Application Role And SSRS


Hi dear reader

I made an application that uses a Sql Server 2005 Express DataBase.

In the database I made a application role.

When the user logs into my application I run this procedure:

If Not sqlConnectionCR Is Nothing Then

If Not sqlConnectionCR.State = ConnectionState.Open Then

sqlConnectionCR.Open()

SqlConnection.ClearAllPools()

ConsultasSqlCommand = New SqlCommand

ConsultasSqlCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text

ConsultasSqlCommand.CommandText = "sp_setapprole 'appRole', 'drowssap"

ConsultasSqlCommand.Connection = sqlConnectionCR

ConsultasSqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

End If

Else....

I understand that this procedure connects to my sqlserver database as my application role

Ok, so far no problems in reading and manipulating data.

The problem comes with the reports in my application. For example: I have a reportviewer with a serverreport but when I try to show the report gives an error about permissions and grant access....

I think that is because the Server Report uses the user account (domain/user) to read the database. No user (besides admin) has access permissions in the database (only admin and application role).

So, my cuestion is: How can I tell Report Server to use the application role to display reports?

Thank you for your time and help.

Application Role, App Role
 Hi all, I am trying to connect to the database using application role.  But gives an error An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the

Application Role
I am confused . What is considered an application and how SQL would know ?

If I have a web site accessing SQL VIA IIS will SQL Server treat it as an application ? How about MS Excel ?

Also , If I was to use the application of Power builder , using app role , how do control which user can use the app ?

Thanks

Application Role
With reference to Mr. Eric Charron's article about Implementing Application Roles in SQL7, I have used this tips in my application. But I am facing the following problems. I am looking for some solution from this User's Group.

Problem:

I am using application (VB6/SQL7) role. I have number of reports. To display reports I follow the following steps.
1) Open Connection
2) Set application role
3) Execute procedure for the report
4) Close the connection

Since I have no. of reports, I go through the aboue steps no. of times. For first 2 times it works fine but 3rd time, it gives error ie. application role not set properly.

Troubleshooting A New Application Role
Hi all,

This one is a real X FIle, just without Mulder, Scully or the Lone Gunmen!

I have a database, to which access must be restricted via a sole application. So, I have to use an application role. I go in the database and run these statements to add and activate the roles, respectively;

Exec sp_addapprole 'Sirius', 'password'

(The system confirms the role is created.)

Exec sp_setapprole 'Sirius', 'password' 'odbc'

(The system confirms the role is activated.)

Right, now I should not be able to connect using anything but this role, agreed? But here's where things go wrong. I can then successfully connect from another computer by using MS query from Excel, from a login that is not even a member of the Public Role!

I tried again, started and stopped the Server/DTS/Agent services and dropped the old role after each successful login before recreating it. I've checked my syntax exhaustively. I must be doing something wrong, or overlooking something, otherwise MS has a major security problem! (Just hope the Cancer Man doesn't find out!!)

Thanks in advance everyone,


Jaishel.

Security For Application Role
We have an application use Approle to read from database. If the client login to windows as administrator or a name that has the administrator rights, the application can get all data. If the client login to windows as a domain user that has limited rights, the application can't get all data. 
I run profiler and found that it seems, when application use approle to access a database, the login name is the domain user that log into windows.  Is there anybody know what type of right the window login name should have in order to get all data from a database?
 
Second question, when I log in to window as domainusername( username  is not administrator, but has administrator rights). In the profiler, I can see the application use this domainusername access database. However, under sql server login node, I didn't find domainusername. Is this because, the domainusername belongs to buildinadministrator?

Application Role Losing Connection?
Hi,

I'm testing the use of application roles for security. The customer I work for has still a lot of ASP intranet applications running. We're migrating the databases to a SQL Server 2005 server.

I've changed the connection string to a user without any permissions but to log on. After that I use an application role for permission to select different tables and to execute Stored Procedures.

The first queries do execute but after that I get "Permission denied", like I haven't got the application role anymore.

Any ideas?

SQL Server 2005 Application Role's Problem
 

Hi all.

I have developed a VB6 program which will activate an Application Role to UPDATE and INSERT some tables in SQL Server 2005.

My program will login with a username, say USER and then run with the rights of the Application Role which will SELECT, UPDATE and INSERT the following tables:
1) Table A
2) Table B
3) Table C

The USER login is a restricted user which has only SELECT permission to Table A, B and C.

I encounter a problem in which my program can only UPDATE table B and table C but Table A. I have double checked the settings of Table A, Table B and Table C. Theirs are all same. Fyi, the column which can't be updated is of type "datetime".

