying to run my program locally on my machine and access the database locally. This is very frustrating. I'm able to connect to my database, but I can't login to it. Here's my connection string from ym webconfig file:
<add name="sqlConnectionString" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Connect Timeout=8; Initial Catalog=linkexchanger; Data Source=SCOTSQLEXPRESS; "/>
I have the MSSQL engine running and I have connected with the SERVER. My database is in my directory tree of Microsoft SQL Management Studio Express. The server is SCOTSQLEXPRESSI have attempted to add a login to my sql database by right clicking on the security folder to create a new login. My understanding is that under windows, I don't need a uid and pwd in my connection string . Thus I tried removing all of this just as you see above, and I get an error message every single time I try to create a login with windows authentication.
Can someone please explain how I make this work?
Thank you.
Scot

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

Is it possible to create a windows authentication login for each of the computers on my network that will connect to sql server. I am developing a program that will be installed on multiple computers and we do not want to actually have to log in to sql server since we will have to log in to the server before opening the program and we dont want to have 2 logins. I would like to use windows authentication so that I do not have to program multiple connection strings in my program so that if more than 1 person accesses the database at the same time it will not cause a problem with using the same login. Is this possible and if so how would I go about setting up the logins. I am using SQL Server 2005 and XP SP2

I'm almost sure that it's not possible, but I wanted to ask in case that I'm missing something.Is it possible to get the Windows user when someone logins using SQL Server Authentication? I know how to get the hostname, but I can't find how to make the next step.By the way, do sleeping connections affect performance? Would they consume resources such as RAM or network?

I have two SQL Server machines - RPTPROD and DATAPROD.
I wanted to create a linked server from RPTPROD pointing to DATAPROD using Windows Authentication. Â When I tried to create this linked server, I keep getting this error
"Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANNOYMOUS LOGON' (Microsoft SQL Server,Error: 18456)". Â
On the "Security" page, I chose "Be made using the login's current security context". Â I'm sysadmin on both SQL Server machines. Â

Is there a way to connect to database using Windows authentication as a different user than what you've logged in with to your desktop?
For example:
I log on to my desktop as mydomainme. I'm developing queries using Management Studio against a database (on another server) where mydomainme doesn't have access, but the admins have granted access to mydomainJobs1. I have the password for mydomainJobs1, and I'm hoping I can connect to the database using that account without having to log-off my local desktop as mydomainme and then re-login using mydomainJobs1.
The analogy in the file/share-permissions world would be using "net use" from a command prompt:
net use \SomeServer /User:mydomainJobs1 jobs1password
Anything similar for SSMS?

I'm working on an ASP.NET project, and we're attempting to switch from SQL Server authentication to Windows authentication to connect to the database.
It works fine locally when I debug in Visual Studio, but when it hits the web server, I get the error: "Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."
IIS has anonymous access disabled, and Integrated Windows Authentication is checked. The web.config file has:
<authentication mode="Windows"/><identity impersonate="true"/>
The database I'm attempting to access is on a different machine than IIS, and the connection string doesn't contain a username or password, and has "Trusted_Connection=Yes", and "Integrated Security=SSPI".
From what I've been able to find online, I'm guessing the problem is due to IIS and SQL Server residing on different machines, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Any ideas?

I'm trying to connect to a SQL Server 2005 database engine on a local network server. When I am presented with the Connect to Server dialog box, if I select Windows Authentication from the Authentication drop-down, the User name & Password area is grayed out and unusable. The domain user account I'm authenticated with is visible, but grayed out, and the password field is blank and unusable. I'd like to be able to connect as described in help:
User name
Enter the user name to connect with. This option is only available if you have selected to connect using Windows Authentication.
I can connect with either SQL Server or Windows authentication... but with Windows Authentication I'd love to be able to type a specific user name to select with :-)

Hi--
I am building an intRAnet website using windows authentication for website access and SQL Server access ( Trusted_Connection = true ).
In IIS I have these settings:
Allow Anonymous = unchecked (false)
Windows Authentication = Checked (true)
Digest windows = checked (true)
In my Web.Config file:
authentication="windows"
impersonate="true"
allowusers="*"
When I pull up the page these are my credentials:
Security.Principal.Windows: mydomainmyuserid (this is correct what it shows on my page)
Me.User.Identity: mydomainmyuserid (this is correct what it shows on my page)
Threading.currentThread.currentUser mydomainmyuserid (this is correct what it shows on my page)
So the ASP.NET page recognizes it is me and my domain. However, when i click a button to pull some data from a database I get the error message: Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
My data access on SQL Server works fine. The weird thing is when I debug on my machine it pulls data fine. but when I copy the files to the windows 2003 server it doesn't work.
Do i have to do something with delegation?

Would be interested in any advice or comment on the issue we are experiencing with SQL 2005.
In order to test some DTS package migrations, we simply created a DTS package on SQL 2000 (using Export) to copy all database objects from one database to another.
Then we restored the source database on SQL 2005 server, migrated the DTS package, and tried to execute it.
The package migrated 'fine', ran part way, and then failed. Since then we have been unable to connect to the server (Database Engine, or Integration Services) using Windows Authentication. (Error 18456, Sev 16, State 11).
We can connect to the Database Engine using SQL Authentication (but not to Integration Services which only allows Windows Authentication).
We have been able to replicate this consistently - every annoying time we've tried it!
(Reinstalling SQL Server does 'fix' the issue ... until you try a similar package again).

