Verifying Authentication
Nov 14, 2005Hi guys,
View 4 RepliesHi guys,
View 4 RepliesDoes anyone have a routine that can verify URL's in a database table. I have a table with several thousand website addresses and I would like a way to check and see which ones resolve and which return Page Not Found error. I quess my question is how do you interrogate a URL and what do you look for coming back? Novitiate for many I am sure but not for me.
Thank you.
Hey Folks...
Very new to SQL Server. I've inherited numorous SQL Servers and wanted to know how I can tell if a backup is scheduled and how I can tell if it completed successfully? Thanks in advance....

How do i do that... in sch lab, the lecturer said: Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Try SqlDataSource2.SelectParameters("Title").DefaultValue = txtProductTitle.Text GridView1.DataBind() If GridView1.Rows.Count > 0 Then //if no repeated Label1.Text = "Existing Record Found. Please enter another Software." Else 'SqlDataSource1.Insert() 'Label1.Text = txtProductTitle.Text & " successfully added to the database." End If Catch ex As Exception Label1.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red Label1.Text = "An error occured!" & ControlChars.NewLine & ControlChars.NewLine & _ ex.Message.ToString() End Try End Sub but its not working for me... the GridView1.Rows.Count is always 0, if there is a repeat, it should be > 0
View 4 Replies View RelatedOK, so I'm working on a project that requires the dynamic generation of SQL statements. Now in Visual Studio .NET I'm sure many of you have used that wonderful visual database tool that allows you to magically "verify sql syntax" at the click of a button. It takes a query that looks like this:
"SELECT A.AFFID, A.UserName, A.Pass, A.FirstName, A.LastName, A.Company, A.Street, A.City, A.State, A.ZIP, A.Country, A.phone, P.EMail, A.RecieveEMail, A.SSN, A.JoinDate, A.AffType, P.ProductId, P.BuyerId FROM Affiliates A, Purchases P WHERE (ProductId > 0) ORDER BY 1"
and transforms it into something that looks like this:
"SELECT A.AFFID, A.UserName, A.Pass, A.FirstName, A.LastName, A.Company, A.Street, A.City, A.State, A.ZIP, A.Country, A.phone, P.Email, A.RecieveEMail, A.SSN, A.JoinDate, A.AffType, P.ProductID, P.BuyerID
FROM Affiliates A CROSS JOIN Purchases P
WHERE (P.ProductID > 0)
ORDER BY A.AFFID"
My question is: is there anything in the .NET platform that would allow me to achieve the same kind of result programatically (i.e. transform standard sql to tsql syntax and verify the syntax of the query at run time)?
Any help would be appreciated! Cheers.
To: All,
Hi, well thanks for reading this thread. Anyway I got a problem where i can't accurately verify whether a user had successfully login to my application.
I got a database to store the user name and password. So whenever a user login, i would use a while loop to read all the user name and password, and an if statement to verify whether the user's name and password matches to the ones stored in the database. This method doesn't work when there are multiple records in my database, because the if statement would compare the user given name and password with all the user name and password in the database. Hence resulting a mismatch.
Well I really hope that you understand what my problem is, really need help with this problem as I'm really clueless. Can somebody please help me, please teach me how to rectify this problem?
Well i think the core problem would be to compare the user name and password with the records in the database one at a time, and once it is found, stop comparing and allow user to enter site.
Yup I think that's all, sorry for the lengthy thread. Anyway thanks a million and have a nice day.

How do I tell what SQL licensing option (processor, device CALS or user CALS) was taken when the server was installed? I have taken over a SQL 2005 server and I would like to check how many CALS (if any) it is licensed for.

How can a tell if a tak completed succesfully from a stored procedure?
I have a task which is executed from a stored procedure. The sp_runtask only returns whether the task started successfully. How can I tell if it completed successfully?

Is there a way that SQL can automatically look at each users'connection and make sure it is still connected through the third partyapplication? The problem is that when a connection to this applicationis not terminated properly, the SQL server is not notified of thedisconnect and the user cannot log back into the application until allthe processes are completed and the original session terminated.Thank you.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello All,
I'm trying to develop a stored procedure that would do one of TWO things:
1. Return a 'status' that a value does not exist, if I were to provide the parameter via an ASP.NET2.0 page
2. If it does exists, to return the row data associated with that value (id number)
The stored procedure would search a SQL Server table within it self first. It that fails it would look at an Oracle table (work order table). And if that fails to return a 'row' to look through another Oracle table (work request table). If that doesn't occur, then it would throw the result as described in #2.
If the result exists in one of the TWO Oracle tables it would then insert that row into the first SQL Server table that the stored procedure searched through AND would return the row set to the ASP.NET page.
While all this is happening, I was hoping to get some insight as to how to create a "Please Wait..." feedback and then moving to the final result.
Looking forward to the wise words of the many on this forum, as I have experienced in the past! :)
Hi folks!
The boss has decided that the data from a table we have on one database (containing daily data) needs to be copied to a "history" table on a different database, on a different server.
The transfer will probably be done with a scheduled stored procedure, and all columns will be transferred EXCEPT for two columns in the source table, which are not present in the destination table. This means instead of an "INSERT Dest SELECT * FROM Source" I have to do an "INSERT Dest SELECT yada,yada,yada... FROM Source" in order to disregard the columns we don't care about. NO problem.
I was thinking (you should smell trouble - and sawdust burning at this point) that this leaves us open to a punch below the belt later when a new column is added to the Source table, since we are using a definitive list of columns to move rather than a *, and the new column could be added without the otherwise system-generated, *-sponsored "gentle reminder" that it also needs to be added to the Dest table. I'm not as convinced as The Boss that "Oh, I'm sure we'll remember to add it to the history table when that happens" :lol:
So, long story shorter (nah...too late for that) - I figure I can write a check at each day's historical transfer on the count of columns in one table verses the other, and send an email or fail the job if the count doesn't make sense.
For example, if the Source table has 34 columns, since we don't care about two of them, the Dest table should have 32 columns, if things are still in synch. OK, I think (insert burning sawdust smell here), I can use a SysObjects thang to count rows. BOL points out INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS as a possibility.
Here is the code I think (sawdust) can be used:select ((select count(*) from SourceDb.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.columns
where table_name = 'Source') - (select count(*) from HISTSERVER.DestDb.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.columns
where table_name = 'Dest')) as ColumnDiff
Trouble is...this fails because apparently the INFORMATION_SCHEMA thang doesn't do well with remote servers.
Can anyone figure a way around this, or suggest an alternative? I'm still looking, but thought I'd also toss it out onto the board for your generous consideration.
Thanks - and can you BELIEVE the year is already 1/12th of the way OVER?!?!?!

