No Certificates Available In The Protocols For MSSQKSERVER Properties Window
Apr 4, 2007
I am trying to set up SQL Server 2005 to use a test certificate from Thawte for SSL encryption. I have installed the certificate in the local computer, current user and service account's personal certificates folders. I have also installed the root certificate in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities folders of each. All this was done using MMC.
However, when I go to tell SQL Server to use the certificate, no certificates show up in the drop down box. I am using SQL Server Configuration Manager and doing the right-clickPropertiesCertificate steps shown in multiple KB and forum articles.
I have also checked the registry entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLServerSuperSocketNetLibCertificate. It is blank, which tells me SQL Server should be looking in the certificate store.
If I simply set the ForceEncryption flag, SQL Server starts up OK and generates a self-signed certificate. Using that, the session does get encrypted. However, I need to use a third party certificate.
I have hit a brick wall and am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
"InteractiveHeight is only supported on RS 2005. Opening a report in BI Development Studio of SQL Server 2005 will automatically add this property. You can find the property on the Report element. In report designer (properties window) it is also on the report element / Layout / Interactive Size / Height."
Why don't I see the Report Properties screen that includes the Interactive Size elements? My Report Properties screen looks the same as it did in VS2003.
I need to modify the InteractiveHeight element. It has been added to the RDL source.

My colleague opens up an SSIS package with variables, many of which use expressions built with the Expression Builder. She cannot bring up the Expression Builder by clicking the ellipsis (...) in the "Expression" Property of the Property Window, regardless of whether "EvaluateAsExpression" is set to True or False.
I can open up this same package and use the Expression Builder just fine. Any ideas?
Apologies if this has been answered already, I did many searches to try to find the solution before posting here.
If, in an SSIS package, you put an instance of an 'Execute SQL Task' task in the Control Flow, in the Properties window, you can see the properties of the task, for example CodePage.
If you double click on the task, the Execute SQL Task Editor appears, with several of the properties which are also in the Properties window, including CodePage.
If, in the Editor, you update the value of CodePage, then click OK, the value of CodePage in the Properties window is updated immediately.
I have written a custom SSIS task, which also has the same properties in the Properties window and in the Editor. The Editor also has an OK button. When OK is clicked, the values of the task properties are updated. An example property is FolderToArchive. If I open the Editor, change the value of FolderToArchive and click the OK button, the value of FolderToArchive in the Properties window is NOT immediately updated.
If, however, I select the FolderToArchive field in the Propertiesd window, it is then updated with the value I entered in the Editor.
How do I get my task to update the values in the Properties window, after changing a value in the Editor, when I click the OK button?
I would have thought I would need something like, in pseudo-code,
Task.Parent.PropertiesWindow.Refresh where task is of type Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Task and Task.Parent is of type Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Package.
We are setting up a job for the SQL Server Agent via SSMS. The Job Step Type is SSIS.
In the Job Step Properties window, on the Set values tab, you can enter Values to override your package variables - normally all well and good.
However in this particular case, the variable Value contains semicolons ( - it is a Connection String for an ODBC driver. Eg: Driver={Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)};system=MYSERVER;...
The behaviour for this Value is weird:
If the Value is not surrounded with double quotes ("), the job fails with "The command line parameters are invalid." If the Value is surrounded with double quotes ("), the job will run as intended. The catch is: that entry and any subsequent "Set Values" entries disappear next time the Job Step Properties window is opened.
This looks like a bug with the parsing of those strings by the Job Step Properties window?
I need to find out what protocols are used by our client to connect to the SQL Server ? And is there a way through which we can say that the client are using these protocols, from the Enterprise Manager ?
One more question i have is, I have a SQL server Installation at home on Win98. Why can't i rename the Server Name. I tried using the Sp sp_Dropserver,sp_addserver.
My ASP website is located on one server & the MS SQL 2000 which is located on a separate physical server behind a separate firewall.
My question is related to Application Communication. I want to know how do the Servers exchange data with one another: which (logical connections to use, which protocols to use)?
I am having a problem with one of the PC's That remotely connects to my server.
