which is the string I would like to use for normal web access. This string works fine on my development system (where I use XP Pro and IIS 5.1)
In IIS6 on the "production server" the directory security on the virtual dir is set to allow anonymous access, using user IUSR_WS1 (where WS1 is the name of the system) and to integrated security.
Hi-I have a program that I am developing on a laptop, then deploying it on a server.I have the prgram running passing a username and PW in the connection object, but like the idea of using windows authentication MUCH better.I just joined the domain, so I am domain/me for example.If I log into the server, and look at securities, logins and added domain/me to the logins.I then try and set up a sql connection via both visual studio, and sql server magt studio, and get the dreaded "Cannot generate SSPI context" error. Anyone else have this problem? SHOULD V.S. be using domain/me to connect? TIA dan
G'day, I'm very new to ASP.NET (but not to programming) and I'm having some trouble with connecting to a database.
I am using C#.NET and I dragged the SqlConnection component onto the form, set the connection string to (local) and to use integrated security, and on that data link properties page I can press the test connection and it works fine, and I can see the databases in "select database on server" drop down box... but when I try and Open() the connection I get a
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'AMD2500ASPNET'.
I am trying to connect to a MSDE database on server from my desktop using query analyzer. I keep getting the generic "SQL Server does not exist or access denied'
I have verified the following: - the login/password is valid because when I access osql from server I can gain access - the registry for Loginmode appears OK - set to 2 - mixed mode
Being new to the SQL server world I have a beginner question.How do I grant access to database from a networked computer?I have tried:sp_grantlogin '\computernameusername'and I get the error:Windows NT or user <above> not found. Please check name.Any help would be appreciated.ThanksEric
I just installed MSDE and when I try to connect to it I get the following message:"Uable to connect to the database. General network error. Check your network documentation.ConnectionRead (recv()).TDS buffer length too largeTDS buffer length too large"Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem?
Hi there, i've installed MSDE and have successfully connected to it from a remote version of Enterprise Manager but when i try to connect using ADO.NET from a website using the same login details i get the following message:"SQL Server does not exist or access denied"I installed msde with DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 and SECURITYMODE=SQL so everything should be setup properly. My connection string looks like this:server=ip_addressinstance_name;uid=myusername;pwd=mypassword;database=mydatabaseThis connection string works fine when testing locally (without ip address ie. localhostinstance_name)Any ideas why this doesn't work??
Hey guys, I am a newbie here, so please bear with me. I have installed SQL Server 2005 CTP on Machine A and MSDE on Machine B. Both these contain the PUBS database beside others. On Machine C, I have installed "ASP.Net Web Matrix" and I want to be able to connect to either Machine A or B to access the PUBS database. It connects to Machine B, when I put in the Servers IP address. But everytime I try to connect to Machine A, it gives me an error saying, "Unable to connect to the database. To connect to this server you must use SQL Server Management Studio or SQL Server Management objects(SMO) ". I heard that connection strings are needed to access the SQL Server 2005 but I have no idea where to begin. Do I need to create special users to access the Server or will Windows authentication work ? Could anyone help me out in connecting to the SQL Server 2005 CTP?
I have installed MSDE into my system, in which SQL Server is not installed. I have followed the installation instructions and installed MSDE. How can i connect to the database? I have the .MDF file of the database (already created in sqlserver) in the Data Folder. How can i connect to the database from Visual Basic 6?
I have downloaded WebMatrix/NET.Framework and it works well. Unfortunatelly I have problem with connecting to MSDE. I've installed the new version (sql2ksp3a) like they say:
The MSDE works ok (I can connect from a commercial programs - for example 'MSDE Manager') and seems to be ok. But when I try to connect from Web Matrix I get the error: "Unable to connect to database, Invalid connection connection Open, Invalid instancename".
I put all the parameters correct: user: sa, auth.type: SQL, server: my_pc_namemy_instance_name
By the way the instance name and my PC name is the same. Could it be the reason ?