Let me explain in simplified terms. We have an ETL process:
1) download data from the iSeries table Cust into SQL table Cust.
2) Tran_Cust is a view created FROM Cust
3) Copy from view Tran_Cust to table ods_Cust
4) v_ods_Cust is a view created from ods_Cust
I want to look for inconsistencies in the column definitions as a column moves from iSeries Cust, SQL Cust, view Tran_Cust, ods_Cust, view v_ods_Cust. The columns generally keep the same names except for v_ods_cust. Here a column like CustName will be created with a more meaningful column name - "CustName as 'Customer Name'.
We have hundreds of tables and we have column definition inconsistences where the host changed their column defintion and we made no changes on the SQL side. Or someone made a SQL column change in one table, but not both tables and the views were not dropped and recreated.
I have the list of tables. Think that I can put together some tsql to loop through the list of tables and create a new table based on the iSeries definition, then compare columns defintion across all the tables and views - except for the v_ods. THis is where columns are given new names - such as "CustName as 'Customer Name'". Need the actual view definition to find that CustName is 'Customer Name' and then compare the definition of ods_Cust.CustName to v_ods_Cust.[Customer Name]
How can I find the view definiton of say v_ods_Cust, seperate out the source column names (CustName) and destination column names (Customer Name) so that I can compare the source column names to another table and fine the differences?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've seen a few posts in the MSDN documentation (see links below) stating that the MergeSynchronizationAgent no longer requires the STA threading model in SQL Server 2005 SP1.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
(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,I'm using SQL Server 2005. My Connection String looks like that at the moment: <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=xx;Initial Catalog=xx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xx;Password=xx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> Now I'd like to change this kind of authentication to Integrated Windows AuthenticationI added the WorkerProcess IIS_WPG to the permitted Users but it didn't help.Changed the Connection String to this:connectionString="Server=xx;Database=xx;Trusted_Connection=True;"All I'm getting is that my NetworkService is not permitted to access DB when I try to connect to the DB in ASP.NET.How can I properly configure that? Thanks!

Would anyone please help me out here. which of the 2 modes of authentication is better and why??
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
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

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?
Hi,
I need to figure out what kind of Authentication , I need to use for following applicaiton
Product : -
1 ) It resides on a its Domain and has access to Database on that Domain.
2 ) We have a application level login , n based on application login id
display specific pages.
The question that bother me is this
Q ) If i use NT authentication , then a user will be required to
a ) Login to domain (with userid and password) first and then
b ) Then i would require to again login to applicaiton with application
level login and password.(different levels of login as there)
Based on the application level login i will display only specific
asp pages. They have different access rights..and roles.
Requirment is to login only once..and it should authenticate to application display specific pages and authenticate to SQl server database also..
Is there any way thru which i can map my application level login to SQl server.. and what authentication should i use..
Thanks,
Teny
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
Hi all,
My SQL Server 7.0 is now running in a mixed mode authentication. I understand
that this method of authentication is not safe. So, Ive planned to change my
server's method of authentication from mixed to NT-only mode.
Kindly tell me what are the points I should consider for doing this, so that,
the existing data and the users are not affected.
Cheers and thanx in advance

We recently moved our SQL Server services to a dedicated machine, and things have gone relatively smoothly.
My boss's major concern is that now when he runs some scripts in another application that updates sales data with the newest info from the database, it pops up a login box with the correct information in it already, but they have to hit OK to finish running the script. This was not happening on the old server. I've double-checked the ODBC data sources are correct, and have compared the security for the 2 servers and they appear to be identical still. Has anyone seen this before or knows what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,

My sql server is configured for W NT security.Whenever I am running from program from VB6, & the user name is prompted for, even if I enter a user that is not defined as an NT user, SQL lets it connect to the database. WHY?

Hello !
I am having a problem with NT trusted connections. I am running a front-end from Access 97 with linked tables to an SQL Server. Whenever I open a form, I will be prompted for login. Since I am already on an NT domain, I make use of 'trusted connection'. However, whenever the form is refreshed or a requery is sent, I am always prompted for login again. Using an SQL user login does not give me the problem and it's a one time login.
Q : How do I configure SQL such that it doesn't prompt me for login everytime whenever I choose 'trusted connection' ?
Thanks.
