ODBC Trusted_Connection Call To SQLGetInfo Returns DBO As User Name, Not NT User
Sep 26, 2004
Hello, all:
I am connecting to SQL Server 2000 with a trusted connection, and that is working fine. I then am issuing a SQLGetInfo call to find out the SQL_USER_NAME, which is always returning dbo instead of (my) Windows NT login name, which I expect to see. THe authentication is (apparently) confirmed by the SQL Server session monitor where it shows the right Windows NT user name logged in, over ODBC. With a standard SQL Login, untrusted, I definitely get the right user name back, not dbo.
So:
Login Type / user id /returned value from SQLGetInfo
Windows Authentication / Windows login / dbo
SQL Authentication / Windows login (UID) / UID
The problem is that I am trying to confirm that the userid entered in a dialog or passed on the command line to my application matches the actual connected user name inside SQL Server....
My questions:
Is there some pathology in Trusted_Connections that masks the Windows/NT login name and always returns UID 'dbo' from a call to SQLGetInfo? Is there a MSS (public) stored procedure that can robustly give back the logged in user name so I can bypass the SQLGetInfo call?
Can anyone give a quick description of the meaning of this message andwhat needs to be done to get a connection.I'm running DBArtisan with SQLServer 2000 client SP4 installed.I also get the same message with MS Enterprise Manager so this iscoming out of the actual ODBC connection attempt.Thanks in advance!
This is my first time to deploy an asp.net2 web site. Everything is working fine on my local computer but when i published the web site on a remote computer i get the error "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed" (only in pages that try to access the database) Help pleaseee
I am writing an ASP.NET intranet application on a Windows XP machine running IIS 5.1 which executes a MS SQL Server 2000 DTS package as part of the process. The application allows the user to select a UNC path of an input source (.txt) file to be procesed by the DTS pacakge and the UNC file path property is then set in the source object name of the DTS package tasks before executing the DTS package. Whenever I run the application using a file path that is on my development machine (the same machine that the web server is on) it works fine. When I select a source file path that is on a network share folder, the DTS package fails with the following error:Event Type: ErrorEvent Source: DataTransformationServicesEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 81Date: 2/14/2007Time: 12:58:06 PMUser: N/AComputer: PHILSDELL2Description:The execution of the following DTS Package failed: Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) PackageError Description:Package failed because Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_2' failed.Error code: 80040428Error Help File:sqldts80.hlpError Help Context ID:700Package Name: ATMRecon_ImportElanACHTxtPackage Description: (null)Package ID: {3A8CC31D-A81F-40B7-BE57-AEB3AA238088}Package Version: {B01420A7-ED22-49A7-B4C7-9FA1732394E3}Package Execution Lineage: {2A9D45E8-35F8-4F0A-8339-7E5E29DA08B7}Executed On: PHILSDELL2Executed By: webaccess23Execution Started: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMExecution Completed: 2/14/2007 12:58:06 PMTotal Execution Time: 1.047 secondsPackage Steps execution information:Step 'DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1' succeededStep Execution Started: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMStep Execution Completed: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMTotal Step Execution Time: 0.047 secondsProgress count in Step: 0Step 'DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_2' succeededStep Execution Started: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMStep Execution Completed: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMTotal Step Execution Time: 0.047 secondsProgress count in Step: 0Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1' failedStep Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset ProviderStep Error Description:Error opening datafile: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.Step Error code: 80004005Step Error Help File:DTSFFile.hlpStep Error Help Context ID:0Step Execution Started: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMStep Execution Completed: 2/14/2007 12:58:06 PMTotal Step Execution Time: 1 secondsProgress count in Step: 0Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_2' failedStep Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset ProviderStep Error Description:Error opening datafile: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.Step Error code: 80004005Step Error Help File:DTSFFile.hlpStep Error Help Context ID:0Step Execution Started: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMStep Execution Completed: 2/14/2007 12:58:05 PMTotal Step Execution Time: 0.031 