I've just started to learn to use Visual Studio, and has come to database access.
I ran into this errormessage:
access denied for user <machine name>ASPNET
The book I'm using just only say that I have to grant the ASPNET user account permissions before the Web application will have access to a SQL database. ... Seems clear at first glance ... but I lack a "how to" ...!
---
I've tried to search the net for solutions ... several thousands of pages came up ... indicating that I'm far from the first who have this problem. ... So after I now have spend hours reading, without finding any useful ansver to the question. ...
So let me just tell the most popular answers. (So You don't repeat something I allready have read hundreds of times.):
This question has been asked before
Yes, true answer, but it doesn't help.
See the FAQ
If it was stated were in the FAQ to look it could have been useful.
Use something called "enterprise manager" (WIN XP pro, don't have this, though.)
I use WIN XP pro, so that answer dosn't help me either.
We have an ASP.net application that currently sits on a server that runs IIS and sql server. We are spliting IIS and SQL server into 2 seperate machines. I believe I have the connection string okay as I can see the entries in the security log on the sql server machine however it keeps saying aspnet user invalid user or invalid password. What gives with this. We put .net on the sql server however this just added the aspnet user to the machine. Do I need to create an aspnet user inside the sql server and give it control of the dbases as well? I am running this using the personal web server not IIS on a server. I have a project on my desktop and am using the "local" IIS or personal web server that comes with visual studio out of the box. What kills me is that when I put the project on a real IIS server that has sql server on the same machine I have no issues. However when I split the dbase and the IIS apart onto 2 servers I get this aspnet invalid user or invalid password. HELP
Im getting ASP.Net 2.0 Beta 2 setup on my home machine to kick around with. Im assuming this error means i have SqlServer Express mis-configured for integrated security. if so, how do i go about making sure that the ASPNET user has at least read access to the Database?

I have recently come across the following problem when attempting to access the solution file for the project in question. I double click to access the file and VS2003 fires up, only for it to give me the above warning. At which point nothing is loaded in the tree!
When I check things out they do show up in Source Safe but if I need to add any new reports (which I do), I am unable to add them...
I have a user, who is trying log into the server, but everytime he gets this error saying something about the Group policy denies him access.
This user needs access and i'm trying to understand how to grant it to him.
I have been looking into how i can access the group policy editor, but the farthest i can get is the Local group policy editor. How do i make sure this specific user has access?
I just moved my website to a shared host, and I face some trouble. Since there is more than one DB on the SQL server they don't want to create a ASPNET user. Is there a way to make my SQLCommand use my user name instead of ASPNET ?
Otherwise, can anyone explain to me the result of the ASPNET user on other website who will use the same server as me security wise ?
I am going though the ASP.NET QuickStart tutorials. One of the lessons is to add a datagrid. I am able to do that with VWD and am able to connect to the database in VWD. However when I try to execute the application I get a "Login failure" message because the user pcName/ASPNET cannot login. How do I add the ASPNET user to the SQLExpress database? There don't seem to be any administration tools that were installed with SQL Server Express 2005. Thanks in advance for the help!

I have developed an asp.net application and have deployed it to the web server. The application accesses an SQL Server to allow users to make changes to data. My connection string is the following:
On the SQL Server side, I have a trigger that logs when changes are made and by whom. The suser_sname returns <Servername>ASPNET as the user making the change. Why is this? Should it not be the user id of the user? If the SQL Server thinks that the current user is ASPNET then how can it make changes when this is not a user defined for the database.
The web site is set up to allow for Integrated Windows Authentication only. SQL Server is on the same machine as the web server.
I am using MSDE in an ASP .NET application using forms authentication in order to the user can visit my website anonymously but have to authenticate in some pages.
Web server and MSDE server are in the same computer.
I would like to know how role I should set for the ASPNET sql server user. I am using Microsoft SQL Web Data Administrator and when I am creating the ASPNET user, then a page with some roles is shown.
Roles like public (default), db_owner, db_accessadmin, db_datareader, db_datawriter...
I had applied db_datareader and db_datawriter but now, when I use store procedures in my code, an error is made so I have applied db_owner role for the ASPNET user.
Is this correct or db_owner is a excessive privileged role for the ASPNET user?
The objective is to configure on a dev machine. Selecting New Database User is the easy part as the ***ASPNET user can be selected from the drop down listbox. What follows and what to do next is a myriad of choices. What needs to be done next? Is there a step-by-step document somewhere that you can refer?
can anyone help me with this error message, i follow the instruction of someone in other forum, but i cant find where the SQL Server Enterprise manager is, i am using MSDE.

