Due to the 'interesting' set up of AD, email etc we are unable to send reports as attachments.
It would appear that it is trying to authenticate the user to see if they have permission to view the report, as though they were viewing it in real time.
Is there any way to override this behaviour?
If not then all we can do is email them a link to the report, which sort of defeats the object.
I'm using (SQL RS 2005) data-driven subscription with Delivery by: Email.
How do I prevent that an E-mail is sent when the result set is empty?
(I don't wan't to do this in the select statment where I select my subscribers and parameters for the report)

Hello,
(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.
Any ideas??
Hi all,
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?
Thanks.
Hi all,
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.
Thanks!
Hi,I'm using SQL Server 2005. My Connection String looks like that at the moment: <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=xx;Initial Catalog=xx;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xx;Password=xx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> Now I'd like to change this kind of authentication to Integrated Windows AuthenticationI added the WorkerProcess IIS_WPG to the permitted Users but it didn't help.Changed the Connection String to this:connectionString="Server=xx;Database=xx;Trusted_Connection=True;"All I'm getting is that my NetworkService is not permitted to access DB when I try to connect to the DB in ASP.NET.How can I properly configure that? Thanks!

Would anyone please help me out here. which of the 2 modes of authentication is better and why??
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
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.
Thanks

Hi.
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?
Hi,
I need to figure out what kind of Authentication , I need to use for following applicaiton
Product : -
1 ) It resides on a its Domain and has access to Database on that Domain.
2 ) We have a application level login , n based on application login id
display specific pages.
The question that bother me is this
Q ) If i use NT authentication , then a user will be required to
a ) Login to domain (with userid and password) first and then
b ) Then i would require to again login to applicaiton with application
level login and password.(different levels of login as there)
Based on the application level login i will display only specific
asp pages. They have different access rights..and roles.
Requirment is to login only once..and it should authenticate to application display specific pages and authenticate to SQl server database also..
Is there any way thru which i can map my application level login to SQl server.. and what authentication should i use..
Thanks,
Teny
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.
Thanks
I am building my first ASP.Net app from scratch and while working on the DAL I came across the problem of SQL Injection. I searched on the web and read different articles but I am still unsure about the answer. My question is should I add
db.AddInParameter(dbCommand, "AvatarImageID", DbType.Int32, avatarImageID);
Add in Parameters to my C# code to avoid SQL Injection. What is the best practice. I am unclear if the stored procedure already helps me avoid SQl Injection or if I need the add in parameters in the C# methods to make it work. I need some help. Thanks, Newbie
My C# update method in the DAL (still working on the code)
private static bool Update(AvatarImageInfo avatarImage)
{
//Invoke a SQL command and return true if the update was successful.
db.ExecuteNonQuery("syl_AvatarImageUpdate",
avatarImage.AvatarImageID,
avatarImage.DateAdded,
avatarImage.ImageName,
avatarImage.ImagePath,
avatarImage.IsApproved);
return true;
}
I am using stored procedures to access the data in the database.
My update stored proc
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[syl_AvatarImageUpdate]
@AvatarImageID int,
@DateAdded datetime,
@ImageName nvarchar(64),
@ImagePath nvarchar(64),
@IsApproved bit
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from

SET NOCOUNT ON;
BEGIN TRY
UPDATE [syl_AvatarImages]
SET
[DateAdded] = @DateAdded,
[ImageName] = @ImageName,
[ImagePath] = @ImagePath,
[IsApproved] = @IsApproved
WHERE [AvatarImageID] = @AvatarImageID
RETURN
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH

EXECUTE [dbo].[syl_LogError];
--Being in a Catch Block indicates failure.

I want to try and protect myself from my own stupidity. I have a number of sql databases, but one is LIVE. It is easy to drop tables but I want to set something (e.g. a password) which will help prevent me from dropping tables on the live database.

