Using Windows Authentication V/s Mixed Authentication


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
Santhosh

Changing From Windows To Mixed Authentication
Hi AllI am trying to switch from Windows to Mixed mode authentication on SQLServer 2000. I am right-clicking the server instance in EnterpriseManager and selecting the correct option from the Security tab.Unfortunately, the change I make does not persist when I click OK. Iget no error message, but when I re-open the server properties, theoption has returned to being Windows authentication.Any ideas?Thanks,Kulgan.

Mixed Mode Vs. Windows Authentication
I am trying to create a query that can determine if a user id is using mixed mode/windows/both authentication.  I need to do this so that it can run on both sql server 2000 and 2005, meaning I can't use any of the sys.* views.  Is there a single query  could use for both systems?

Sql Authentication = Fast./ Windows Authentication = V.slow!
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??

Using SQL Authentication And Windows Integrated Authentication Concurrently
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.

Authentication An Application Using Windows Integrated Authentication
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!

Mixed Authentication
Hi All,We have started to get the strangest errors with our SQL Server. We useWindows and SQL Server authentication, and have done successfully forthe last year or so. However last week i had trouble connecting to theenterprise manager with my domain credentials. Users connecting to QueryAnalyser have no problems when using their SQL Server logins, the issueonly seems to arrise when a Domain account is provided forauthentication. If we reboot the server all is well for about 1 - 2hours and then we loose the Domain credentials again. Even SQL Agentfails to work when stated with the DOMAINAdministrator account!As i said this has worked for a long time, and we have not made anychanges to the Domain or installed any patches for any of the servers.The error messages normally involve something along the lines of "NoUser 'NULL' blah blah" and "No Trusted SQL Server". We also have anexcel report that is failing with the SQL Server error number 18452. Ihave looked this up on MSDN, and this seems to fall in to the samecategory as our other errors.Any Ideas?We can't reboot the server every 2 hours!*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Mixed Authentication
In the scenario where you are installing MSDE/SQL Server at a customer site (not your own) is this true:

Assuming the customer has a (Windows) login with admin rights (or is a member of the admins group) over the PC which the server was installed on, there is no way of locking the customer out of any part of the SQL Server installation and its databases as Mixed Authentication (which you can't turn off) will always allow members of the (Windows) admins group to also be a member of the SQL Server admins group???

Mixed Authentication Mode
Hello



I would like to set 'SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode' of Sql Server 2005 so when user connects to Server he must supply username and password. Here are steps I make :



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. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.SqlManagerUI)

How correctly to set above Server mode ?

Why I get the error message and how to solve it ?

Questions On A Mixed-mode Authentication
First post, so greetings!I've been using ASP.NET 2 authentication from an MS SQL 2k5 database now in the web application for my company's customer accounts (file serving, custom webreports, etc).  There is currently no support for employees through this web app, but in our plan to go paperless it's become of interest to let the employees access much of their information through the same web portal.  The catch is, I'd rather not make them have to use two accounts (one for their domain authentication and one for their web authentication).  It's already taken a lot of conditioning to get them to memorize a single username and password.So what I really need is the single Login.aspx page to accept both ASP.NET logins and Domain digest logins, and the Domain digest login needs to be HTTP based (not named pipes).  Is this possible at all, and if so, is it possible without making an isapi filter?  After all, Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access is served by the exchange server and accepts active directory passwords.  So how could I do authentication in this way, and if so, is it possible to have the Outlook Web Access form be accessible from the same session as that of my web server? Thanks, I surely hope someone can help. . . -Brandon

Report Manager With Forms Authentication. Report Server With Windows Authentication.
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?

Problem Connecting To A SQL Server Database With Mixed Authentication
I have created a Web Service created that have to connect to a SQL Server 2005 Database with mixed authentication. If I use the "virtual IIS" provided by Visual Studio I retrieve data, but if I put the project in local IIS, using localhost, I get an error in the connection, it says that I can´t connect with the user ' ' to the database.
I solved it adding <identity impersonate="true" to the web.config file in the web service, but now I can´t connect from the client side, the error i get is "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied." I don´t have any idea of how to impersonate the client side, I´ve tried to add the same line to the app.config, but it´s not recognised.
Any help would be appreciated.

Mixed Mode Authentication Interaction With .NET - Strange Problem
I did my best to search through the knowledge base and the forum here to see if my question had been asked and answered before, but I wasn't able to find anything specific. My apologies in advance if this has been discussed.

I'm running into a very strange situation in the environment that I support. We are looking at making a number of changes to our infrastructure, and one of the changes requires us to segment the SQL servers away from the domain. As part of that we'll be switching our application (.NET 2.0 / C#) from using Windows/Integrated security to SQL security.

