Is there a form of ALTER USER or other option that would allow me to change the Windows-based login associated with a user account?
According to BOL, I cannot use the sp_change_users_login trick since I want to rewire up to a Windows login, not a SQL Server login.

We are looking at developing an SQL Server 2005 Database and I would like to use Windows Authentication rather than SQL Server Authentication to connect our client app.
In our development environment, we have two Servers, one being used as a file server and the other as an SQL Server. We have now set up a domain using the file server as the domain controller. (We had previously been set up to use a workgroup).
I have set up an active directory group called SqlDevelopers and added an active directory user called Jonathan to it.
On the SQL Sever, in management studio, I have set up a new server login which uses windows authentication called DomainSqlDevelopers. I used the GUI to verify I could see the domain and the group.
The default database is set to a test database on the server. A user in the test database is mapped to the DomainSqlDevelopers and given the Roles dbo, db_datareader, db_datawriter.
To test the log in, on the server, I logged out as administrator and in as Jonathan. I could successfully access the server through management studio using windows authentication.
However, if I log in as Jonathan on my client PC and try to access the SQL Server using management studio and windows authentication, I have problems.
The first time I try I will get a timeout error. If I try again will get either:
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection
Or
Cannot generate SSPI context
I can€™t determine any pattern to which of the above errors I get.
However, if I log in as administrator on my client PC, I can connect to the server using management studio and windows authentication.
Sounds like Active Directory/Domain or other Network issue (Not really my area). I would be grateful for any help.
Thanks,
Jon
SQL Server 2005 Express will not allow me to change the password for my login user. I tried deleting the user and re-creating the user. Another password is being put in although the password I put in was accepted. I even test to see what would happen if I left the password blank. It got accepted. But when I look at the password for my login user again, a different and much longer password was put in. I even tried this T-SQL statement:
CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<passwordname>', CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF
I am out of ideals. Is this a bug?
Oracle and Teradata are able to capture the windows/client login that connects to their database with a functionnal ID.I've searched around and I don't think MS SQL can do this...I administer SQL 2014 server and also SAS Enterprise guide product. I've created sql server logins for several teams so everyone shares the same sql server login which is used to bind the SAS library to my SQL server database.
However, when looking at activity monitor, I can't drill down to which user is executing a particular query. I only see the SQL login which is share amongs 200 other folks.On the other hand, when they connect from SAS to Oracle or Teradata, I can see the shared login + additionally their windows NT login used to connect to SAS which is awesome....they can't fool me by using a shared/funcionnal ID....i still see who's using that ID...
My database has a user "dbo" which is dbo of all database objects. The login name for this user is e.g. "Login1". Now I need to change the login name for user "dbo" from "Login1" to a new login name "Login2".
It is not possible to change the related login name of the user "dbo" in the user's properties dialog. And it is also not possible to change or remove the dbo relation in the login name's properties dialog (because a dbo user can not be removed).
Is there any possibility to change the login name of an dbo user? How can I do it?
Good morning,
I'm in the process of creating a report to show employees and managers holiday and absence information. Is there a way of filtering the results of the report based on who is running the report, so that employees could only see their own information and managers could only see theirs and their subordinates information?
What I was hoping to do was create a lookup table which cross-references Windows logins with employee numbers and then use this information to pass a parameter to the SQL query, but I don't know how to retrieve the login from the machine being used to view the report.
I've heard about row level security and it seems ideal in theory but I fear the implimentation of row level security would be far beyond my meagre knowledge.
Any constructive suggestions welcomed.
Thanks,
Paul
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to connect SQL database through code but I get this error,I have spent days to solve it but unfortunately I couldn't...Here is my code in VB express(OP:windows 2000 with SP4)I am new to VB,so it makes the situation more difficult for me.
my code is:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim conn1 As SqlConnection = _
New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;" & _
"Integrated Security=SSPI;" & _
"database=deneme3_database;")
'Open connection
conn1.Open()
MessageBox.Show("Connection succeeded.")
'Close connection
conn1.Close()
MessageBox.Show("Connection closed.")
End Sub
The error message is,it is in german but it is clear I guess:)
" Die von der Anmeldung angeforderte "deneme3_database"-Datenbank kann nicht geöffnet werden. Fehler bei der Anmeldung.
Fehler bei der Anmeldung für den Benutzer 'ADPLANatalay'. "
Thank you in advance!

