Is ASP The Only Way For SQL Remote Access Via Internet
Jul 20, 2005
Hi.
I would like to access my database outside of my company. I read many
documents but they are all pertaining to accessing the database via
ASP or some form of web application. Is there no single windows or
linux application tht runs natively to access a remote SQL data base?
Any advise is appreciated. Thanks!!
What is a secure way or accepted method to make database changes,IE: edit tables, add sprocs. ect. on a server being ran by an ASP.NET hosting service across the internet?
SQL 2005 rejects connection from an ASP.net test webpage (shown below).
CONFIGURATION:
Internet > Concast Cable > Router > Sever01 Nic1 > Server01 SBS 2003 & SQL 2005 > Sever01 Nic2 > Switch > Local Area
Linksys Router WRV54G( Firmware Version: 2.39.2): Port Range Forwarding TCP 1433 and UDP 1434
Small Business Server 2003 Premium (Server Name: Server01)
Two network cards: Internet Ionnection and Local Area Network Ran: Configure E-mail And Internet Connection Wizzard Ran: Remote Access Wizzard (disables access to Windows Firewall) Note: Remote workplace, Outlook Web Access, Sharepoint, etc, on ports 443,444, 3389, 4125 All work remotely - so Linksys router and RRAS port settings are working.
Routing And Remote Access(RRAS) >NAT/Basic Firewall > Internet Ionnection > Services And Ports
Added TCP Incoming Port 1433, Private Address 127.0.0.1, Outgoing Port 1433 Added UDP Incoming Port 1434, Private Address 127.0.0.1, Outgoing Port 1434
SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition version 9.0.3042 (installed on same machine, default instance ID MSSQLSERVER)
By default: TCP protocol is enabled and local remote connections are enabled on standard Edition. Also by default: MSSQLSERVER automatic/started/running and SQL Server Browser automatic/started/running
Ran: SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration to confirm MSSQLSERVER instance settings are running. Using: SQL Server Authentication: Login and Password "sa" is a default account that works locally.
SQL Server Configuration Manager:
MSSQLSERVER protocols: Share Memory and TCP/IP enabled TCP port 1433 by default (confirmed listening by ERRORLOG)
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Database Engine lists SERVER01 (instead of SERVER01MSSQLSERVER - the default instance is not named explicitly)
Created database "Test" under SERVER01 > Databases. Created table "tblCategories" in "Test" (included some fields and data)
I have this button on a page at Godaddy.com connecting to an instance of MS SQL provided by Godaddy and there is no problem connecting to that SQL Server.
Public Sub TestSQL_Click(Sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim rdr As SqlDataReader = Nothing Dim conn As SqlConnection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=tcp:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; Initial Catalog=Server01 blCategories; User ID=sa; Password=xxx")
conn.Open()
Dim cmd As SqlCommand = new SqlCommand("SELECT Category FROM tblCategories;", conn) rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader()
rdr.Close() conn.Close() End Sub
ERROR: The follworing error occurs or variations of it depending on different connection string configurations:
Occurs at: conn.Open()
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)
THOUGHTS
Possibly a bad connection string or Microsoft security issue.
I've attempted many other connection string formats such as:
Dim conn As SqlConnection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,1433; Network Library=DBMSSOCN; Initial Catalog=Server01Test; User ID=sa; Password=xxx")
But I continue to receive connection failure messages (or invalid connection string errors for incorrectly formed connection strings).
I've tried disabling RRAS and Windows Firewall and the same errors resulted.
I need to develop an application in vb.net that uses sql server database so that user can access the use the application over the inter net. How Can I accomplish that ? What are the options ?
I was wondering if any body has used Internet as a WAN (Wide AreaNetwork) to provide database access. I know about web services but Ilike to experiment with using Internet as a extended network (webserver behind one router and database behind another). Any ideas onwhere to look for this?Thanks
We are trying to restict internet access from certin computers but, it's still in place because we need to process credit cards. Is it possible to remove internet access and allow our SQL based program to still run credit cards because of the ODBC connection to the SQL server which has internet access?
