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!

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

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?

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

Report Server Authentication Errors (custom Security Authentication)
This has been plauging us for a year now and still haven't figured it out. We wrote a custom authentication extension based completely off the example code MS provided with SQL Server 2005. We upgraded to SP2 thinking it might fix the problem. Nope... here is what happens... you go to our server and there is a pause for about 5 seconds then the login page shows up I login with a user and pass then it just sits there with the loading icon spinning in IE. Eventually (this happens every time!) it comes back with Code Block "The report server is not responding. Verify that the report server is running and can be accessed from this computer. " If you refresh that page it loads fine! ok seems odd... went ot the LogFiles folder and there is a minidump and a bunch of logs around the time that happened. Open ReportServerWebApp's log file and I get this Code Block Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 9.00.3161.00 en-US Eastern Daylight Time C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesLogFilesReportServerWebApp__10_31_2007_13_49_48.log NODEC Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790 Service Pack 2 5.2.3790.131072 w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing MaxActiveReqForOneUser to '20' requests(s) as specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing MaxScheduleWait to default value of '1' second(s) because it was not specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing DatabaseQueryTimeout to default value of '30' second(s) because it was not specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing ProcessRecycleOptions to default value of '0' because it was not specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing RunningRequestsScavengerCycle to default value of '30' second(s) because it was not specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing RunningRequestsDbCycle to default value of '30' second(s) because it was not specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing RunningRequestsAge to default value of '30' second(s) because it was not specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing CleanupCycleMinutes to default value of '10' minute(s) because it was not specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing DailyCleanupMinuteOfDay to default value of '120' minutes since midnight because it was not specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing WatsonFlags to default value of '1064' because it was not specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing WatsonDumpOnExceptions to default value of 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InternalCatalogException,Microsoft.ReportingServices.Modeling.InternalModelingException' because it was not specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing WatsonDumpExcludeIfContainsExceptions to default value of 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException,System.Threading.ThreadAbortException' because it was not specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing SecureConnectionLevel to default value of '1' because it was not specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing DisplayErrorLink to 'True' as specified in Configuration file. w3wp!library!1!10/31/2007-13:49:49:: i INFO: Initializing WebServiceUseFileShareStorage to default value of 'False' because it was not specified in Configuration file. w3wp!ui!1!10/31/2007-13:49:57:: e ERROR: The report server is not responding.

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.

Windows Authentication
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, Rahul Jha

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, Ken Nicholson

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. Paul

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?

ODBC Via Windows Authentication
Hello,We have an internal application that accesses SQL Server 2000 via ODBC.The connecton is established with user id and password. We recentlyreceived a business request to allow the software to work with Windowsauthentication scheme going forward. This implies that users will nolonger have passwords to login to the database. The Windows PC wouldtake care of the authentication.Is there a way (perhaps a connection string) to allow ODBC to connectto the database in this new environment? I would appreciate any tipsor pointers.

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!

Hi,We're currently planning to migrate from SQL Auth to Windows Auth.Personally, I do not have too much experience with Windowsauthentication but have heard that there are some problems when workingwith it.The problems I've already ran into were:"Cannot Generate SSPI Context" (which I've already resolved), and amore serious problem which prevents me from connecting to a linkedserver. (double hop, see http://support.microsoft.com/?id=238477)Anything else I should expect?Thanks!

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, W13

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

Using Windows Authentication With Impersonation
I am installing an application that is a WCF service host running as a windows service under the Network Service account. As part of its configuration I am creating a connectionstring in a config file that will allow the WCF services to access SQL Server. I would like this access to be done using windows authentication not sql server authentication. connectionString="Server=MYSQLServer;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;Integrated Security=True;" So since the windows service is running Logged in under the Network Service account using the above connection string would try to connect to sql server using Network service account. Instead I would like to impersonate another domain account which has has a sql server login and is a user in the database. Is there a way to configure the connection string to use integrated security but to impersonate another domain user? Thanks -- Steven