I am creating a linked server to Sybase via ASE OLEDB provider
The following statement
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = N'QRY1', @locallogin = NULL ,
@useself = N'False', @rmtuser = N'beg', @rmtpassword = N'4502342'
gets error:
Msg 15466, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_addlinkedsrvlogin, Line 91
An error occurred during decryption.
Msg 15185, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addlinkedsrvlogin, Line 98
There is no remote user 'beg' mapped to local user '(null)' from the remote server 'QRY1'.
Did I missed anything?
I'm working on an ASP.NET project, and we're attempting to switch from SQL Server authentication to Windows authentication to connect to the database.
It works fine locally when I debug in Visual Studio, but when it hits the web server, I get the error: "Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."
IIS has anonymous access disabled, and Integrated Windows Authentication is checked. The web.config file has:
<authentication mode="Windows"/><identity impersonate="true"/>
The database I'm attempting to access is on a different machine than IIS, and the connection string doesn't contain a username or password, and has "Trusted_Connection=Yes", and "Integrated Security=SSPI".
From what I've been able to find online, I'm guessing the problem is due to IIS and SQL Server residing on different machines, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Any ideas?
SQL Server 2005 Express keeps putting in a different password than the one I chose. I would check the properties on the login I want to change. Then I change the password and it gets accepted. When I try my web application, I get the dreaded "login failed for <loginname>". I look at the properties again and see my password never change. Is this a bug? I ever tried this syntax to no avail:
CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<mypassword>' CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF
Hi--
I am building an intRAnet website using windows authentication for website access and SQL Server access ( Trusted_Connection = true ).
In IIS I have these settings:
Allow Anonymous = unchecked (false)
Windows Authentication = Checked (true)
Digest windows = checked (true)
In my Web.Config file:
authentication="windows"
impersonate="true"
allowusers="*"
When I pull up the page these are my credentials:
Security.Principal.Windows: mydomainmyuserid (this is correct what it shows on my page)
Me.User.Identity: mydomainmyuserid (this is correct what it shows on my page)
Threading.currentThread.currentUser mydomainmyuserid (this is correct what it shows on my page)
So the ASP.NET page recognizes it is me and my domain. However, when i click a button to pull some data from a database I get the error message: Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
My data access on SQL Server works fine. The weird thing is when I debug on my machine it pulls data fine. but when I copy the files to the windows 2003 server it doesn't work.
Do i have to do something with delegation?
Deleting a Login from a server instance and adding it back did not show that the login was still mapped to databases. In SQL Server 2008, adding a Windows Login did not permit access to end user databases until the Windows Login was mapped to various databases. In SQL Server 2012, once a Windows Login is added to SQL Server Security, it may access ANY end user databaseWe use the following to circumvent this problem, Windows Login by Windows Login: DENY VIEW ANY DATABASE TO [TESTTest1]

I am setting up 4 Windows 2003 server with SQL server 2005 .
I am using a new SAN device and I am setting up over 37 separate devices.
Three of the machines will be the production machines. The fourth machine will
contains log shipped copies of 37 databases.
I would like to keep each the 37 databases on its own device on the new SAN device.
The problem that I am running into is that I can only map drives up to the letter Z .
Is it possible to map more than 26 drives on a Windows 2003 server ?
is any way to select SQL logins that are Mapped To Credentials as using this query I get only NULL:
SELECT credential_id FROM sys.server_principals WHERE name = 'test_login'
I see the list of Mapped Credentials in SQL login properties with GUI, but can not select this option.Â
I am trying to add a linked server from a AMD x64 server (Windows 2003) with SQL Server 2005 64 bit to a Server running SQL 2000. These are not in the same domain.
I can create a linked server using the option "Be made using the login's current security context" but can not when trying to specify the security context, i.e. sa and the sa password. When I try I get the following message:
Msg 15185, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addlinkedsrvlogin, Line 98
There is no remote user 'sa' mapped to local user '(null)' from the remote server 'DTS_FSERVER'.
I have several other x64 server that I have no problem creating a linked server and specifying sa and the sa password.
The problem with using "the login's current security context" option is that I get an error when trying to run any Jobs against the linked server. The job fails withe the following error:
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7416). The step failed.
I'm sure the two errors are related. Any ideas what is going on?
If a user is mapped to "master", (in login properties, user mapping) are they able to access all dbs, even though "master" is the only one with the check mark?

i'm using the Enterpirse library logger to write logs into a database.
When choosing connection string i choose the database i want in the "connection properties" dialog box and
push 'Test connection' button.
everything goes well.
then i open the SQL Server Management studio express and connect to the databse to check some things,
from that point on , when i push the 'Test Connection' button in the Enterprise library i get the error:
"cannot open user default database. Login failed. login failed for user My'server/MyuserName'"
even when i close the sql server manager , it is still stuck - the connection test doesn't work anymore....
it only work when i restart the computer.
why ?
This has been extremely confusing for me.
I want to just make a simple backup.
first of all when i choose the pick a folder to backup, no mapped drives I make are even THERE.
I realize this is probably related to the account being used, okay I thought let me change the user account to a network admin account... I still cannot see the drive.
Can't this thing just accept whatever I tell it to access like any other program??
You would think they would at least keep the standard Open File dialog so we can use the network browser or something...
I've changed my accounts all to NETWORK SERVICE, then LOCAL SYSTEM, then a DOMAIN ADMIN...
I can't get this to work correctly on this freshly installed server... can someone please help?
I'm at the point where I don't care if i have to just re-install the damn thing...
Just someone please tell me what to pick for the accounts.
Bonus: I have this same issue with reporting services and Services for Unix NFS Mapped drives.
How can I map a drive with NETWORK SERVICE Credentials so it finds the datasource path?
I've only been able to do something like this with psexec and Local System.
When logged in as Domain Admin it will show a disconnected network drive that you cant get rid of but system account can use.
I need to determine the following about the current authenticated Windows domain user who is trying to access a SQL Server via a trusted connection.
1 Has the current user been granted login access to the trusted SQL Server?
2 Has the current user been granted access to a specific database?
3 Is the current user a member of a specific database role such as (DB_ROLE_ADMINISTRATORS)?
Thanks,
Sean