I know that SQL Server cost plenty to license for internet use...per year. But is there the same costs for MSDE and/or Access? I was recently told that every internet user would have to have a license to use a site that had Access as the database. I'm really not sure how true that is or if its MS support fobbing me off. Anyone know?
How can I access my Microsoft SQL Server 2005 through internet?
For example, I set up a Microsoft SQL Server in one of computers of my company, and every computer in my company has its own IP .They are in the same workgroup. Now, there is no problem with database access with another computer in my company.
Can anyone tell my how to access it through a computer out of my company?
i am new to sql server reporting 2005. i can able to create reports and i can able to access in web pages. But my problem is, my reports and database are in one server, and my web server is differnet. we cant view the reports from internet. How can we slove this. any one can help?
I have report server setup on the same machine where the sql server 2005 db is setup, as well as iis running the website. i simply need to get report server running to allow internet access. I have report server setup so that it is running locally (localhost), however, as soon as I change the iis site settings to a domain name, report server stops working properly. This looks like a permissions issue, Ive tried different combinations of settings, but nothing works. Any insight on how I can get report server setup for internet access (forms authentication), would be much appreciated.
- When I disable "allow remote connections to this server" from server properties>connection page, I can still remotely connect to the server from SSMS...so what is the impact of enable/disabling it?
- what is the impact of changing the remote query timeout (on the same page) from default value?
I have set up an MSDE SQL Server in my Win XP Pro PC and am able to connect to it on the host PC, and over my LAN. However, when I try to connect to it over the Internet my connection is refused with the following message:SQL server does not exist or access denied. ConnectionOpen (Connect())Some background:I have router/NAT firewall and have opened port 1433 (I have even tried a DMZ to the SQL Server machine). The Router is definitely going to the SQL Server PC! I am fairly certain that the connection string is correct.Any help would be most gratefully received.
does anybody know why MS doesnt consider Basic Authentication a viable solution for Inter/Xtra net access to RS? I'm re reading the documentation at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb283249.aspx but so far am not getting what the Security Extension options accomplish that can't be accomplished with much less effort using some form of Basic Authentication.
Hi I have a web application and SQL database on separate SQL 2000 server. I have no admin rights to these servers.The ISP gave me a VPN connection and password to manager my database.If i run the application from my home computer WITH the VPN connected the application works fine.However if i disconnect the VPN or try to run the application from the remote server i get this error:SQL Server does not exist or access deniedI have researched this problem extensively and CANNOT find a solution. The application and SQL 2000 database server are on different computers. The SQL user id and password are different from the VPN connection's.My web config looks like this:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="mappedname" value="username"/> <add key="mappedkey" value="password"/> </appSettings> <system.web> <globalization fileEncoding="utf-8" requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" /> </system.web> </configuration> And the application connection string is as follows:Dim usersql As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("mappedname") Dim passsql As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("mappedkey") connectionString = "data source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;initial catalog=databasename;" connectionString &= ";user id=" & usersql connectionString &= ";password=" & passsql I am obviously missing something. Not sure what or how to pass the permissions on properly.Can some kind soul please help me with this problemThank YouJeff
How can I access Sql server via a remote access tools. I want to be able to use somekind of software to be able to work on a server as if I am physically there. I would appreicate your input about this issue.
Hi all, I encounter a problem of unable to access Remote Server after i placed my web application into the web server. An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.) So I googled and tried lot of different ways of connecting.By piped name, IP, trying instance which that server don't even have one :X.I also tried typing in cmd > telnet localhost 1433It appeared that the telnet fail, i tried it on other machine, it works. So is it cause by denied of access through that port?I checked at the sql client network, it show 1433, i check the server too, it show 1433.I also checked if there's any firewall, it appear there is no firewall at all.The sql server i trying to connect is SQL 2000, it run by Windows Server 2003 Any advise or more information you needed to help me solve this problem?Thanks

I'm using SQL Server to store session state. The Sql Server is on the local network but not on the web server. I use impersonation and use account credentials for the ASPNET worker process:
I've checked and given the user i'm impersonating the ability to do everything. I've granted access on all necessary files, added them to the DB and made the user a db_owner of the ASPState table. I can log in to a machine as the user, then access sql server using the windows authentication. I granted 'act as part of the operating system', 'access this computer from a network', 'log on as a service', 'log on as a batch job' on both the remote computer hosting sql server and the web server.