When you go to connection properties (under Connect to server in the Management studio) on the users machine there are no options under Network Protocol only the <default> option.
All the rest of our PC's have the option of choosing TCP/IP , named pipe etc etc..
This computer is not able to connect to the server remotely however it can/does when it is on the network.
I figure its because it is attempting to connect over named pipe rather than TCP/IP but i cannot change this in the connection options as it is missing.
And as far as i know on the server i have the default set to TCP/IP but I am really unsure of this.
If anyone can help me out with this i would greatly appreciate it.
If TCP/IP is the only protocol enabled on the General tab of the Client Network Utility, does it mean that other protocols are disabled and will not be used in communicating to SQL Servers on other machines?
In this case, should the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSSQLServer ClientSuperSocketNetLib only contain the Tcp entry?
If I have alias setup to use other protocol such as Named Pipes, does it mean that the alias cannot be connected since Named Pipes is not enabled?
When I initially installed SQL Server 2005 Express, it automatically picked up all the IP addresses (60 of them) I had on the server, and filled them in under TCP/IP - IP adresses Tab.
I recently took those IPs off the server and replaced them with 30 new IP addresses. Is there a way to have SQL Server 2005 Express read the Network configuration on the server and take the old IPs off the TCP/IP - IP addresses tab and put the new one's there?
I have successfully built a project and now want to deploy it for use, however I am getting the following error message:

I am running VS Team Suite, and did a fresh installation of SQL Server 2005.

I'm having issues with my sql server 2014 express configuration manager. I need to change protocols under Sql Server Network Configuration but there is nothing, no protocol listed, its empty.
With the new functionality provided by sql server 2005, can we use the certificate functionality to act as a db store for third party certificates. Posts that I have seen so far indicate that there is no direct access to the certificate store once a certificate has been imported to the db. Given that the database is more portable (for failover purposes for certificate storeage, lack of access to the certificate store should be considered a considerable problem for ISV's.
Failing that, if we need to impliment this functionality ourselves what is the best format to store certificates in the database (blob or other)
In MSDN, it says that it is recommended to use windows authentication to connect to SQL Server rather than use mixed authentication.
I create user deltasqluser on windows OS, and I specify in my webform ASP.NET script below :
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label Label1; private string _connString = @"data source=deltasql2000;initial catalog=northwind;integrated security=false;user id=deltasqluser"; /* comment : I login to my windows as deltakoronx, and I want to every user (including me), connected to sql server through IIS, will be identified as deltasqluser not as user's login (impersonate) */ private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(_connString); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(); cmd.Connection = conn; cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; cmd.CommandText = "select suser_sname()";
at web.config, I add : <identity impersonate="false" userName="deltasqluser" password="" />
at IIS webApplication1's properties, tab "Directory Security", at "Authentication and access control" section, I checked "enable anonymous access" with user : DELTAIUSR_DELTA and checked "Integrated Windows Authentication",
at query analyzer, I login as "sa" and execute script below : exec sp_grantdbaccess 'deltasqluser','northwind'
when I run the ASP.NET script, error at conn.Open(); with error message : Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.
What should I do so that IIS login to SQL Server as user deltasqluser not as "NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" ?
I have access to a microsoft certificate server and I have generated a server certificate for use in my SQLexpress installation. The certificate was installed into the personal folder of the local machine. The MMC certificate snap in can see it fine.
When I use the SQL server configuration manager and look in the certificate tab and try to use the drop down to find the certificate so SQL express can use it, nothing shows up.
Can someone please give instructions on how I can get SQl express to use the server certificate that I just installed?
Does SQL Server support wildcard Certificates. When you install the wild cert in the certificate store, the sql configuration manager does not see it in its drop down list. Id it does, what are the steps or please point me to the right direction. Does the cert need to be specifically for that particular hostname. Thanks
I am looking for a good introduction into the handling of certificates in SQL 2005.
I need to sign a procedure to allow it to access a dm view. I do understand the theory and the syntax, but I have trouble coming up with an easy but still secure way to create these certificates on all customer servers without allowing misuse. All articles I could find are going through creating a new database, setting up a certificate with or without password, signing an example proc and then dropping the database. Non seems to care about the problems that occur later on during the life of a certificate.
