I would like to add a new data source to my windows application using SQL server authentication. When I made the connection it did not have any problem. When I add the tableAdapter control it give me the message:
"login fail for user id(user name).
Please help me.

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?
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

(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!

Hi,
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 have 7.0 server running with sp2 on NT box sp 5. This Sql server is configured to take both sql and NT authentication. Somehow, the bridge between NT and SQL server doesn't seem to be working as sql server does not recognize any NT authentication. Is there any way to fix it?
Because of this problem, I am unable to schedule any DTS package as sql server security doesn't recognize the sqlagent startup account and gives a login failure error.
I am about to open a ticket with Microsoft but before that if anybody can suggest me anything..
Thanks,

I have an SQL Server (2000 Edition) that does not belong to a domain; Server A. (It loggs onto its own computer domain). From this server I would like to add another sql server registration through Enterprise Manager that does belong to a domain; Server B (also 2000 Edition).
The only way I can register Server B on the Server A computer is by logging onto the domain that Server B belongs to.
Is it possible to just use SQL Server authentication and not have Server A logon to the Server B domain? If so what could I be doing wrong?
When Server A is logged onto its own local computer domain I can ping Server B and also resolve the server by name.
Any suggestions?
Many Thanks,
Timbo.

1. Open Microsoft SQL ServerManagement Studio Express
2. In Object Explorer right click on first (Server) node
3. Select 'Properties'
4. Select Page 'Security'
5. set 'Server authentication' to 'SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode'
6. press OK
7. in popup window fill password ******** and press OK
8. get error message ''operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.

I am trying to setup cached reports so that one of my larger reports doesn't have to be re-run every time someone wants to view it (the data source only updates every 24 hours).
Anyway I made a new data source, set the report to use that, and in that data source I said to use "SQLexampleUserName" as the stored credentials.
Now when I go to run the report it says: Login failed for user 'username'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
This is referenced in the MSKB here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555332
Which makes sense, but now my question is: If I want to used a cached report do I HAVE to allow SQL Server Credentials?
I was using Windows Authentication only up to this point.
Hello,
I have just created some SSIS package.
Some package has connection to remote SQL Server 2005 by SQL server authentication mode (not windows).

Do you know how to keep the connection persistent?

Viual Studio 2003; ASP.Net; .Net Framework 1.1, SQL Server 2000Hi,We have two domains in our network - prod.domain.com and dev.domain.com. There is no trust relationship between the two domains. I am trying to connect to an SQL Server in dev.domain.com using SQL Server Authentication from prod.domain.com. My connection string uses the fully qualified domain name (xxxxxx.dev.domain.com) to connect. The error I receive is SQL Server does not exist or access denied. I can access the database through SQL Query Analyser and SQL Enterprise Manager across the domains with no problems. I can also connect through a .udl file using the same SQL Server Authentication information.If I run my application from dev.domain.com accessing a database that sits in prod.domain.com then the connection is fine.Can someone point me in the direction of any areas I can troubleshoot to see what is preventing the connection please? The only things I can see on the web are details of windows authentication across domains which isn't relevant to me in this instance. I've been pulling what little hair I have out over this for the last week.Thanks in advance.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am new to the whole ASP .NET scene, so my knowledge is very limited, and if I’m not clear enough please let me know. I am reading a book published by APress about ASP .NET with C# and I am at the point where I get to begin working with data (fun!!). The problem is that I’m not able to connect to the SQL Server. I have Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005 running on a separate machine than the computer that I use for development – the server is named THESERVER, the SQL server is named THESQLSERVER, and the computer I use for development is my laptop named MYLAPTOP. So here’s my connection string (I put this in my web.config XML file):<add name="Pubs" connectionString="DataSource=THESERVERTHESQLSERVER; Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Securit=SSPI"/> Now here’s what my book reads: For Windows authentication to work, the currently logged-on Windows user must have the required authorization to access the SQL database. This is all it says about Windows authentication because the book assumes that I am running MS SQL Express off localhost. Questions: Does the book mean that I will have to add a user to my server for my laptop? If so, how do I log into this user using the connection string?What does it mean by “the current logged-on Windows user”? Is that referring to the user on my laptop, or a user on the server? I’ve been reading around trying to find more information on exactly how Windows authentication works, but I keep coming up dry. I know that much of this is probably trivial to a lot of you, which is why I am asking because it isn’t to me. Well, thanks in advance for any help that you can provide me.

I have setup ODBC to connect to a SQL Server 200 database (evaluation version) so I can link tables into an Access database. In the ODBC setup, I selected SQL Server Authentication versus Windows Authentication. However, when I link a table into Access it still uses Windows Authentication first.
I found an article here that discusses the issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q279526
It suggested that I run an MDAC update to version 2.6. So I did that and I still have the same problem.
I tried to link a table through some code in Access by changing the connect string to "Trusted_Connection=No" but it still linked up with "Trusted_Connection=Yes".
So how do I use SQL Server Authentication only?
If I set up my DSN using SQL Server Authentication am I then compelled to use a connection string to connect to the database (in order to supply the user name and password).
At the moment every time my application tries to connect to SQL Server on a PC that has a DSN set up using SQL Server Authentication, a Login box pops up.
Hello,
I'm writing some software for clients and the connection is done via de username passwd methode, not windows authentication. One of the salespeople is creating FUD now, talking about a "major security leak" because, if someone has the username / password, he can view the data in the mssql database. ( seems normal to me for a username/password combination - winNT or not - but this news can be shocking to the uninitiated)
Is there any paper on his comprehensionlevel that deals with this issue?
Or you've got an opinion on this?
Thanx for any pointers,