The strange thing is i installed the asp session state tables on my development machine, using the same configuration file to run everything, and was able to add an object to session state without any problem. But when i specify the remote server, i'm denied.
i use that to connect to the remote SQL server, which has status of port 1433 at "Stealth"... do i need to open the port complete, if yes how i do that ?
I want to access the other server from my Enterprise Manager by using <server_name>.<db_name>.<tab_name>.<procedure>/table_name.
Pls. let me know the steps I have to take I have added two remote logins in both the server. I also gave trusted right by using sp_remoteoption procedure and still I get the message 'the object <server_name> not accessible>
Please reply at the earliest, as I am right noe accessing the other servers data by bcp-out and bcpin into this server.............
I am trying to access SQL server remotely (over the internet). I would like to use query analyser as my front end tool. Can anyone point out the procedure to do the same. I have the IP address and the host string.
I have problem with my SQL server. When I want to connect from localhost, its OK. But, when i want to connect it from other computer, i will recive this message: Timeout expire. If I try connect in enterprise manager of client, i will receive SQL Server does not exist or access denied. I have selected Mixed mode and I am not using firewall.
I have an MS SQL Server 2000 database running on a local area network. The database contains product info that I would like to use to populate a web catelog being hosted off site.
Can someone point me in the right direct regarding common practices for using this product database, which is updated on a regular basis, to update my Web catelog?
I was thinking periodically the Web server could remotely query my product database for new entries (this does not need to be real time).
My ISP provide MS SQL Server. I can create my database name, dbusername and dbpassword through control panel and then I can access the database in ASP using this connection string "Provider=SQLOLEDB;UID=dbusername; PWD=dbpasword".
Before, I could also use my enterprise manager to create a new sql server registration using my web url, dbusername and dbpassword. But now it seems that my ISP blocks the port or something and ask me do everything through the control panel.
Does anyone have some idea to connect to a remote server thorough enterprise manager based on the infromation I have?
I am having issues with MSAccess and MS SQL for a new client. It worked in the past, but I cannot talk to the old computer guy?!# Here's the scoop. It uses an Access front end and ODBC to conect to the MS SQL 7.0 server. In the office they use a system DSN named DATA to connect using NT authentication. I've got the firewall configured for the two employees static ip addresses to goto the MS SQL server. On the remote machines, I have added a system DNS named DATA as well that uses MS SQL authentication. I setup the remote user accounts on the MS SQL server. Now heres the problem. I can test the ODBC from the remote omputer and it works.At first I could not get into teh database at all. I went in and updated the Access file connection strings to include a username and password. Now I can get into the Access front end and access the main page. (IT has a couple of buttons - Shpping, Inventory, Management, etc.) I can even click on these buttons and pull up the next page. (For example I can click on the management button and pull up a list of new buttons- one of which is Auto Exec Bob) NOw when I click autoexec bob or any of the others it takes a while and then give me an error. (SQLState 28000 MS SQL error: 18452 Login failed for user null. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server Connection.) If I click ok then I have a box that lets me uncheck the use trusted connection and sign in using my remote username and pass that I setup. Eventually I can access everything - one step at a time.Each time it tries to connect to the database it takes about thirty seconds to time out, then gives me this error message and I can log on again. Any help to sort this out would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Exec sp_configure remote access running values is "1" by default. If set the value "0", what will be impact on both server and client side?
1. Client side: remote access option value is "1", it mean to allows executing stored procedure in remote client side by using SSMS. server itself does working all SP which was passed by through application(remote application server even SQL port enabled between application DB and App servers).
Impact: value is "0" developer does not able execute SP their Client SSMS side after connecting established in DB server.
2. Server side Impact: Does it working Linked server if value is "0?