Hi,I'm using SQL Server 2000 MSDE on a laptop running Windows XP.I have a couple of SP's that that quite some time to compile. So I waswondering: is there any way to have the database *not* recompile them everytime after a reboot?BOL says: "As a database is changed by such actions as adding indexes orchanging data in indexed columns, the original query plans used to accessits tables should be optimized again by recompiling them. This optimizationhappens automatically the first time a stored procedure is run afterMicrosoft® SQL ServerT 2000 is restarted."Now the SQL Server is restarted a lot, because laptops don't have endlessbatteries <g>Cheers,Bas

I noticed a spelling mistake in the data in a column of several tables, I used the following syntax to alter the spelling:
UPDATE [dbo].[Prod_Cat] SET [ProdName]=N'merseyside' WHERE ProdName = 'mmserseyside'
The above code correctly updated the spelling error, but it also inserted a new row with the corrected data.
So I found myself with two Identical rows containing the corrected information. I had to manually delete the extra row. Because if I had put in a DELETE statement, I would have then lost both rows.
What do I need to do to prevent this happening next time. As I find that I need to update the names of some products, but I don't want to duplicate them.

How can I prevent duplicate inserts or entries to a table?
Thank you.
Note: I am using SQL Server and coding ASP.net pages in VB.
this is a question I put in the sql community in microsoft, but havent be answered in full
------------
I am using dynamic sql to do a query with differents 'order' sentences and/or 'where' sentences depending on a variable I pass to the sp
ex:
create proc ex
@orden varchar(100)
@criterio varchar(100)
as
declare consulta varchar(4000)
set consulta=N'select pais from paises where '+@criterio' order by '+@orden
------------
I'd like to know it it uses 2 sp in the cache, as I read, the main sp and the query inside the variable of the dynamic sql. if so, as I imagine, then I suppose I have to do the main sp without any 'if' sentence to be the same sp, and so taking it from the cache and not recompile the sp
now, I have various 'if' sentences in the main sp (the caller of the dynamic sql) but I plan to remove them and do the 'if' by program -it is in asp.net-, so I suppose it is better because in this way the main sp is took from the cache, supposing this uses the cache different that the dynamic sql in the variable
what do u think? does the dynamic sql use 2 caches? if so, u think it is better to try to do the main sp same in all uses (no 'if' statements)?
-----
They told me this coding is not good (dynamic sql) because it can give control to the user?
I ask, how does it give control to use? what ar sql injection attack and how to prevent them?
I use dynamis sql because I have 150 queries to do, and thought dynamic sql is good
is it true that dynamic sql have to be recompiled in each execution? I suppose so only if the sql variable is different, right?
can u help me?
Hi,
On my site I have a simple textbox which is a keyword search, people type a keyword and then that looks in 3 colums of an SQL database and returns any matches
The code is basic i.e. SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column1 LIKE %searcg%
There is no validation of what goes into the text box and I am worried about SQL injection, what can I do to minimize the risk
I have just tried the site and put in two single quotes as the search term, this crashed the script so I know I am vunerable.
Can anyone help, perhaps point me in the direction of furthur resources on the subject?

I have a web form that I use to insert data into a sql database. I want to know how to prevent inserting duplicate records into the database. Thanks.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to read and update a value in the database without entering a race condition.
For example:
User #1 reads a row from the database, changes a value then writes the value back.
User #2 reads the same row AFTER user #1 has read it, but BEFORE user #1 writes it back. User #2 then changes the value and writes it back, overwriting the value that user #1 wrote.
I thought I could do this with transactions, but it just makes user #2 wait until user #1 is done writing before user #2 can write. It doesn't stop user #2 from reading while user #1 has it out.
Does that make sense?

Is there a way to monitor all ODBC connections to a MSSQL server and prevent a username/ODBC combination. My problem is that we have many frontends for viewing reports, but we managed them all and users are not allow to make their own connections. Some users now uses MSAccess over ODBC to draw their own reports - they have all the permissions as neededd by the other apps.
thanx