I would like to grant the MACHINENAMEASPNET user all acccess to my MSSQL database (i.e tables and stored procedures. I can do this through enterprise manager but id rather do it programatically so i can add it to my database creation script. What is the syntax for this?
Hi I created my DB in SQL 2005 Express in VS IDE. I have my app in IIS. When I try to use the DB (e.g. try to login a user in the app) it gives me the following error: Cannot open database "cvRepository" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'MyPCASPNET'. My guess was that I had to give permissions to ASPNET user so I did in SQL Server Management. Still not working! Checked my Connection string and I think it's fine... connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Database=cvRepository;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" Still not working! Can anyone explain me what's wrong and to solve this?!
Hi all, I am new to ASP .NET and now I have been messing two days with the connection thing. I use the Visual Studio 2003 provided drag and drop SqlDataAdapter and SqlConnection to connect to the SQL 2000 server, developer edition (configured with the Windows authentication mode), but whenever I tried I always got a "Login failed for user mymachine/ASPNET" error. Can anyone help me with this? I have also tried, as somebody did, adding one line "<identity imperonate="true"/> to the Web.config file, but had the same kind of error. Do I have do make some change to my SQL server? Thanks a lot! Charlize

Respected Members, I have a question, when our aspx page is trying to access the SQL Server 2000 database than before this do we have to creaete a user with the name of ASPNET in SQL Server 2000, or without creating this paticular user(its the default user of ASP.NET account) our aspx pages can also access the SQL Server 2000,I have already SQL Server 2000 running in "SQL Server Authentication Mode" so while creating the user do I have to create it in "Windows Authentication" or "SQL Server Authentication", can you provide some link where I could find complete steps for craeting the ASPNET user or if some one can tell all the steps in details here.
I've been trying to workout how, without impersonation, I can allow an application running under the default ASPNET user to access a network resource (SQL Server/ADAM) not on the same physical machine.
It seems that because the ASPNET user is a local user not a domain user I can't setup windows authentication on the network resource. That seems to leave impersonation which MS et al say is unwise.

