Is there a way to connect to database using Windows authentication as a different user than what you've logged in with to your desktop?
For example:
I log on to my desktop as mydomainme. I'm developing queries using Management Studio against a database (on another server) where mydomainme doesn't have access, but the admins have granted access to mydomainJobs1. I have the password for mydomainJobs1, and I'm hoping I can connect to the database using that account without having to log-off my local desktop as mydomainme and then re-login using mydomainJobs1.
The analogy in the file/share-permissions world would be using "net use" from a command prompt:
net use \SomeServer /User:mydomainJobs1 jobs1password
In testing, several people are testing on laptops.
The database on SQL Server Express is local, on the laptop. So is the client applicatioon. When they unplug from the Network, and go home to work, we get "Cannot Find Server" problems.
Why is this? Windows Authenentication turns off? or is it the fact that TCP / IP is open?
What can we do? If we use the SQL Server Authentication, it works.
If we shut down, plug into the network, restart, it works.
I use the Mangement Studio Express to manage a MSDE 2000 instance and notice that the Server authentication area in the Security is disabled for that instance. But for an Express instance, the Server authentication area is enabled. Is this difference caused by some settings?
If i create a database in sql express in windows authentication mode, the database owner is in the format of 'MACHINENAMEUSERNAME'. If i connect this database to iis server i got login failed error message.
This is my connection string in my web.config : Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=True;Initial Catalog=dbsgh;Data Source=software92sqlexpress
I solved this problem by creating a login in sqlexpress called 'software92/aspnet' and creating a user for my database named aspnet under 'software92/aspnet' login. Then i changed the usrename in directory security of my iis virtual directory to 'software92/aspnet'. This solves my problem. But i think i m solving this problem in a wrong way. I think i should create that database under default owner. Who is the default owner?
I dont know the correct procedure to solve this. Please help.
Has anyone else experienced SQL Express resetting to Windows Authentication only instead of mixed mode for logins after a power failure. I only noticed it happen today as we had 2 power outages in the office and it happened both times. If anyone has seen this happen or knows of a fix please let me know.
I'm attempting to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Management Tools [only] on my workstation which is running Widows XP Pro SP2. I already have VSTS 2005 installed with SQL Server Express and Management Studio Express Edition.
Attempting to do an advanced install with just the Management Tools specified under Client Components, results in the Version Check warning that setup must be run with SKUUPGRADE=1 specified. When I do that, the installation fails with an unexpected error. Clicking the 'Help' button, displays the following info:
Miscrosoft SQL Server Management Studio Express (SQLServer2005_SSMEE.msi) don't complete setup on Windows Vista Beta 2 with Sql Server 2005 Express installed.
Error Code 29506. C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL server\90Tools, Alberto
After installing SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on Windows Vista RC1, I wanted to install also the Managent Studio but I always receive the following error message:
"Bei der Installation dieses Pakets ist ein unerwarteter Fehler aufgetreten. Es liegt eventuell ein das Paket betreffendes Problem vor. Der Fehlercode ist 29506."
Where can I find more infos about this error-code?
Hi there,I have installed MS SQL Server 2005 on my machine with windows authentication. But now I want to switch the authentication mode to SQL Authentication. I am unable to switch, I can’t find the proper way to do so here in 2005.Could any one help me in doing this?Thank you,-Ahsan
I am using SQL Server 2005 Express + SP1 on a Windows Small Business Server(SBS) box. The SBS is connected to a client thru LAN.
Following are what I gave as IP address and DNS on the server:
IP: 192.168.16.2, subnet mask : 255.255.255.0, Preferred DNS server: 192.168.16.2, Default gateway and Alternate DNS Server blank
On the client, I have,
IP: 192.168.16.4, subnet mask : 255.255.255.0, Preferred DNS server, Default gateway and Alternate DNS Server blank
I can ping and connect to either of the machines.
If I do a sqlcmd -S "tcp:servernameINSTANCE,port", I get the following error message: HResult 0x80090304, Level 16, State 1 SQL Network Interfaces: The Local Security Authority cannot be contacted
(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.
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?
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.
I just upgraded from Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista Bussiness and tried to reinstall SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition. After the installation i downloaded (using microsoft windows update) and installed all the service packs for sql and vista available.
My problem is when i open sql server management studio and try to connect to my default instance using windows authentication and database engine, an 18456 error occurs.
I enabled all the protocols and all the ports I disabled windows firewall and antivirus (eset nod32) I installed all service packs available I have also installed Visual Studio 2005 without installing sqlexpress
But nothing happens!
Please i am very desperate, any information will be gratefully accepted.
This is my installation Information

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.
For using different services of SQL SERVER 2005 which is better... Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication? what are the advantages and disadvantages of both?
I folks.I Have installed sql server 2005 express and choosed windowsauthentication on instalation, but i make a mistake and now i needmixed authentication, how can i modify this whithout uninstall andinstall again the application?thanks for the help.
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?
I have created a database under management studio and i want it to be connected in visual studio but it failed the error msgs said that the database can't be connected coz the database with same name exits but that is not true
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.
My SQLExpress seems to be set for windows authentication and not sql server authentication ... I am not quite sure why it is set to windows authentication - I installed this with Visual Studio 2005 and it just seemed to be set that way.Am I able to change this - if I choose sql authentication when connecting I get an errorIf someone could answer this point I would be most grateful !!Patrick
In an effort to eliminate the need to code accounts and passwords into the VB Com calling stored procedures, I would like to use Windows Authentication. I have setup the account that the com is running under to have access to the database. How does this change my connection string. Do I just drop the account and password parameters or do I need to let it know somehow that I want to use Windows Authentication?
I'm having problems with windows authentication. I'm new to using using Microsoft SQL Server. I just migrated from powerbuilder 8 to powerbuilder 10. I'm using OLE DB and can't get the windows authentication to work within the application. Can anyone help....
Hi, I am wondering that do we need to create the separate login at SQL SERVER (server) for all the user using the application for the windows authentication?
How do the windows authentication works? I have a apllication and SQL SERVER (SERVER) running on the same machine. Any user from the same domain can access the application. Application is interacting with the DB through Windows Authentication. Now my question is whether do we need to authenticate each user from the domain at the DB level. That is to craete the login id for all the user for windows authentication.