Dynamic Windows Authentication
Hi The Parent Package has a Loop Container. The Loop Container calls the Child Package and in the process the connection manager properties are changed using package configurations. When the packages are tested in BIDS both Windows and SQL authentication work. When the packages are scheduled on SQL authentication works and Windows authentication fails. (The account which executes the schedule has permissions to all the data sources required. The SQL Agent Service Account has permissions. In addition a crendential was created using a different account which also has permissions and this also failed.) If the connection managers are made static then the schedule executes. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Windows Authentication And Vista
I would like to know if this is possible? First, I am a consultant and have several clients. Before upgrading to Vista, I used Windows XP and was able to use SQL Server Management Studio to connect to SQL Servers (2000 and 2005) using my saved network passwords. I would establish a connection to the remote SQL Server by doing a Start - Run "\sqlservernamec$" and when prompted for credentials, I would give the domain account that the client has provided me and password and select the "Save password" checkbox. This would put these credentials in my saved credentials list for my user account. After doing this, I would be able to connect to the SQL Server via Windows Authentication in SSMS and Integrated Security (SSPI in connection strings) from applications (ASP and .Net). Everything worked happily with locked down SQL Servers and Windows Authentication. Then comes Vista... None of this works. It seems the stored credentials in Vista do not get honored when connecting to a SQL Server, other than the instance installed on my local machine. I have been able to connect to a remote instance via Named Pipes, but most of my clients have that disabled because of incompatibility with Distributed Transactions. So, I ask, is there any way to connect to a remote SQL Server instance (2000 or 2005) from Vista via TCP and Windows Authentication when the client Vista workstation is not in the same domain as the server? I have tried so many things, I am not sure where to continue from. I have looked into setting SPNs for domain accounts, upgraded servers to latest service packs, etc. Bottom line, this is the only thing i have found with SQL Server that ALWAYS worked in Windows XP does not work in Vista and, at this point, is getting close to being a killer causing me to go back to XP.

Windows Vs SQL Authentication After Installation
Hi all! My name is Ivan and I am from Serbia. I'm sort of newbie in sql server, so don't mind for confusion. I installed SQL Server 2005 Express edition with Advanced Services. During Setup I have choosen to use Windows authentication for connecting to my server, cause I read it can be removed in SQL Server Management Studio (right-click on server, Properties, Security, SQL Authentication). Few days ago I got some mdf database to attach to my server, but in readme file in the same folder, there was a message to create new user called 'Bob' (password 'msdn') with dbo permission to that database (with SQL Authentication mode access to server). I did so, created user, went to Server Properties, changed mode for Authentication), disconnect from server, and closed Management Studio. When I opened it again I clicked on SQL Authentication to connect, typed Bob as user name, msdn as password, and I got a message which was something about that it is not possible to connect with SQL Server Authentication mode, although I made a difference in Properties. Should I install SQL Server with the new instance and with SQL Authentication mode? Please help me out.

SQL Server - Windows Authentication
Ours is distributed WinForms application. Application logon is using Windows integrated authentication. As a best practice I would like to use Windows authentication for SQL Server connection. This means that when the user logons on to the workstation, the user will gain access to the application and also to the SQL Server. But there is a requirement that the end user cannot directly login to the database. So if the user tries to access Sql server database through some client tools I shouldn't allow that. How can I achieve this? Thanks

Windows Authentication - Different Domain
Hi: I am trying to figure out if there is a way to connect via SQL Server Management Studio to a server sitting on a separate domain. So here is the situation. there is Server B which sits in a domain called DomainB. If I am in DomainA, I could typically remote into that server utilizing an IP address in DomainB, and even transfer files to that server. But how do I connect via SQL Server Management Studio(basically login as a different domain user) to Server B in DomainB from DomainA. Basically when I choose Windows Authentication from the dropdown list in SQL Server Management Studio, it grays out the username field, which is where I could type something like this domainBusernameondomainB, similar to how you would connect to a share on that server. Please let me know if there is a possibly solution to this. Also, our customer doesnot allow SQL Server Auth/Logins, so that is not an option. Thanks.