Once i grant USER login UPDATE permission to Table A, my program works perfectly in which it can UPDATE all the tables including Table A.

I have tried for almost 2 days but am still clueless. Any ideas?

Thank you so much.

Sending SQL 2005 Dbmail When Using Application Role
I am attempting to use dbmail from an application that logs in to my database using an application role.  Since the application role does not exist outside the database, I created an spSendEmail in the database with "execute as login='mailagent'" in it:  I set the database to trustworthy, created a 'mailagent' account and added it to the msdb database with the databasemailuser role rights.

Email works just fine on the server when I use the execute as login='mailagent' to fire off the msdb..sp_send_dbmail.  But from the .NET application, I get the error: "Cannot execute as the server principal because the principal 'mailagent' does not exist, this type of principal cannot be impersonated, or you do not have permission."  When I run my spSendEmail stored procedure from the calling database, I get the same error.

Login Failed For 'user' (Application Role)
I've created a database in SQL Express and I have a Windows form attempting to connect to it through SQL Authentication. Connection string:

private string connString = @"Data Source=.sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=SQLTestDatabase;User ID=SearchAppRole; Password=password;";

The role I have added to the database is an Application Role. It has been added to the Database permissions with Grant checked for "Select" and "Authenticate".

If I test this with query analyzer, it returns expected results (if I remove Grant from 'Select', it fails)

sp_setapprole 'SearchAppRole', 'password'

select * from recipe

If I edit my connection string (for testing purposes) to use the sa account, the application can connect and run the Select statement:

private string connString = @"Data Source=.sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=SQLTestDatabase;User ID=sa; Password=sa_password;";

However, I cannot get the application to successfully logon and run the select statement when using the user id and password of the Application Role. I get error:

Application Role How Query A View Whose Reference Table Is In Another Db?
Hi everybody.
I created  an application role in a database (DB1) and gave it all the rights on a view  in DB1 which refers to a table located in another db (DB2).  I also gave the rights to the app role on a table of  DB1
I tried to use this app. role through the sp_setapprole launched by a user  (server principal?) which is SQL Server administrator (and local administrator (Win 2003 Server)).
With the following query
SELECT USER_NAME()

I see that the approle is being used.
Than, if I query the table on DB1 everything works, but if I query the view, referring a table in db2 I get following error:
 

The server principal "NameOfServerPrincipal" is not able to access the database "DB2" under the current security context.
What should I do to make it work?

The table in DB2 has the same schema of the view in DB1 which refers to it.
I put the DB1 TrustWorthy and both the database have the db_chaining option activated.
 
Any idea on how to solve the problem would be widely appreciated.
Thank you very much.

SSRS Integration With Application
 

To which degree can SSRS integrated with application? I know that we can integrate report viewer in to internal applications. With this we can view different reports within the application. Now, Is there a way we can drive from report viewer back to the application?
 
For example, when we display a report within an application, is it possible to select some of the records within that viewer and send it back to the application. For example, lets say within the application we display a report to display all students in a particular class. What we see is an embedded report within the application. Now, what I want is - I will select checkboxes for some of the students within that report. and when I click delete, it should read all those selected students from that report viewer and send it back to the application which in turn will delete them from that class.

 
Let me know if this is not clear enough....

Help with auto printing report...   
 
I did find the code that it points to -
http://www.csharphelp.com/archives3/archive545.html
 
I can get this to work fine as a console application and a Windows Service but not from a Web Application.  It dies when I get to the point of actually printing it.  I am thinking that this has something to do with the fact that Web applications have limited permissions.  However you can print from the Reporting Services report manager page just by pressing the print button and it is a web application.  I also know that it uses a print control, AKA plug-in. 
 
Do I need to write my own print control to get this to work with my web application or can I just re-use the one that is already being used by SQL Server Reporting Services Report Manger?
 
If I was to write my own print control how would I go about it?

If yes, what do I need to do to be able to write SSRS 2008 reports on my developer PC that will run on the SQL 2005 Server (which also has SSRS 2005 installed on it)?
 
I installed Visual Studio 2008 beta on the development PC and it appears that it needs SSRS installed on it too.  So I installed SQL 2008 SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) and SQL 2008 Workstation Components onto the developer PC.  Next I run the SQL 2008 "Reporting Services Configuration" tool.  When I click on the "Web Service URL" section it hangs indefinitely and I have to force it closed.
 
The developer PC is Windows Vista Business.
 
Any suggestions on making this work, or any other information that you can think of that would allow me to use Visual Studio 2008 and the SQL 2008 "Report Designer Preview" tool to develop SSRS reports that will run on the SQL 2005 SSRS server?