I want to get all the student from a Database table which store student certificate. For example, I need a query of student who "HAVE" 3 certificate(Cert A, B, C).
Certificate Table:
StudentName CertificateName John Cert A Wilson Cert B John Cert B John Cert C Michael Cert A
Output: John
sqlQuery = "Select * from CertificateTable Where (CertificateName = 'Cert A') AND (CertificateName = 'Cert B') AND (CertificateName= 'Cert C')"
Need to replicate mobile device that uses a wildcard certificate. Heard that ms windows mobile 5.0 does not support wildcard certificates. Is there a solution around this using vb.net.
I just want to be 100% sure about something. Certificates generated for use with service broker endpoints must be generated in the maste database, correct?
What are the implecations of the master key is changed for the master database ?
This may seem like a stupid question but i am trying to get the hang of the new security model.
I have not really heard anything mentioned about certficate expiration date when it comes to creating certificates for keys or service broker endpoints etc.
We have created certificates for keys and service broker endpoints, now what exactly happens when the expiration date, by default 1 year i think is reached, will we no longer be able to decrypt encrypted data and will the service broker endpoints stop working etc ?
Or is this expiration date when the certificate can no longer be used to create security objects ? And all security objects already created with this certificate will always work ?
In other words is there ever danger that keys and endpoints or basically any object referrencing this certificate will just suddenly stop working one day, or will all objects work indefinately regardless of an certificate/objects expiration date ?
I am currently trying to replicate a SQL Mobile 2005 database with a SQL Server 2005 database through web synchronization using SSL Server AND Client Certificates. On IIS, with "Require Client Certificates" unchecked, I can replicate fine. Once I turn it on, I get a message from replication saying "A Secure Socket Layer connection is required to access this site". I have installed a client certificate in IE, and can access the https://servername/Ojt/sqlcesa30.dll site (I tried removing the client certificate, and I was denied access, then reinstalled it and it worked - so I think that part is working). Does anyone have any experience with this? My production operating environment requires client-side certificates.
Hi, i want to know if its posible to create credentials or certificates in order to protect a SQL 2005 data base.
Because if someone Buckups one of my DBs from my server, and try to restore it in orther server i dont want they to see my DB information because he dont have the correct credentials or certificates for it.
I am trying to use the example in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/915852. This creates two databases SourceDB and TargetDB. If I put SourceDB on the same SQL Server instance as TargetDB, the messages is received with no problem. If I put the SourceDB on another Server so than I am using two separate servers in the same domain, the message never gets to the TargetDB. I have changed the routes to the correct server names and set the route port to 8286. CREATE ROUTE [myRoute] WITH SERVICE_NAME = 'SourceService', address = 'TCP://toto:8286'; and: CREATE ROUTE [myRoute] WITH SERVICE_NAME = 'TargetService', address = 'TCP://devbox05:8286';
My SourceDB is on one of several instances on the server toto. My instance is totofoxylady01,52005. The certificates were generated using the passwords in the article.
The project I'm currently working on has to be relatively simple for the users to install, so I had the idea of using service broker to "set itself up". The idea is that there will be a server with a service and suchlike already set up. Somehow the clients will get the information required to create a remote service binding, and once that has been accomplished will send a registration message to the server.
What I'm wondering is can I somehow create and send a certificate using service broker via t-sql, and also is this approach reasonable or is it a bad idea. The reason I had thought of something like this is because the people setting up the client sites may (and probably will) have very little knowledge (probably no sql server knowledge) so we need the installation to basically be a click and install.
Any way to bulk export / import TDE Certs? I've got a bunch of databases that need to be moved to another system. Just about every database is using TDE and was wondering if there was a way to move these certs in a bulk fashion. I've got SQL and Powershell scripts to backup and restore multiple databases, but won't do me any good without the certs.
I am looking at documentation of CREATE CERTIFICATE statement. I am having hard time in understanding if I want to create CERTIFICATE with above mentioned options, how I am supposed to create either PRIVATE KEY file or EXECUTABLE file. any example would be really helpful for what I am doing here.