We made the change today in our test environment and are running into a very strange issue that I'm hoping someone can shed some light on. We are seeing blocking in the database when using SQL authentication that we do NOT see when using Windows authentication. A set of transactions that complete under Windows authentication block themselves under SQL authentication and time out. The permissions between the SQL user and the Windows user are identical, so I don't see that as an issue. I even went as far as to give both users SA rights for the purposes of eliminating that from the equation. Even with SA the same behavior exists.

Has anyone run into this before? From all of the documentation I've been able to find, there isn't anything about a SQL authenticated user that would force it to adhere to a different locking model/transaction isolation level as opposed to a Windows user. I'm really at a loss as to where to look. This happens in each of our environments, on different hardware and different installations, so I don't think that is part of it.

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you.

Set Password To Database On SQL Server 2005 Express Running In Mixed Authentication Mode
Just like with Access DB, can we set password for database in SQL Server 2005 Express ?

Reason to do so is,  user with Login having  sysadmin previliage can acess all databases in SQL server.

so just want to restrict database access to only those users who knows the password.

Is there any possible solution ? Pls comment.

Sql Authentication Vs. Windows Authentication
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

Cached Reports REQUIRE That SQL Server Used SQL Server Authentication (or Mixed)?
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.

Anyone have ANY idea of what is going on here? This is really a big problem for production code to lag and throw back timeout errors everytime someone wants to run a report. Thanks!

Windows Authentication
Hi all,You're all stars, really helpful. Maybe one day i can be :)My question is regarding the authentication in Windows SQL Server 2005.We have setup a sa account. We purchase software from a third partythat runs on it. Before their software logs on the sql server as sa,and does its own access control, windows autentication takes over. Itslogs users on correctly i guess, using a more secure link via thedomain. However, I am probably blind, but where can we assign rights toeach domain user? I.e. stop XXY dropping tables, but allow ABC to droptables?I had a brief look through but could not find anything that stood out,in the SQL Manager.ThanksDavidP.S This is SQL Server 2005 Workgroup edition running on a 2003 windowsdomain server. Alongside a SQL 2000 server, which is running fine usingsa accounts.For those in the same timezones as me... have a good evening.

Hi! Happy New Year!I'm having windows authetication connection problem. Although I cansee all the servers by using SQL Server authentication conncection, Ican see only some of the SQL family servers by using windowsauthentication connection. I checked the servers' properties of that Ican and can't see, but couldn't find any difference. Can someone giveme a direction that will enable me to debugg?If the servers are not in the same domain, how can I see them (windowsauthentication) from the same PC (client)?For some SQL server I even can not login via windows authentication atterminal server. Is any specific setup I should do at server?Thanks!Saiyou

Windows Authentication
Hi,
I am wondering that do we need to create the separate login at SQL SERVER (server) for all the user using the application for the windows authentication?

How do the windows authentication works? I have a apllication and SQL SERVER (SERVER) running on the same machine. Any user from the same domain can access the application. Application is interacting with the DB through Windows Authentication. Now my question is whether do we need to authenticate each user from the domain at the DB level. That is to craete the login id for all the user for windows authentication.



Thanks,

Using Windows NT Authentication
Hello,

I'm trying to use Enterprise Manager in Windows 95, and attempting to
connect to SQL Server with Windows NT Authentication but get message:

Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL
Server Connection.

I can connect okay using SQL Server Authentication.

How can I connect using Windows NT Authentication?

It's SQL Server 7 and protocol TCP/IP I'm using.

Any help would be appreciated.

Windows Authentication
In an effort to eliminate the need to code accounts and passwords into the VB Com calling stored procedures, I would like to use Windows Authentication. I have setup the account that the com is running under to have access to the database. How does this change my connection string. Do I just drop the account and password parameters or do I need to let it know somehow that I want to use Windows Authentication?

Thanks,

Windows Authentication With OLE DB
My organization is in transition of converting from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.
Conversion from Visual C++  6.0 to Visual C++ 2005 is done.
The converted Visual C++ code has OLE DB and has only native code(== no managed code).
The OLE DB uses user name and password information to log into SQL Server 2000.
Microsoft recommand to use Windows Authentication for security reason.
I was informed that Basic Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, or Mixed Authentication
allows OLE DB connectivity with user id and password.
However, I have tried but have not figured out how to use same OLE DB with user Id and password
information to access SQL Server 2005 with Windows Authentication.
Is it possible to use Windows Authentication with OLE DB connectivity with user id and password?
If so, I would greatly appreciate sharing your findings.
 
Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Windows Authentication
We have an application that uses SQL Server 2005 (Express) as its database server.

 

We have SQL server and the application database on our server.

 

To setup the application we need to point it to our database from the clients and specify authentication as either SQL server or Windows Integrated Authentication. We chose Windows Integrated Authentication. This works fine for an administrator user but for a standard user with non administrator privileges , authentication fails and we cant access the database. The client is running Visa Business with UAC on. If I run the application as adminisrator and enter the administartor username and password then I can connect otherwise it is rejected.

