Config And Connection String
Apr 26, 2007
I want to store my connection string in a configuration file, however when I create the config file the connection string password is not stored. I can manually edit my config file and add the password to my connection string but I am sure that BIDS has a better solution. What is the best practice for storing connection string passwords in my SSIS Configuration files?

Using The Web Config File To Set The Connection String In Asp.net 1.1
Sep 26, 2007Currently we have a 1.1 app that sets the connection string as a Application variable, we are wanting to change that and place it in the web config file, when I do this in 2.0 it's a simple process but in 1.1 it's different. It doesnt seem to like the <connection string> tag, does it go in the appsettings tag and if so what should it look like and how is it referenced.
View 2 Replies View RelatedJDBC Connection To MS SQL With Windows Authentication
Jun 30, 2005Environment -
I am using Tomcat as my servlet engine and IIS as the Server. Additionally, I am using MS SQL 2000 as my DB. The DB resides on a seperate machine, and have created an ODBC JDBC connection on the local machine to access it. Additionally, the authentication for the DB is set to "Windows Authentication".
Problem -
Everything works fine if I simply run tomcat and access the databse. Also, things run fine when I run tomcat via IIS too. However, when I try accessing the database, I get the error
Login failed for user '<username>'
Now, the funny part is, this username is actually the username of the local machine on which the application has been placed. It is not the username that I am providing in
con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc : odbc : DBName","username","password"); /* had to add in extra spaces to stop this site from substituting :+D.etc to smiles*/
Can someone please help me figure it out?? Why is it working when I run the tomcat (Apache) and run the application from there, but ones I run it via IIS, it fails. Also, why is it taking the username from the local machine and not the one that I am providing out there?
Windows Authentication Connection Problem
Feb 1, 2007I belive this issue maybe to do with the domain or the network, but since I don't know how to diagnose the problem exactly I've posted here as the starting point.
When connecting to Sql Server 2005 using Windows Authentication, the first attempt will fail, but subsiquent attempts suceed.
It fails with a message of the connection attempt timeing out.
This happens when directly using SMO or using the Management Studio (which I belive also uses SMO but at a more raw internal level).
If I use Sql Authentication then I can log on fine.
Also when in Management Studio frequently opening a diagram or modifying a table and other general tasks will take an unsually long time.
Other things like outlook (working with exchange) are also playing up a bit which leads me to think its a domain problem. Recently all passwords were changed so maybe something somewhere needs flushing?
Does anyone have any suggestions for helping to diagnose the problem?
How To Change The Connection String In A Web.config File
Mar 9, 2007I've recently uploaded my website, http://www.bigredsongbus.com, to my host. Unfortunately, they don't support the use of SQL Server Express. So, I've purchased an addon through my host - discountasp.net. I've attached my database file to their server, now all that I need to do is to change the connection string in my .config file so that it points to the SQL Server. I don't know how to do this. Any help, please?Jeffrey Way
View 2 Replies View RelatedReferring To Sql Connection String In Web.config From Code Behind
May 15, 2007Every time I move my project from my computer to the testing server I have to change the connection string references in the aspx side and in my code behind.
For the code behind I declared the SqlConnection string at the top of the code-behind page for both connection strings and comment out the one not in use. Obviously I then comment out the string not in use in the WebConfig as well.
Being superlatively lazy I always look for the easiest and quickest way to do most anything - connection strings included. Having to comment out strings twice brought rise to the question of whether I can refer to the connection string in the web.config file from the code-behind page. I'm sure it can be done, and I did a good amount of hunting around, but I couldn't find any examples of code that would do that.
Currently, as I said above, I have two connection strings declared at the top of my code-behind. Here's an example of one:Private sqlConn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=DATABASESERVER;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;User ID=USER;Password=PASSWORD")
Then, I just use sqlConn as usual in my binding without having to "dim" it in every sub:sdaPersonnel = New SqlDataAdapter(strSqlPersonnel, sqlConn)
Then there's the SqlConnections set up by the wizard on the aspx side:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqlDataSourcePayrollCompany" Runat="Server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DATABASECONNECTIONSTRING %>" ...>
And for the connection in the web.config:<add name="DATABASECONNECTIONSTRING" connectionString="Data Source=DATABASESERVER;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;User ID=USER;Password=PASSWORD" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
So, what would be the code in the code-behind page to refer to the connection string in the web.config file?
Thanks!

Dynamic Connection String (config File)

View 3 Replies View RelatedQuestion On Connection To SQL Server Using Windows Authentication
Mar 5, 2004I have a domain user account through which I can log on a machine. The machine allows me to use this domain user account to create DB in SQL Server using windows authentication. How can I define a connection string to connect SQL Server? My connection string is like:
string str = "server=(local);uid='"+userName+"';password='"+password+"';database='master';connection timeout=15";
This one works on another machine where I use SA account. But this one does not work using windows authentication. I tried to use domainnamemyname as user name, but failed.
Could any one give me some suggestion?
Unable To Connect To DB Using Windows Authentication When Using VPN Connection?
May 5, 2012I am not able to connect to SQL Database server using windows authentication when I am connected through VPN connection.However I am able to connect to same server using SQL server authentication and also able to do RDP to DB server machine.
I found a resolution in one of the forum suggesting to change UserRasCredentials to 0 value in *.pdk file.Since VPN connection which I am using generates instant proxy this resolution doesn't work.
Also application which I am using does windows authentication connection it is required for me to impersonate windows authetication when connected using VPN.
Web.config Connection String Being Used Based Off Enviroment Or Domain?
Feb 20, 2007I used 3 seperate web.config files - one for Development seerver, one for Certification server, and one for Production server. The only difference between these three is the within the <connectionStrings> tags.
For Example:
<connectionStrings><add name="strConn" connectionString="server=xxx;uid=xxxx;pwd=xxxxx;database=yyy;"/></connectionStrings>
Within Development the connectionString points to the Development SQL server, Cert to cert SQL, and Prod to Prod SQL. I do not have permissions to copy new Web.Config files into Cert or Prod, so when I have a change within my web.config I have to have another group manually add these files.
Is there a way to identify the domain I am curernt within and use a specific set of connections string within the web.config based off this information. If so, can anyone post an example of how to do this...

View 1 Replies View RelatedSql Authentication = Fast./ Windows Authentication = V.slow!
Mar 25, 2004Hello,
(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??
Using SQL Authentication And Windows Integrated Authentication Concurrently
May 15, 2006Hi 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.
Authentication An Application Using Windows Integrated Authentication
May 12, 2006Hi 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!
Regarding Web.config For Sql Server Authentication
Oct 25, 2005Hi All,
I have a query. I want to use sql server authentication
for my asp.net application. I have created a seperate username and

password to establish the connection thru web.config. In web.config, I
don't want to give the username and password of sql server. Instead, I
want to get those details in other ways. Please tell me how to handle
the connection string with more security?

View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing Windows Authentication V/s Mixed Authentication
Dec 18, 2006Hi,
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

Report Manager With Forms Authentication. Report Server With Windows Authentication.
Feb 1, 2008Hi.
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?
Sql Authentication Vs. Windows Authentication
May 31, 2007I 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