I have my normal SQL 2005 database....and another database (on the same machine) that is the default aspnet database. I use that for authentication of course. Everything is working well except now I need to (for a SP I'm creating) access the UserID field in the Users table (without the customer logged in). I know this isn't the best way to do it but....Can someone tell me how to programatically (from an existing SP) access the aspnet database? So I can just check something against the UserID (providerkey) I already have? The customer isn't logged in at this point. I have their UserID from somewhere else. Here is what I am trying to use now. IT Works in Query Manager but throws an error (...in this security context) when I run it in ASP.NET...SELECT @UserName=(select UserName from [aspnetdb].dbo.aspnet_Users where UserID=@UserID) Thanks.
I hope anyone can help me with this. I am having problems connecting to the aspnet database. It all started when I noticed that I could not log in to my webapplication anymore under debug mode, although I was able to log in when remotely accessing the website. I got the error message that the machineaspnet user did not have access to the database: "Login failed for user 'GM-FEDORSASPNET' "This was highly peculiar and rather annoying so I tried several things to straighten this out, but it only made things worse!I read that this had to with permissions of the database in question, al though I could not understand why permissions suddenly had changed. I tried to change the rights by attaching it to Management Studio Express and defining an aspnet login, but that failed because a login under that name was not accepted. I tried to make a copy of aspnet.mdf, delete the original and rename the copy to aspnet.mdf. When that didn't work, I then deleted the aspnet.mdf, counting on it that it would be regenerated automatically, but alas. I located the aspnet_regsql.exe tool to regenerate the database, but got the following error message: System.Web.HttpException: Unable to connect to SQL Server database. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)What can I do?
I'm creating one of my first asp.net pages, and it accesses an MS SQL database.It runs fine locally, but if you go to it remotely through a web browser, you get an exception saying that the database login failed for user ASPNET.My brother told me to do the following in SQL Server Managment studio. It seems I don't have that program installed, so I did it from the SQL command prompt.CREATE LOGIN [bigblueASPNET] FROM WINDOWSuse AdventureWorkscreate user [bigblueASPNET](Where "bigblue" is the computer name and "AdventureWorks" is the database my asp.net web page reads from).This only partially fixed the problem - now when you open the page remotely and try to access the DB I get an error message saying that permission to use the SELECT command is denied.I searched on these forums, and found this:http://forums.asp.net/69166/ShowPost.aspxFor future reference, let's call what my brother told me "Method 1" and what the previous poster did as "Method 2."I haven't tried method 2 because I don't know exactly what I am giving ASPNET permission to do. Does method 2 enable ASPNET to do anything to any database? It seems method 1 is more secure, as from the commands I could already tell it only has permission to access AdventureWorks.So, I'd prefer to use method 1. Can anyone tell me what further commands I can use to give ASPNET permission to do specific actions?If I can't figure out method 1 and have to do method 2, how can I undo what I did in method 1?Thanks!
How do I add login user ASPNET to my SQL 2000 Desktop Engine Server?. I can not find the "Server Manager" in the Start - Programs. Is there any other way to get around adding ASPNET login to the SQL server so I can test my VB program. I got the error: Login failed for user 'com_nameASPNET'.
I am trying to create an ASPNET Login for a SQL Server express Database (As Installed via Visual Studio) so my ASP Web Applications can invoke the Database. But SQLServer Managemnt Tool is not recognising any ASPNET user names I try. I am trying to add via Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, but get an error " An Object (User or Built-in Security principal) with the following name cannot be found "mycomputerASPNET". "
Any obvious reason why ASPNET is not being recognised as a Login object object
Unfortunately I am on VISTA and IIS7 ( I have enabled, and checked that ASP Applications Run.)
- The process works OK on my other XP machine, ASP.NET via IIS 5.1, which seems more straightforward to set up.
I wanted to deploy my Sql 2005 reports to my local machine and want it to get viewed by all the users through Asp.Net application.
User can directly view the reports by clicking on the direct link to report but when they try to view it using application having Report Viewer, running on iis it gives acess denied 401 error and can't view the reports
If I make my application to run on default port then it works fine
If I give rights to <particularMachineNameASPNET> then that user can view the report but if there are 100 users then will i Add 100 such entries???
set up asp .net user account on sql server 2005Question:
I've read the instructions in this article: http://www.netomatix.com/Development/aspnetuserpermissions.aspxBut do not know how to do this:You can grant 'Network Service' or 'ASPNET' user accounts permissions to connect to database.Please provide example on how to do this, thanks!
I have recently upgraded to SQL2014 on Win2012. The Access front end program works fine.
But, previously created Excel reports with built in MS Queries now fail with the above error for users with MS 2013. The queries still work for users still using MS 2007.
I also cannot create any new queries and get the same error message. If I log on as myself on the domain to another PC with 2007 installed it works fine, so I don't think it is anything to do with AD groups or permissions.
The SQL Server is installed on SERVER-A. SERVER-A and SERVER-B are Windows 2003 servers on the same Windows 2003 domain. The SQL Server and SQL Server Agent services are running under the domain account SQLSERVICE. SQLSERVICE is a member of the Domain Admins group. The Domain Admins group is part of the local Administrators group on SERVER-B. The SQLSERVICE account has also explicitly been given Full Control to the folder referenced by \SERVER-BSHARE xp_cmdshell use has been enabled on the SQL Server.
If I run the following command in SQL:
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'whoami'the following is returned: DOMAINSQLSERVICE If I change the command to access the c: drive instead of a network drive, it executes successfully.
Can anyone shed some light on why I still cannot access any of the files in this folder using xp_cmdshell?
When i am trying to start our hospital software based on SQL server 2000, it shows Following Error.Search Condition is not valid, (DBNETLIB) Connection Open (connect()). SQL server does not exist or excess denied. Due to Fetch data.I run our software in Windows 8.1, while it smothly runs in previous version of Windows XP and 7.
We recently upgraded to SQL 2005 from SQL 2000. We have most of our issues ironed out however about every 1 minute there is a message in the Application Event log and the SQL log that states:
EVENT ID 18456 Login Failed for the users DOMAIN/ACCOUNT [CLIENT: <local machine>]
This is a state 16 message which I thought meant that the account does not have access to the default database. The account is actually the account that the SQL services run under.
Any ideas? We can't seem to figure this one out. We actually upgraded to 2005 from 2000 and had an error appear after every reboot that prevented the SQL Agent from running(This application has failed to start because GAPI32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.) We did a full uninstall of SQL and reinstalled fresh and restored the databases from .bak files and that is when the EVENT ID 18546 started occuring every minute.
We don't have any SQL heavy hitters here so please be detailed with any possible solutions. That you very much for any help you can provide!
