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?
Ive been reading over the documentation and some stuff online, but I still dont really understand what the difference is and when you would use one vs the other. Can someone put it in simple terms for this dummy (me) ?
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 server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) for the given connection string Dim connstring As String = "Data Source=Northwind;Initial Catalog=OrderProcessing;Persist Security Info=True;UserID=application_login;Password=wewewe;"
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!!)
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?
I know how to create an Application role in SQL server 7. Now how do I connect to the database from VB using that Application Role? I can't find anything about this topic anywhere. Is this the purpose of an Application role or am I way off?
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.
I want to add bulkadmin permission to my applicatio role. Is it aposible.My windows account havo only public permission on database.I'm using application roleEXEC sp_approlepassword 'MyRole', 'password';Therefore I want to BULK some data with BULK INSERT command.Error is:The current user is not the database or object owner of table'tablename'. Cannot perform SET operation.Thanks in advance.
In SQL Server 2005, you must have the VIEW SERVER STATE permission in order to access sys.syslockinfo (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189497).
Can I confirm whether pooling=false in the connection string is still required for SQL Server 2005 (Express Edition)?
Various google searches say pooling has to be turned off for SQL Server 2000, but I was just wondering whether it is still a limitation for SQL Server 2005
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:
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:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'SearchAppRole'. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj
I can't find much information on Application Role...I just want one basic permission for the application as a whole. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
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.
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?
Running VB 2005 Express Edition and Sql Server 2005 Express Edition (SQLX).
Developing a desktop application which calls a local instance of ".sqlexpress".
This app needs to set data base options and add/del various table columns.
When activating the application role, I get the following message:
HariCari SQL Error/s 15422 - Application roles can only be activated at the ad hoc level.
Anyone know what this message means?
I have searched SQL Server Books On-Line and been unable to find a list of Sql err numbers. Either I have missed the obvious or Books On-Line has missed the obvious.
I'm developing a web application and i like to use the sql server 2005 role management features istead of developing a role management package in my program, I can do it on my tables and othe database items but I have no idea about using database access rights in my web pages to permit some one viewing or updating a web form... Is there any system table or system stored procedure showing access rights in my data base? or is there another idea to do this??
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
I am very frustrated. Everything works on the local host but when I upload to server I can login to the admin role I created, but when I try to access pages that have role priveleges I get the following error: The SSE Provider did not find the database file specified in the connection string. At the configured trust level (below High trust level), the SSE provider can not automatically create the database file. The ASPNETDB.MDF database was uploaded using the Database Publishing Wizard. Please help!
Hi I would like to launch an application (developed by my team) from a report in SSRS, just like how a web page can be launnched by setting the Navigation property.
Any ideas?
I tried this by writing a function in a custom assembly public static myfunc() { Process.Start("c:myapp.exe") }
and calling this function from the report. This is not working. Iam guessing it has to do with setting permissions. How and where do i need to set this?
I'm searching for good documentation for building Application layer for Report (SSRS) using Visual Studio 2005. Kindly forward useful link if possible or walk me through.
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.
When trying to open the reports server \servername eports we are getting an error page titled "Server Error in '/Reports' Application." The server has been restarted, and as this is a new deployment, there has been very little access for individuals to make changes.
In sql server 2000, I created some custom database roles called ProjectLeader and Developer. I would make these roles a member in the fixed database roles so that I would only have to add the user to the ProjectLeader or Developer role once and they would presto-magico have the security I wanted them to have with no unecessary mouse clicking. I'm not sure how to repeat this process in 2005? Management Studio doesn't seem to allow you to add a role as a member in another role. Is there a work around or solution for this?

I have SQL server 2005 (Developer edition) installed and I want to add a database role to a database role. It is working on my SQL 2000 server,however, when I tried to do the same thing on SQL2005, It didn't allowed me.
When I go to the Add role and then adding members to the role, the browse screen does not allow me the choice of object type Roles. It only shows me "Users".
Can someone please help me with this and provide me some information of how / what should I set to get the Roles in object types list so I can add a role to a role.
Does anyone know of a link or list that has all the parameters for the "rs:" section of the URL access parameter, except for the ones in the Microsoft books?
Is it possible to write SSRS 2008 reports to run on an existing SSRS 2005 server?
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?
Hey, don't know if it's the right place for this question but i hope you help me.