Hi,Does anyone know how I can connect to an MSDE db using VB with aread-only file? The file will be on a CD, and is actually just archiveddata off a SQL server. I would like to package my app on a CD alongwith the data file and allow users to pop in the CD and run the app,assuming they already have MSDE running. Any help?Thanks,Jason
When I try to connect this database from my program running on my machine , it works fine. But when i try to connect to it from the same program running on a different machine on the same domain.It gives error:
"SQL Server does not exist or access denied ."
Even when i run the same program in my machine to access the same TempDB database on a remote machine that is not in my domain, it works fine.
this is my connection string: Data Source={Database server's IP Address}TempInstance;Initial Catalog=TempDB;User ID=sa;PWD=password;
I'm trying to connect to an instance of MSDE 2000 from Visual Studio 2005 over a home network. Although I know how to connect to a database from Visual Studio, I'm pretty clueless about configuring Sql Server to allow the connection (I can connect with no problem when I do so from the same computer). Also, with experimenting I've created a bunch of instances of Sql Server that I don't really need and am not sure how to get rid of them. Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know if this will help, but I've already tried enabling all of the network protocols in the instance. Also, I can easily connect to an Access database over the network.
I was trying out the Building an End-to-End Application (VB.Net) exercises on Web Matrix Guided Tour and encountered the mentioned errors. Please help. Thanks.

All of a sudden I cannot connect to sql server from Visual Studio. Nor I can't conenct to Sql server through IIS and it gives me the same error saying "Login failed: Cannot Generate SSPI Context". Lots of my development projects got stuck because of the SSPI Issue. I know there was a network upgrade from Windows NT (users) to Active directory. I can only access the sql server from the host machine.if someone can guide or give me a quick run down on things to look for that would be wonderful.
HiMy company uses a Windows 2000 server with MS SQL Server 2000.We have many clients with administrative software that use the MS SQLserver, the problem is that we experimented randomly the error"Cannot Generate SSPI Context" and the only way to work with DB is logout the client.I'm looking the MS Technical sheet but there's no resolving hints thatcan help.Anyone has a similar problem ?Thanks.
Win Server 2003 SQL Server 2000 SP4 SharePoint Server
Win Server 2000 (Domain Controller / Active Drectory)
Clients: Win XP / Access XP
I have two clients that can access the SQL Server and one that can not. All clients can access SharePoint (SLQ Server Back end) and directories controlled by AD.
The one that cannot access the SQL Server errors: "Cannot Generate SSPI Context". I have verified: 1) date and time 2) occurances of Security.DLL (win/system32; program file/common files/AOL...; Service Pack Files/i386 (x2)) 3) Not using cached credentials
we recently moved our network and did not change any settings on any of the computers. I read KB811889; those suggestions did not resolve the issue.
Please assist me in touble shooting this connection problem. Also, how does changing the SQL Server Port on the server affect SharePoints connection to its database?
I have a SQL Server 2000 in a specific W2K server, that belongs to a domain that is administered by a W2003 server.
There is a client that has a new computer with WXP in the same domain. It used to have an old machine with W2K pro. and with the same user it worked OK.
When accesing SQL from the client with an Office2003 application via ODBC with windows authentication, after several minutes working OK, suddenly it gets this message:
Conection error. SQL state: S1000
Cannot generate SSPI context.
In the client I have executed cliconfg.exe and created a piped name protocol, but still it won't work.
Firstly, I have read through so much information on this, that my eyes are starting to bleed and I am right at the end of my rope with it all..
This issue has only started showing since I re-installed my dev box, so my server has not changed at all..
Server is 2003 with SQL 2005.
Dev box is
Vista (Ultimate)
Visual Studio Pro 2005..
A quick but painful solution is for me to log out of my box and then back in, but this is unworkable at times... about the only difference I can think of this install from the last is that now I have also installed SQLExpress on the dev box. I have gone into services and made sure that the service does not start auto. I have connection to the server and am running as administrator on both until such time as I can sort this out, but the error still occurs.
Authentication for the dbase is both windows and credential.
Can someone please give me a stratight out solution for this.