 

How can I can configure SQL server to allow non administrator users to access it using Windows Integarted Authentication.

 

The server is running SBS 2003

 

Thanks

Windows Authentication
I've got an application that's supposed to use a combination of Windows authentication and Custom authorization, here's how.

Only the administrator can add users, venues, and booking types. In addition, only the administrator can reset a booking password on the bookings table and/or form. I (as the current administrator) want to be able to add a user and grant him/her permissions (either as admin or just user).

Admin access: add new users, venues, booking types, and reset booking password which will be used to grant permission to change booking details such as time and date. When the administrator adds a new user, there's an option (a field called admin on the user table) on whether or not to give the user admin rights, if yes the user is added to both the admin role and the user table 

'Normal' user access: add and/or change own booking and change other user's return time and date provided a password is correctly provided. Does not even have to know that there's a user, venue, and a booking type table.

I've read about Windows authentication on the MSDN library but I seem to be getting nowhere and just have no clue where to start.

Help appreciated!

New To MS SQL Server, Need Help With Windows Authentication
I 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.

Windows Authentication With SQL Server
I have an asp.net page which accesses a sql server database (on another server).
I am trying to use impersonation to impersonate the domain user accessing the page and use the credentials to access the sql server using a windows login. I have windows authentication checked in IIS settings am using the following web.config:<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <authentication mode="Windows" />    <identity impersonate="true"/>
    <authorization>      <allow users="*" />    </authorization>
    <customErrors mode="Off" />
  </system.web>
</configuration>
I can connect fine when i open the page on the IIS server but from other machines, whilst logged in as the same domain user I get the error:
Login error failed for user ''.
Anybody know what the problem might be?

AUTHORIZATION With WINDOWS AUTHENTICATION -- HELP!!
i want to implement authorization with windows authentication and don'thave the slightest clue of how to do this implementation. the basicwindows authentication for this .NET application is already setup. myproblem lies within my inability to manipulate the username captured inthe authentication process and my knowledge of how IIS is involved.specifically, i have the following questions:1) what object(s) can be used so that the user's username can bemanipulated for the authorization process?2) in order to apply roles, do the users need to be placed in groups inIIS? if so, how does this work?3) is all the code that the application uses for roles in web.config?or does global.asax play a role in this matter?4) does the web.config file know to communicate with IIS because theauthorization type is set to windows?5) once authorization is in place, can a section of an .aspx file bevisible to a group or can only entire files be secured for a group?as you can see, i'm trying to figure out the relationship betweenauthorization and windows authentication so any help would beappreciated.thanks,johne: Join Bytes!

Windows Authentication Vs SQL Server
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,

Windows Authentication Issue;
Hi All,

My Delphi application is connected to MS SQL Server 2000 database.The connection is establised with SQL Server authentication from the Delphi Application.

My problem is ,

When the SQL Server's Authentication mode is changed to "Windows Only", I change the Connection String attribute to Trusted Connection in which Im not specifying the UserId and Password as shown below.

'Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=TestDb;Data Source=dev-pc006;Use Procedure for Prepare=1;Auto Translate=True;Workstation ID=dev-pc003;Use Encryption for Data=False';

Now the connection is establised and I get "Invalid Object" error if the user id is not prefixed to the objects in the Delphi application's queries.

Is there any way to change the login/user after establishing the connection in Windows Authentication mode.

Thanks in advance.

regards,

Hari Haran Arulmozhi

MS SQL Query For Windows Authentication
Hi



I am working on analyzing the network traffic for MS SQL Server. The setup for generating the traffic is as follows:



Server: MS SQL server version 2000

Client: SQL Query Analyser version SQL 8.00

Operating System: Microsoft Windows Server 2003



The issue here is, by default Kerberos authentication is enabled on the above operating system. But I want to enable NTLM authentication on Windows Server 2003 inorder to capture a trace and check whether it contains NT authentication packet embedded in the TDS login packet as described in the TDS document.



I disabled Kerberos from the windows services and enabled NTLM from services. But it did not work out.

Also I enabled NTLM by editing the Group Policy from “Active Directory Users and Computers” by going in “Administrative Tools” on Windows. But still it did not work out.

In both the above cases, the packet had Kerberos authentication only when I selected the option “Windows Authentication” in the Query Analyser while logging in to the MS SQL Server.



Any references/inputs which answer this issue would be appreciated.



Thanks,

Shama

Windows Authentication - Ports
I have an App server and database server in 2 DMZs and I need to have the ports open through the firewall to make the App server talk to the database server. For this, what ports am I supposed to get opened to use windows authentication? Just the SQL port or the windows port too. (like 445)
