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.
Vania

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 ?

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 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 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.

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:

How Can One User View Other Users That Belong To A Database Role?
After upgrading my database from SQL2000 to SQL2005 I have noticed a change in behavior of sp_helprolemember.

In SQL2000 I could connect as 'user1' and use sp_helprolemember to find all users that belong to a certain role.

In SQL2005 sp_helprolemember seems to only show me the roles that connected user belongs to. For example, if I connect as 'user1' I only see the roles that 'user1' belongs to.

Any advice on how to duplicate the behavior from SQL2000?

Query Optimization - Joining A View And A Table
I am having the following situation - there is a view that aggregates and computes some values and a table that I need the details from so I join them filtering on the primary key of the table. The execution plan shows that the view is executed without any filtering so it returns 140 000 rows which are later filtered by the join operation a hash table match. This hash table match takes 47% of the query cost. I tried selecting the same view but directly giving a where clause without the join €“ it gave a completely different execution plan. Using the second method is in at least 4 folds faster and is going only through Index Seeks and nested loops.
So I tried modifying the query with third version. It gave almost the same execution plan as the version 1 with the join operation.
It seams that by giving the where clause directly the execution plan chosen by the query optimizer is  completely different €“ it filters the view and the results from it and returns it at the same time, in contrast to the first version where the view is executed and return and later filtered. Is it possible to change the query some how so that it filters the view before been joined to the table.
 
Any suggestions will be appreciated greatly

if i create a view:

CREATE view dbo.myView
as
select Distinct FirstName,LastName from SomeTable


When ever i reference that view, such as
Select FirstName,LastName
from myView
where LastName like 'Jo%'

does that View Refresh itself??

in other words does it run each time i Reference it??? or is it static from when i created it.

Wouldnt it be easier just to use a #TempTable or some other Table thats used to hold a few values?

See Application Users (View Server State) Within A Stored Procedure
Hello, i have a problem regarding stored procedures and view server state.
 
I have an application with a lot of stored procedures, one of them checks data of the connected users.
In SQL 2000 i had no problem getting this information, but in SQL server 2005 i do.
 
my stored procedure looks like this:
 

ALTER PROCEDURE [dba].[applsp_GetConnectionInfo]

(

@DBName varchar(100)

)

WITH EXECUTE AS OWNER AS

BEGIN

SET NOCOUNT ON



DECLARE @sCollationMaster VARCHAR(128);

DECLARE @sSqlString VARCHAR(900);



-- Determine collation from master database because collation from master and ultimo database may differ

SELECT @sCollationMaster = CAST(databasepropertyex('master', 'Collation') AS VARCHAR);



SET @sSqlString =

'SELECT max(status) AS Status, max(isnull(SCISUSENAME, ''ULTIMOLOGIN'')) AS Login

, MAX(Rtrim(Rtrim(convert(varchar(255), nt_domain)) + nt_username)) AS NTUser

, max(Rtrim(hostname)) AS Host, MAX(Rtrim(program_name)) AS Program

WHERE ...... AND DB_NAME(dbid) = ''' + @DBName + '''

GROUP BY hostprocess

ORDER BY Login

';



EXEC(@sSqlString);

END
 
I've granted view server state permissions to my user 'dba' which is the db_owner.
When i execute the query in the stored procedure seperatly as dba i get all the info i need, but when i execute the stored procedure i don't see anything.
 
I seem to have the same problem with sp_who2
Executing it gives me information about everyone but when i put in a stored procedure like this:

