I am in a situation where I would like to use a SQL login instead of adding individuals windows login to the server. Is there a way to force a login instead of having the report server not give rights at all??
Does anyone know a way to force out all users from a particular database? I need to script this to perform some maintenance at a particular time every day.
We build up a new website in .net mvc 4.0 on a w2012 server with MSSQL 2012 database.We use windows autentification and normal anonymous access through NT AUTHORITYIUSR who is also a login in the database.But we make extra login possibility for users who are registered and they can insert and modify data in some tables in the database. And I'am afraid of giving NT AUTHORITYIUSR insert and update for some column in tables.I think of set up a new login for the database. Run a new connection string on login and set up special permission for that extra user on the database, and let the user become a member of the ordinary user on the database.
I am migrating a database TESTDB from SQL 2008R2 to a new server running SQL Server 2012.
Management has decided the current sql users should have "better" user names. So the login and username "BadUsername" on the old server should be called "GoodUserName". Goodusername should have the same permissions as Badusername.
I have now restored a backup from the old server to the new server.
I used the following script for creating the login:
CREATE LOGIN [GoodUserName] WITH PASSWORD=N'difficultpassword', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[us_english], CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF GO
Then I run the following script:
ALTER USER Badusername WITH LOGIN = GoodUserName, NAME = GoodUserName
But the results are not what I wanted. I now have two database users: Badusername and GoodUserName. I would have preferred if BadUserName was "replaced" by GoodUserName, but it won't be a problem if I have to delete badusername manually. Worser is that GoodUserName have NOT "inherited" any permissions from Badusername.
Is there an easy way to transfer permissions or do I need to loop through the permissions of badusername and apply those to badusername?
we have an application which lets users connect to production database with windows credentials, They are able access the sql tables too with windows login. I want to restrict them from accessing the sql tables. How do I do that.?I tried a db_deny but that prevented them from accessing the application too.
I need to attach and detach 50 DB's, for which I have wrote a simple script. How can I make sure that there are no connections or users connected to the DB's, if there any users how can I forcefully disconnect them.
Hi. I have a DetailsView with Bound Fields "Login" and "Password". This informations are stored in SQL database. How to solve such authorization? How to compare password stored in database against passowrd typed by user? Is this a good idea to use CustomValidator control to write some checking procedure?. Regards. Pawel.
Hello Everyone How do you generate a script for all the current sql server logins and generate a script for database users for each database.? You can script operaoers, tables, databases, and a lot of other objects by using the “All Tasks” shortcut menu option, but I haven’t figured out to script logins and database users. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I set up odbc to link to sql express from access 2003, using sql authentication to force a login, and did not click 'save password'. when i open up access again, and open table, it goes right in without a login. How can I set so it does a login, at least each time Access opens?
I have a server that has 20 databases . I have tested with few users with different level of access and all of them were able to connect to the server and also see, select, update , delete from a particular database which is kind of weird because they do not have a user login associated or mapped to that database. I checked and no user is part of any group in AD that would give them permission to connect . I need a query that would find the permission path of a user. I already queried with xp_logininfo but I am not getting any thing.
Hi, i've enabled the certification authentication login i use SQL 2K5 ENT my problem is like that: in the client network utility i check the Force protocol encryption and connect to the server the client can't connect because he doesn't have the certificate install on his machine which it's OK. the problem is when i remove the Force protocol encryption on the client he connect successfully without the certificate install on his machine or any thing. i double check that on the server i've YES on the Force Encryption in the protocols For MSSQLSERVER. why is that???

How can you force a password, from a sql login, to expire?
I would like to use the password expiration feature for sql logins in SqlServer 2005. The msdn document provides example code for SqlClient SqlConnection.ChangePassword like in Bob Beauchemin's book. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.changepassword.aspx
There is a modify_date in the system view sys.sql_logins but that is read-only.
I have had this issue just pop up. I have local users who can connect fine, but my users that require connection by VPN cannot connect. I get the server not available or access denied error. I did confirm that the VPN'ers are connected to the network correctly and can see that their shares and mappings are correct. Any ideas? Thanking you all in advance!!

Been looking through the forums for a solution to this problem.I already tried granting access through statements such as:exec sp_grantloginaccess N1'machineNameASPNET'But they don't seem to work.. i vaguely remember seeing somewhere a DOS command line statement that grants access to the ASPNET_WP and that fixed my problem before on another computer.. but this is a new computer and i forgot to write down the command.Can anyone help explain and propose a solution to my problem. Many thanxs.
I am using the MSDE to connect to my ASP.NET application. I get this error after clicking the login button of my login page. Anyone know why this would happen?
Thanks for any help,
Cannot open database requested in login 'DataSQL'. Login fails. Login failed for user 'serverASPNET'.
I restore a database on a different server from a device file. This database has a user defined for it. In this case, 'privuser' is the name. No login has been defined.
I can add the privuser login but cannot grant db access because privuser already exists in the db. I cannot drop 'privuser' because the user owns all the user objects in the db.
How can I make the privuser login I create access the db using the privuser username in the db? Would having the login created before restoring the db as a new db work?
can there be multiple users on one single sql login?
I keep getting errors from my users randomly about the server timing out and i am wondering if they are trying to submit append queries at the same time.
I am new to this, so, I will be greatful to anyone who can clarify the following:
qn 1: In login properties under Logins of Security, what does creating mapping to the different databases mean ?