secondsProgress count in Step: 0 When I check the Security Event Log on the server on which the network share is located, I find the following set of messages repeated multiple times:Event Type: Failure AuditEvent Source: SecurityEvent Category: Account Logon Event ID: 680Date: 2/14/2007Time: 1:02:48 PMUser: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEMComputer: FS1ADescription:Logon attempt by: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0 Logon account: ASPNET Source Workstation: PHILSDELL2 Error Code: 0xC000006AEvent Type: Failure AuditEvent Source: SecurityEvent Category: Logon/Logoff Event ID: 529Date: 2/14/2007Time: 1:02:48 PMUser: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEMComputer: FS1ADescription:Logon Failure: Reason: Unknown user name or bad password User Name: ASPNET Domain: PHILSDELL2 Logon Type: 3 Logon Process: NtLmSsp Authentication Package: NTLM Workstation Name: PHILSDELL2 Caller User Name: - Caller Domain: - Caller Logon ID: - Caller Process ID: - Transited Services: - Source Network Address: 10.120.4.61 Source Port: 0The problem appears to be that the DTS package is trying to access the input source file using the local ASPNET Id from PHILSDELL2 which does not have authority to the network share. The ASP.NET application is using impersonation, set up through the web.config file: <identity impersonate="True" userName="registry:HKLMSOFTWARESkylightATMReconidentityASPNET_SETREG,userName" password="registry:HKLMSOFTWARESkylightATMReconidentityASPNET_SETREG,password" />The application can sucessfully access the network share under the impersonated id (the application first verifies the existience of the source files before executing the DTS package). I have wracked my brain trying to determine where the ASPNET security context is coming from to no avail. Can someone shed some light on what security credentials the DTS package is using to access the source files and how to change them?
i have database and set default table schema to "ray" and me must input ruy.TABLE-NAME for retrive data !!! , i need set Default Schema to current user for call database as just database name(for my program) , how changed it ? (i change default schema for current user by alter command but not worked !)
i have a table of phonecall records detailing amongst other things the time and duration of the call. there is a relationship linking this table to a table of handsets and from there to a table of users. this users table lists the start date the user had the phone. as ever sample data might make this easier to show:
PhoneUsers table
PhoneUserID Name StartDate PhoneID
1 john 1/08/2006 1
2 bob 20/08/2006 1
3 fred 2/08/2006 2
etc
Phones table:
PhoneID
1
2
etc
PhoneCalls table:
PhoneCallID PhoneID CallDate Duration
1 1 10/08/2006 25
2 1 23/082006 20
3 2 23/08/2006 20
i want the following result set:
user calldate duration
john 10/08/2006 25
bob 23/08/2006 20
fred 23/08/2006 20
essentially i am trying to link the phonecalls to the user of the phone at the time of the call. i make the following assumptions regarding the data:
the user is responsible for all calls for a given handset from the 'startdate' until the next 'startdate' for a different user, if such a record exists, if not then for all calls after that date
Is there a way to monitor all ODBC connections to a MSSQL server and prevent a username/ODBC combination. My problem is that we have many frontends for viewing reports, but we managed them all and users are not allow to make their own connections. Some users now uses MSAccess over ODBC to draw their own reports - they have all the permissions as neededd by the other apps.
I am new to this forum so I hope I have got the right one.
The problem I am having is I installed a new server into an office with 25 users. I joined the users to the new domain with new logins.
The server process then installed outlook 2003 onto each machine. Most machines are windows 2000
Problems arose in sage I have tied this down to the report designer and odbc.
On every machine bar 1 the report designer crashed when running a report. The problem like I said was that you cannot now connect to the odbc driver for sage and when you go into odbcad and try to look at the driver you get an error saying
The setup routines for the sage line 50 odbc driver could not be loaded due to system error 127
Then after that comes
Could not load the setup or translator library
I have looked on the net for this error and it tells you to look in the registry to make sure that the odbcinst is pointing to the correct location, I have checked this and it is. I ahve also checked the security and this seems ok aswell.
The next step was I loaded a fresh copy of windows 2000 into a new folder and tried to load the odbc driver again. This failed with the same as above.
This points to the software settings but I cannot find out where.
Iwas wondering if anyone has had the same problem and they could point me in the right direction.