Please Help!! Im a beginner to this, so if anyone knows the answer, take baby steps when explaining. Thanks
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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHey Microsoft: this affects development that will eventually sell a lot of seats on SharePoint Server 2007. If you guys and gals can't straighten out this mess, you can't expect custom solutions with custom web parts. So pay attention for your own good. Yes, SPS 2007 is what this is all about. I've created simpe web parts and deployed them, same VS 2005, but I need local development and debugging for more complex stuff. I'm really disappointed that you have no solution for this problem.
I've seen other posts on this, but the result seems to be the same: if you fix it, it's by accident, not by design.
1. I created a blank ASP.NET web site
2. I added a web part manager
3. I added a web part zone
I get the error described above. I have no idea why SQL Server settings are so screwed up.
I've tried all the stuff in the other posts - security settings, command line installation, etc. None of those worked.
The default template(s) don't copy anything into App_Data, nor create an empty folder. I don't know why that is. I have other web sites working just fine, but they use remote SQL databases, or local ones I created, and didn't need profile management (no forms authentication, no web parts, no web zones).
I've also started out with a local database, using SQL Authentication, later moving it to a remote server, and never had any problems. The SQL Server developer edition and Express seem to work just fine. I can also debug stored procs when the .mdf is in App_Data. So the problem isn't one of connectivity.
What would cause the default screw-up? This would seem to point from all directions to a problem with Visual Studio (2005)? The installation is defalt - perhaps some extras included (copy local), but nothing unusual. AJAX for ASP.net is installed, but not used in the above "default web site" trial. Likewise Syncfusion's tools, which work fine on other developer workstations at this same location, all of which are from the same image (purchased at the same time & imaged). That web parts work on other boxes, running all the same management tools (anti-virus, remote sys admin/sms etc.) makes none of those suspect.
I think Microsoft needs to have a clean problem solution and publish it. SP1 certainly doesn't fix it. What's worse is the stupid, lame error message. "I can't open the default database". Well, what did you try? What do you think the default is? What settings are you using? Why is there no debugging information other than the usual worthless trace information showing it's all deep within the ProviderBase and SqlClient namespace code? How is that supposed to be helpful?
If anyone has anything solid, not guesses, I'd like to know.

I am trying to create an application that writes data to a SQL database (studio express).
The application works fine but as soon as I open the table with the SQL server management studio express the application does not work any more displaying the following message:
€œCannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user€¦€?
If I siwtch off and on the computer the problem disappear till the table will be open with the database management studio express!!!!!
How can I solve this annoying problem?

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?

Hi,
I wanted to check the asymmetric key option in sql 2005. I copied the books online code for creating a asymmetric key and then used this key for creating a login. Now when I try to login without entering any password I am receiving 18456 error. I would like to know what I am missing here. If I use CREATE LOGIN from asymmetric key or certificate how do I login and with what credentials. Do I need to provide any password.CREATE ASYMMETRIC KEY PacificSales09

I have a user who cannot login to a .mdb when he is logged
in to Windows, on his workstation or any other.
No one can login to the .mdb when he is logged in to Windows.
He CAN login to the same .mdb if someone else is logged in
to Windows, either on his workstation or any other.
When the user logs in he gets the following error:
MS SQL Server Login

I have removed and recreated the ODBC Connection
while he is logged in. I have tried changing the trusted login to
administrator (in the window that pops up when he fails to connect).
He has the permissions he needs to the .mdb because he can
login under anyone else€™s profile.
I tried copying his profile to a brand new user and ended up
with the same result.
This leads me to wonder if there is some corruption in one
of his profile€™s .dat files or ???
This is the boss€™ account and he does not want to be given a
new username and profile€¦

Hi, I'm new to SQL Express 2005.
I found information regarding : "Cannot open user default database. Login failed."on this forum but I think that in my case it's a bit different issue.
I have a website (ASP.NET 2.0) accessing DB, in the mean time Windows Service tries to update some data in the same DB (Service runs as NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM). The second connection is rejected: "Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user ....".
Problem occurs only when both: service and website are running at the same time. So service and website are running without problems when they are connecting DB exclusively.
My connection string is:
"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="|DataDirectory|spider-lab.mdf";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
I would be grateful if you can help me