For a given login, I notice that I can login / execute DDL statements alike for the databases which are checked and also for the ones that are not checked.
Then, what does Security -> Logins - > Login Properties -> User mapping -> Users mapped to this login -> checking the database - accomplish?
qn 2: For a perticular login, say 'Bob' which has server admin rights, I wish to include two more databases. For this I 'checked' the databases, which I wish to include, in the
Security -> Logins - > Login Properties -> User mapping -> Users mapped to this login
When I clicked 'OK', I get the following error and the two databases are left unchecked.
User, group, or role 'SQL1AGENT' already exists in the current database. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I made a backup of a production database and copied that backup over to a development server and restored the database. Now I have users saying that the application is failing on development. I have users that have NT authentication and some with SQL authentication.
What is the best way to get everything to sync up again?????
I have a few db's that I am backing up from an old sql2000 system and moving them to the new sql2005 server. The first db's restored without any problems but now I am getting some problems with users and logins.
I am restoring in the following order
1.) Creating empty db "123" 2.) Restoring database from file to database "123" 3.) Creating Login to this database (error happens when linking it to the database, "user exists")
When connecting thru QA I get "Cannot open user default database login failed"
I only have 1 login per database and I don't mind manually deleting and recreating them all but it doesnt seem to be working :S
I'm trying to set up my reports with parameters, to select the paramater by the users login. For example, if someone from the Northwest Region accesses Report mangers and then a report. Instead of them clicking the drop down, for the report parameter. The report automatically generates from the login that gave them access to report manager. So it diplays the information for the Northwest Region.
I know how to do this for Data Driven subscriptions.Such as creating a table , with Region, login, email, and all the information relevant. But how do i do this for users accessing the site theirselves? Is this possible?
I have to give three users read access to a database.  My manager told me to map them to a User called "zxDatabase.Read.ug". I scripted the User and got this...
I don't see a Login at the server level named zxDatabase.Read.ug, so this is confusing. Where is this login in SSMS?
How do I map my three users to user zxDatabase.Read.ug. Or am I not understanding correctly? Do I just add there windows login to the database as Users and configure them the same as zxDatabase.Read.ug
<add name ="ASPNETDBConnectionString1" connectionString ="Data Source= .SQLEXPRESS; Integrated Security = True; DataBase = ASPNETDB.MDF; User ID = MyWindowsUserName; Password = MyWindowsPassword; User Instance = False; Connect Timeout = 30" providerName ="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
I tried to research on the internet and i got a solution on changing the permissions for this database to enable user SystemName/ASPNET, but iam not able to access this ASPNETDB.MDF from SqlServer and if i go to server explorer in vs2005, i dint know where to chage the permissions.
Is SQL Server sensitive to Domain group name? Like "Domain Admin"?
I have user that belong to "myDomainDomain Admin" group. Group is in SQL as sysadmin but user cannot login using domain credentials. When I move that user to a different domain group which that group is in SQL again as sysadmin my user is able to login.Â
I would like to know if there would be any special way to force drop a database from an ASP.NET page.
When I try to do it in the normal way, it gives me an exception like: Cannot drop the database 'xxxxxxx' because it is currently in use. I'would have to wait until there is a timeout. In fact that database can be accessed from another pages, but I want to know if I'd be able to force drop database even when another pages are using it.
I am new to database design and have a very small amount of programming experience, but I am enjoying my project so far. I have a question about SQL database design.
I am creating a VB program that will load a flight data card for an Airforce squadron. One of the items that will end up on the card is the Takeoff and Landing data. Takeoff and landing data is dependent on 4 items for us: power setting, temperature, aircraft weight, and engine type.
I have created 5 tables in my database to store the data: TakoffLandingData, PowerSetting, Temperature, EngineType, and GrossWeight.
I am having some trouble understanding the relationships between these tables. I believe that the PowerSetting, Temperature, EngineType, and GrossWeight tables all have a one-to-many relationship with the TakeoffLandingData table.
However, I am slightly confused by this. For example, for a given gross weight, the airplane will have only one set of takeoff and landing data if the other variables are held contant. However, for one gross weight, the aircraft will have different takeoff and landing data if the engine type is different. Does the EngineType and GrossWeight table then have some sort of relationship I'm missing?
If that's the case it seems like there would be a mess of relationships. I think I'm over-complicating things. Thanks for any assistance you can provide!
I would like to force only certain users on certain databases to use encrypted connections for accessing our 2005 SQL Server. I've found a clunky way to do it, via registering a login event notification and using the kill statement. However, that's ugly, and I don't think there is any guarantee that the event will always fire before an evil client could get off a few evil commands. Is this supported, or is the only supported feature the forceencryption option, which is server-wide?
hi, so i have a new box and I'm trying to get my websites and SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition working on it, but the pages give me the following error when I try to load them: "Cannot Open Database "XXXX" requested by login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'xxx'" Everything seems exactly the same settings and user-wise from my old box to my new one, but nevertheless everything I've tried gives me the same error. I've tried creating new users in SQL Server and giving them appropriate permissions to my database. I've even tried just using the built in 'sa' account. Nothing seems to change the error, except when I give it the incorrect password then it just says 'login failed' This leads me to believe that i'm successfully logging into the SQL Server, but it doesn't want to give me access to the database I'm requesting access too. But "apparently" the account i'm using should have access to the database. If nothing else the 'sa' account should, but that didn't work either. I'm stumped. Any ideas?