Does anyone know how I can use a user variable in a sqlcommand in a Datareader source with an ODBC connection as the source? I am storing a date value in a user variable(Date) I fill with a SQL Task and then want to use the value in the sqlcommand I use in the Datareader Source. It won't let me use the @variablename in the sql command. Can anyone help with some advice on how I can make this work? Appreciate any help I can get. Thank you
I need help with a problem: When trying to process a analysis services project, I receive the following error message -
OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE'.; 28000; Cannot open database "DocumentDB" requested by the login. The login failed.; 42000.
I am using the service account for impersonation for the datasource. One suggestion I received from the data-access forum was to grant privileges to the local service for the database. I am not clear about the procedure to do that. Can someone please guide me through this? I am posting this question in this forum since this is a authentication/privilege issue.
When I am in Visual Studio 2005, and I try to add an SQL database, I get the following error "generating user instances in sql server is disabled. use sp_configure user instances enabled to generate user instances." I am currently using SQL server 2005 Express. What do I need to do, to create an SQL database? Thanks in advance.
i'm using the Enterpirse library logger to write logs into a database. When choosing connection string i choose the database i want in the "connection properties" dialog box and push 'Test connection' button. everything goes well.
then i open the SQL Server Management studio express and connect to the databse to check some things, from that point on , when i push the 'Test Connection' button in the Enterprise library i get the error:
"cannot open user default database. Login failed. login failed for user My'server/MyuserName'"
even when i close the sql server manager , it is still stuck - the connection test doesn't work anymore.... it only work when i restart the computer.
Table B: Name Data UserA xxx UserB asdasd UserB ewrsad UserC dsafasc UserA sdf UserB dfvr4
I want to count the total entries in Table B for every user in Table A. The output would be:
Name Count UserA 2 UserB 3 UserC 1
I can use a Select Count statement, but I will have to make a SQL call for every user in Table A. Also, Table A is dynamic, so the users are always changing. Can this be incorporated into one SQL call to count the total rows in Table B for each user in Table A?

I would like to know if there is a way to find out who changed a users roles/access WITHOUT using the audit function. For example, if a user account was created and given SA access then changed to read only, how can I find out who made that change? I tried searching for an answer, but kept getting no results. I'm thinking this may tie into the sys.sysusers view?
I have several reports for users to view on our Intranet. After installation of SQL 2005 SP2 patch, I cannot delete user or user's authority from Report in Properties Tab. An error message was shown on the status bar. It indicated that JavaScript Error: 'Return' statement outside of function. Seems something wrong with the 'Delete' funciton in SQL 2005 after update. The other functions worked fine. Could you point me out how to fix it or need to install any updates / hotfix. Thanks a lot!
Hi, I'm new to SQL Express 2005. I found information regarding : "Cannot open user default database. Login failed."on this forum but I think that in my case it's a bit different issue. I have a website (ASP.NET 2.0) accessing DB, in the mean time Windows Service tries to update some data in the same DB (Service runs as NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM). The second connection is rejected: "Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user ....". Problem occurs only when both: service and website are running at the same time. So service and website are running without problems when they are connecting DB exclusively. My connection string is: "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="|DataDirectory|spider-lab.mdf";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
Hi, I have a copy of VS2005 and i have installed the Microsoft SQL Server Developer Edition I am trying to do my first connection using ASP.net (yay for me...) and it has failed...with this error..Login failed for user 'testuser'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
can someone please point out why? yes i know that the error seems pretty straight forward but how do i fix it? like how do i make the user a trusted server connection? where do i do it? and what are the steps? the user is an administrator and by rights should have all access to everything....
connection string
SqlConnection MySQLConnection; MySQLConnection = new SqlConnection("server=cmptrname\databsename;uid=testuser;password=password;database=mytest");
btw while your reading do you have any examples of opening a db with the connection string in the web.config file? because i get some error "connection string has not been initialised" using the system.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get i though i would stick to the top code first before i tackled the web config error first....

IIS has 4 websites hosted on it. The parent level allows anonymous with windows auth off, but the website level has anonymous off with widnows auth and digest. In IIS, is there a problem with having the parent level anonymous and website level windows auth?