Hello,
(Using win2k, sqlserver2k, framework 1.1)
I have an fairly data-heavy application that uses Windows authentication (Trusted connection/aspnet account) to connect to Sql Server. The site uses IIS basic authentication.
On the dev server everything works fine but when I move to the live server things get strange and it starts to crawl along. (Pages load OK but then it just crawls as it loads the datagrids etc. Sometimes it brings back incomplete/incorrect data )
BUT When I use Sql Authentication to connect to Sql Server and there is no problem at all!
Ok, there is something obviously wrong with the live server (which is identical setup to dev)but I dont know where to start.
Any ideas??

Hi all,
I've got two applications which both have a database on my MS SQL 2000 server. The problem is, one application must use Windows Integrated Authentication (which it is currently using and cannot be changed) whilst the other application which I'm trying to configure must use a SQL password.
Since the server has already been configured to use Windows Integrated Authentication for the existing database and application, how do I configure the other database to use the SQL password?
Thanks.

Hi all,
My work is using a shared application
which accesses a MSSQL 2000 database. To access the application, the
folder on the Windows 2003 Server is shared and users can access the
folder through a shared drive.
For the application to access the
database, it uses an ODBC connection to the MSSQL server which
originally used the SA password.
We have recently switched to using
Windows Integrated Authentication because we believe it offers a
higher level of security. However the only way in which we have been
able to enable this is to add the windows users to the SQL server.
The problem with this is that the
application sets permissions for individual users on what records
they can see within the database. We have found that by adding the
windows users to the SQL Server, they can bypass the permissions the
set by the application by simply using any application that can use
an ODBC connection, such as Enterprise Manager, and see all the
database.
One way around this would be to set up
domains of users with access privileges to the tables which reflect
the permissions set by the application, and configuring a view of the
data so they may only see the records that they have permissions to.
However to do this would require a high administrative cost to ensure
that changes made in the application are reflected in the privileges
of the SQL server.
Instead, is there a way the SQL server
can authenticate that the ODBC connection is coming from the correct
application using Windows Integrated Authentication?
This would allow the applcation to
determine security, and stop users from connecting to the SQL server
using other applications.
Alternatively, can the SQL server,
using Windows Integrated Authentication, also ask the application to
supply a username and password?
Any help with this matter would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
Say, I have configured my SQL to use Mixed Authentication. Now, I have a applicaiton which uses my SQL Server. The application just creates a database in SQL Server and uses the database to store its information.
This application also has a SYSTEM DSN under ODBC through which it accesses the database. For the application to access this database, should I only use SA (as my SQL instance is configured to use Mixed Authentication) or can I use Windows Authentcation too...
If I should only use SA, do we have a documentation which talks about this.
Thanks

Oracle and Teradata are able to capture the windows/client login that connects to their database with a functionnal ID.I've searched around and I don't think MS SQL can do this...I administer SQL 2014 server and also SAS Enterprise guide product. I've created sql server logins for several teams so everyone shares the same sql server login which is used to bind the SAS library to my SQL server database.
However, when looking at activity monitor, I can't drill down to which user is executing a particular query. I only see the SQL login which is share amongs 200 other folks.On the other hand, when they connect from SAS to Oracle or Teradata, I can see the shared login + additionally their windows NT login used to connect to SAS which is awesome....they can't fool me by using a shared/funcionnal ID....i still see who's using that ID...

Hi.
I wonder if it is possible to set forms authentication for report manager but leave report server "as it is". I need to authenticate users from external LDAP and can't use windows authentication for report manager, but I would also like to leave report server open for anonymous users. In that way authenticated administrators could create reports which anonymous users could read.
I tested the Security Extension Sample and got it working when I rewrote the authentication part with my own LDAP authentication.
If I have understood correctly, the report manager is just application inside report server so is it possible to use forms authentication with one application but still leave the report server with Windows authentication?

I am in the process of rolling out a sql server 2005 enterprise install and had a question regarding authentication. We will be providing sql hosting for a number of groups on our campus, many who are not using our campus-wide active directory, though they all have an AD account.
Windows authentication via the management studio appears to use your AD authentication tokens and will not allow them to enter a username/password combo. Is there any way to configure this?
I would like to use our campus AD for obvious reasons but if there is a requirement for passing tokens this isn't going to work right? It's also going to make database mirroring more of a challenge.
Thanks

I have a Java application (APP) that use SQL Server 2008 - 20014. In the SQL server there can be more than my database. During setup of the database the first user (ex:ADM) is created using MS SQL Server Management Studio (SMS). ADM can then launch the APP with proper credentials and connect to the database.ADM can then, in the APP, create new users for the APP and database. After some testing for proper CREATE and GRANTS I use the following code to create a new Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) user for the APP and database: CREATE LOGIN testuser WITH PASSWORD='password', DEFAULT_DATABASE = testdb
USE testdb
CREATE USER testuser FOR LOGIN testuser
GRANT AUTHENTICATE TO testuser WITH GRANT OPTION
GRANT CONNECT TO testuser WITH GRANT OPTION
GRANT ALTER ANY USER TO testuser WITH GRANT OPTION
GRANT CONNECT SQL TO testuser WITH GRANT OPTION
GRANT INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE, EXECUTE, DELETE TO testuser WITH GRANT OPTION
USE master
GRANT CONTROL SERVER TO testuser
USE testdb..When I the use the SMS and look at security the "testuser" is only added to testdb. To test I create a second database "testdb2" --> launch the APP to connect to testdb2 and can login with "testuser".I don't know if I give to much grants or missing one...proper TSQL so new users only have CRUD access to "testdb" and no other database on the SQL server.

In an effort to eliminate the need to code accounts and passwords into the VB Com calling stored procedures, I would like to use Windows Authentication. I have setup the account that the com is running under to have access to the database. How does this change my connection string. Do I just drop the account and password parameters or do I need to let it know somehow that I want to use Windows Authentication?
Thanks,