Role/Person Table?
We're developing an application request/packaging/rollout worflowapplication for our 50 site, 40,000 user company. There is a requesttable, an engineering table, a distribution table, etc. etc. But, thecompany has a designated "Application Owner" at each site, and eachperson who will use the application must also be listed in the workflowapplication. So, we need a lookup table for the owners and users:CREATE TABLE REQUEST (RQ_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,RQ_BY_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,RQ_FOR_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,ASSIGNED_ENGINEER_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,OTHER INFO...);CREATE TABLE APP_OWNERS (RQ_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,OWNER_ID INTEGER NOT NULL);CREATE TABLE APP_USERS (RQ_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,USER_ID INTEGER NOT NULL);There are many other tables, of course, some with single person IDfields and addititional lookup tables where there are multiple peopleinvolved like testers, package distributors, etc. I began to wonder,why not just a single table to cover ALL the people involved:CREATE TABLE RQ_WORKFLOW_PEOPLE (RQ_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,PERSON_ROLE VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,PERSON_ID INTEGER NOT NULL);INSERT INTO RQ_WORKFLOW_PEOPLE (rq_id,person_role,person_id) values(123456,'RQ BY',314159),(123456,'RQ FOR',951413),(123456,'APP OWNER',159413),(123456,'APP OWNER',413159),(123456,'USER',594131),(123456,'USER',313459),.....The real question I have is how does one evaluate options like this?The good news, I think, is that where I simply must have crossreference tables because of multiple values (application owners, users,testers, etc.) I've reduced the number of those tables to one byspecifying a single table by role. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?I've also removed similar data from several other tables where only asingle column was needed in those tables, i.e. the requested by andrequested for fields, the assigned engineer, and several others. Thereis one and only one of each for each request but the type of data, thatis an employee ID is exactly the same, so does it make more "sense" tokeep the data with the request table or the engineering table orconsolidate all ID data in an ID table?Any thoughts on this woudl be appreciated.Randy

IE: Let's suppose we have defined a UDT named UDTPoint; now we define two tables: ATable & BTable, wich both have one column that is defined as UDTPoint.

When an insert/update/delete operation on ATable or BTable occurs, the UDTPoint class needs to verify in which context it is running (ATable or BTable) before doing operations on data.

Is there any way to achieve that ?

Thanks

Best Way To Reference A Table With A Composite Key?
The table above is my users table. It allows for a user to be at multiple sites or multiple locations within a single site or multiple sites. Would it be wise to use a auto incrementing primary key instead of the 3 column composite key? The reason I ask is because if I am referencing this SU table (which I will be a lot), a lot more data would be replicated to the tables which have the foreign key to this table, right? But if I used a single incrementing column as the primary key, only a small integer would be used as the foreign key, saving space?Does this make sense?

Command To Reference Another Table
Hi all,

I am new to this site and I hope anyone out there can help me. I was tasked to change the constraints of my existing table. Lets call it table1. This table has an attribute that needs to take the value of another attribute of another table ( let's call it tables2) and that attribute must satisfy a certain expression ( I suppose I can isolate it by using the select statement ).

Anyone know how to get this done.

Please advice.

Thanks and appreciated.

How To Reference A Table In A Different Database?
I have 2 databases in sql server. let us say database1 = db1 and database2 = db2
Now both the databases have a same table called table1 with the same fields.

IF data in db1.table1 is updated then data in db2.table2 should be updated automatically.

There are many ways we can do this. one way is to create a INSERT trigger on db1.table1.

But i would like to avoid trigger
Is there something in SQL server where I can just link table1 of db1 to db2 and delete the table1 in db2. That means db2 is using the same table that of db1.

Thanks

Table Reference To Another DB Instance?
Hello everyone,

this would be my first posting.

I would like to know if it's possible in MS SQL to redirect a table into another DB instance? I have no access into the source code and I have been wondering if it is possible to make a redirection/hard link in MS SQL side.

I would have a table in my base DB and when a query is made into this table, the MS SQL would redirect it to another DB or table. Is this possible in MS SQL ? Something along the lines of a hard-link in linux.
Thank you very much.

A Query To Determine A Role Or Id's Access To An Object... Do-able?
Hey there.
I must write a stored procedure to update a table and want to make sure the ID used in both Acceptance and Production will have the necessary access.  The ID will inherit it's access to the resource though a ROLE.
Wondering if there are queries out there that can traverse for example, the roles/id's that have access to it... Thx!