All the research I found dealing with this problem is that the solution is to set SQLserver to mix mode. I have SQL server already set to mix mode. I am not sure what else to do.

Hi all, I am new in asp.net. In my web.config file, I wrote the connection strings as below and then I got the above error.

Our server has integrated security setup, upon startup of the server, we have a continuous flow of error msg: Login Failed: Reason: User '_' not defined as a valid user of trusted connection. The timing of these messages only around 30 seconds apart The only incident from Technet I can find is Q186314, but we don't have replication setup, anyone knows where I can look into ? I recycle the server but didn't help. I appreciate any help I can get .. Thanks.
I am relatively new to sql developer. There is a new user that just joined our organization. I am trying to grant him the same direct grants privilege to the tables that an existing user has. The existing user has a ton of direct table access privileges and it will take days if I had to do each grant one by one like: grant select,insert,delete,update on 'table name' to 'user id'. Is there a way of copying or inserting an existing user's privilege and granting it to a new user.
I have an SSIS package built by another developer, and now that I'm running it under my login the passwords won't save. The solution and packages are setup with ProtectionLevel EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey, but how do I get the User Key to reset so I can now save passwords? I can re-enter them, but whenever I enter hte password and test it then click OK it still has the red arrow next to the connection as if there's an error. I can create new connections and those passwords save fine, but with 40-50 items in this package I hate the thought of having to go into each and change the connection.
I tried changing the package and solution to DontSaveSensitive then rebuilding and closing then reopening, I hoped there was some option to reset the User Key just as if I created the solution. If this option doesn't exist why?
I'm using the RTM version of Visual Studion 2008 and SQLServer Express.
Logged in as an administrator, I can create a connection to an mdf file and all is well.
As a normal user, attempting to create a connection gives the message "sqlservr.exe has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have tried this with UAC turned on and turned off. The result is the same. In Services I can see that SQLEXPRESS is running, but each time I try to connect, I get the "stopped working" message.
For existing database programs that have the .mdf file stored in the project folder, I can run the program in the VS IDE on my XP machine and on my Vista machine as administrator, but not as a normal user.
I'm not looking for a workaround to make this work once, but the cause and solution to the problem. This is for an introductory VB textbook and we must be able to move a database program from one machine to another and make it work. Everything I have read says that SQLExpress should be able to do that.
I am trying to migrate reporting services from SQL server 2000 to SQL 2005. I followed the migration steps listed in one of the TechNet documents. Installed SQL 2005 and SP2.
Backed up existing SQL 2000 databases and restored on SQL 2005.
Went to Configuration tool and then to the Database setup. Connected to SQL 2005.
Clicked on the Upgrade button. The upgrade fails and I always get the following errors:
"The database version (C.0.6.54) does not match your reporting services installation. You must upgrade your Reporting services database"
Then I get this exception:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot find the user 'RSExecRole', because it does not exist or you do not have permission. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteNonQueryTds(String methodName, Boolean async) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.InternalExecuteNonQuery(DbAsyncResult result, String methodName, Boolean sendToPipe) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Common.DBUtils.ApplyScript(String connectionString, String script) at ReportServicesConfigUI.SqlClientTools.SqlTools.ApplyScript(String connectionString, String script)
I do not understand why it is looking for user 'RSExecRole', which is a role.
My goal is to write a DR plan where i am restoring all user databases onto a diffrent server in a event of hardware failure. I was trying to figure out a way to extract DDL of user accounts and their permissions on all user databases so i can simplify my DR documentation.
This is the plan I came up with...to restore all system and user dbs on a different Physical SQLServer.
1. build named instance $PROD
2. restore master database
- startup sqlserver in single user mode -m or DAC sqlcmd -S ServerName -U sa -P<xxx> –A net stop MSSQLSERVER$PROD net start MSSQLSERVER$PROD -m - restore database master from disk e:master.bak with replace;
3. start sqlserver normally
4. stop SQLServer agent
5. restore msdb
-restore database msdb disk e:msdb.bak with replace;
