I am setting up several isql job in Enterprise Manager and as a cmdexec job I need to pass the user id and password( -P). I shtere any way not to pass this as text and perhaps hide/encrypt it since any one who opens the task scheduler and looks at the job can read the password?
All -- Please help. I have some questions about connection strings.
BACKGROUND...
Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005. Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string. Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference. Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
QUESTIONS... (A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean? (B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string? (C) Are there any alternatives? (D) What do you suggest?
I would like to know how to programmatically extract username and password from an ftp connection manager. Thanks.
I got this code but I want to get the values of every available property in a connection manager. Please help. Thanks!

Hello. I have recently installed MS SQL SERVER 2005 and when I was installing it, it asked me for the username and password, and there I had 2 options: either write my own, either select "Use Windows Authentification". I selected the "Windows Authenthification" ( I guess that means that it uses my username and password from Windows ).
Now, Im trying to connect to the Server using Java and JDBC, but I have a problem: I have to specify the username and the password of the connection! My windows' only account is "Vlad" and I have no password. I tried these options, but it didn't work. I also tried with empty string "", and with "sa", "sa" but it didn't work either. I get an error saying that "Login failed for user 'Vlad'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server Connection."
Any ideea of what the username/passwords are or how to get them?.
I am using sqljdbc41.jar to connect with MSSQL database, it is working fine on my local machine.Where as on the remote server, same class giving me error
Login failed for user '<domain><windows loginID>' My connection string is URL...
I am using sqljdbc41.jar and on 64 bit processor , I am using following command which included path for sqljdbc_auth.dll java -Djava.library.path= C: sqljdbc_4.1enuauthx64 TestDao and error is Login failed for user '<domain><windows loginID>' why it is not picking up username passed in connection string. I have 2 machines, one is local and other is remote. on both machine I login using my domain, it is working absolutely fine on local then why the error is coming on remote machine.Both the machines are identical.
I'm writing a php program and I would like to know how I could encrypt only the connection string (if that€™s possible) to connect to a database (SQL Server 2005 Express Edition).
Web Server -----> connection string (Ciphertext) -----> SQL Server 2005
I have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure! However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it. If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane! I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is: DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
I am running an application on mssql 6.5, sp 4 on NT 4.0.
We routinely chnage paswords for the sa login. One loophole for users to learn the sa password is in scheduler tasks underr EM when a task is added to run under cmdexec, the password is written in text under the -P paramater.
1) Is there any way to encrypt the password there or does any one have a stored procedure or function to do s?
1) Which executible, if any, runs the scheduled tasks under EM? Is this part of EM or is there any specific executible that runs the scheduled tasks?
Any information oyu can provide or suggestions you cna make will be appreciated.
Is there a way to find out my user id and password that should be used in my connection string? If I can not find this information out for myself, do I need to go to some type of system administrator. Here is the connection string in my web.config file. <connectionStrings> <add name="SPK" connectionString="Server=localhost; User ID=AppUser;Password=meander;Database=atstdb01; Persist Security Info=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings>
When I access this connection string via my code, A little dialog box pops up with the following error message: Login failed for user AppUser. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

I'm trying to setup a dynamic ole db connection using the SA user ID, it has to be dynamic because the server name will change and it has to be SA because we're pulling information from system databases that some users don't have access to.
If I setup a regular static connection using SA credentials it works like a charm of course. When I create an expression to use the User:erver variable it doesn't work, it throws an error message saying that "The login failed for user sa" among other things, I'm thiking that the sa's password is not being saved.
Where exactly do I place a password for dynamic connections using sql server users? On the connection string? On the password property of the source? Any ideas?
The problem I am facing is related to dynamic configuration of package one of the package connection is DB2 connection, I tried to set the expression connection string for that connection to the variable which contains the connection string to the DB2 but when I set connection the String property then i get the error message in transformation that password is missing, I dont want to write password in connection String for security reasons so I tried to save password in connection which is not helpful I am getting the same error message package security setting I changed to "Encrypt Sensitive Data with User Key" , anywayout to overcome this problem?

I built an eommerce site on my local computer at work. It's now time to put the site on our server and get things rolling... anyways, I'm trying to perform an sqldump so I can gather the appropriate text files so I can upload the database. Anyways, the sqldump program I am using requires a username and password to access the sql database.
I am using MSDE and have no clue as to what the username and password may be....
My VisualStudio .Net automatically connects when I work on the site.
Does anyone know what the default username and password may be or what my options are to get this sqldump to work?
Does anyone know which algorithm is being used to encrypt the passwords in the sysxlogins for SQL Server 2000? I've been googling for some time..but I can't seem to find this information. Please help.
I have a login table with username and password as attributes. I need to encrypt the password using stored procedure and then save it in the database. And also while retrieving the password, decrypt using the same stored procedure and get the original text.
I have installed MSDE using the following parameter:
commandline> setup SAPWD="MySAPwd"
now all was set up... when i opened the osql utility..i wasnt able to login... it kept asking me the login name ans password...
i entered my windows login name which is 'home' and entered 'kham00s' as the password... it didnt work... then i entered my windows login name again which is 'home' and entered 'OTHERPASSWORD' as the password which is my system password...but did not work either...
then i logged in using :
commandline> osql -E
It successfully logged in... and i was able to create databases and tables...
can someone tell me how to set a username and password for MSDE please... so that i can connect to MSDE using WebMatrix...
i m coming from a PHP/MySQL background so i know SQL and stuff... but dont know how to handle and configure MSSQL...

I need to get into a database and need the password and username for a Microsoft SQL Server v.6.5 database. Can you help or do you know someone else who can? This database is owned by us and this is a "legal" project.
Thank you.

Does this make sense for a logon table:CREATE TABLE Logon(ID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,name VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,password VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL)GOCREATE UNIQUE INDEX IX_Logon_Name ON Logon(name)CREATE INDEX IX_Logon_NameAndPassword ON Logon(name,password)GOI do want the name to be unique but also will search frequently on bothname & password. Is this how it should be done? I don't fullyunderstand the difference between placing a single index in name &password VS one on both name & password.
I'm trying to get into an installation of v.6.5 to use with anotherserver and I need the following information:Database hostnameDatabase nameDatabase usernaneDatabase passwordIs this information available anyplace within the installation files?I'm not asked for uname and pwd to get into the database.Thanks!
1. I have deployed the reports on our webserver. When I access the link http://servername/Reports from IE it asks me for a username and password the first time. I tried all the passwords including admin user/pwd but the dialog remains there. I close IE and start again I can access the reports. For your information, the checkbox 'Save my password' is checked in the reports. Does anyone know why the username/password dialog appears the first time?
2. Sometimes some of us get a 'Page cannot be displayed' while the others can access it. I have to start Reporting services and everyone can access the reports. Any ideas?
How do I specify the SMTP username and password for reporting services? It seems like I can specify one for SQLmail, but not reporting services? How the heck is anyone going to use the email feature of reporting services without being able to specify smtp credentials or making their mail server an open relay for spam??