I'm signing into a sqlexpress 2005 local server using windows integration and it fails with a "Cannot generate SSPI context". After 2 years of working with this, it just started to happen after I installed a new piece of software to test. My colleague thinks it hosed our domain names. I've read all the articles and most of them have to do with a non-local server. I also read that this is caused with TCP/IP so I disabled it for sqlexpress and tried again. Then I get "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to the sql server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings sql server does not allow remote connections." I know I have remote enabled so that isn't true. If it uses VIA, "Login failed for user '(null)'. Not a trusted sql connection" or something like that. Anyway, I think something is hosed in my domain and my colleague fixed it by downloading some xp tool that he can't remember where it came from. Any chance anyone else knows about this tool?
Hai, I'm having Windows XP SP2 version and I have installed SQL server 2005. Whenever I'm opening SQL server management studio in Windows Authentication Mode I get a pop message indicating that "SSPI context error message". What may be the problem and how to sort it out?
Hai, I usually connect SQL Server 2005 using Windows authentication mode (trusted connection). I have one server to which four client machines are connected and all the clients are windows XP SP2. The SQL Server 2005 I have installed is Standard Edition. When I'm connecting I get a pop message indicating that "SSPI context error message". I have seen the Troubleshooting Article ID : 811889. I was'nt able to resolve it. What may be the problem and how to sort it out ?

I keep getting these alerts but the client's IP listed in the message doesn't seem to be having a problem. I'm not sure if it is retrying and succeeds the second or third try. I commonly get 2 of these messages each time it happens. I thought is may be when the user connects to the server in Management Studio but when I got the message today the user wasn't trying to connect to this server. The server the use was connected to in SSMS is linked to this server but if the link was causing the error it looks like it would return the IP of the server instead of the users IP. The link is done using a SQL login account. Anyway, this is not a big problem since know body except me even knows it is happening but I'd like to figure it out.

Hello, I have an XP box with SQL 2k working without any problems. I am trying to install SQL 2005 CTP April on the same machine. Installation goes fine, but when I try to connect, I am getting an error "Can not Create SSPI Context". Why am getting this error ? DOes the machine needs to be on a domain to get connected? If yes, is there a work around? Can I use mixed mode? WhereHow do I specify password for sa?
At our site, we page DBAs whenever an alert with a severity of 20 or greater is raised. This never was an issue until SQL Server 2005. Now every SSPI error is paged since it is a severity 20. I don't believe the errors are severe enough to qualify an assignment of 20. Anybody else have any thoughts on this?
I am using windows impersonation in a CLR that is retrieving folder structure. In order to use impersonation I need to pass the windows credential to the SQL server so I am trying to use "integrated security=SSPI" and I also tried "integrated security=true" as well with the same result...I get the error: Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. The SQL Server and IIS are located in different un-trusted domain. I am however able to connect to the SQL Server using user id and password. In my web.config file: <add name="ConnectionName1" connectionString="Data Source=IpAddress,Port#;Initial Catalog=DatabaseName;Integrated Security=true;persist security info=False; Trusted_Connection=Yes;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> à Doesn’t work <add name="ConnectionName2" connectionString="Data Source=IpAddress,Port#;Initial Catalog=DatabaseName;uid=user;pwd=password;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> à WorksBased on the error message it looks like there is no user passed to the SQL server. What am I missing? At this point I am thankful for any input…
Our end users is getting below error, when they try to connect to our database:

hi, While trying to connect to SQLSever 2000 or SQLSever 2005 from a vb.net application , a user is getting the error "Cannot generate SSPI context" while other users can still connect to the server. and moreover, this user were able to connect before. and if he restarts his computer, then try to connect after a lap of time, it will connect. but if he waits and opens other applications,and then tries to open the application,it will not work.
Hi, I have a MSSQL database running in a Microsoft cluster. I was working on troubleshooting for another SAP problem when they suggested I change the setting using hte SQL Server Client Network Utility to 'named pipes' from 'tcp/ip'. Every since, despite changing it back I'm unable to start the database in the cluster.
I'm kind of a newbie at this so I'd really appreciate any help in getting this database up and running.
Here is the error message from the event log: sqsrvres] checkODBCConnectError: sqlstate = HY000; native error = 0; message = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Cannot generate SSPI context
