SQL Security :: Create Linked Server Using Windows Authentication
Sep 9, 2015
I have two SQL Server machines - RPTPROD and DATAPROD.
I wanted to create a linked server from RPTPROD pointing to DATAPROD using Windows Authentication. When I tried to create this linked server, I keep getting this error
"Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANNOYMOUS LOGON' (Microsoft SQL Server,Error: 18456)".
On the "Security" page, I chose "Be made using the login's current security context". I'm sysadmin on both SQL Server machines.

I have set up two SQL server (e.g. Server1 and Server2) which are set up to use Windows Authentication with my login (e.g. login1).On Server1 I have created a linked server to Server2, I have then selected the Security tab and added my local login and selected impersonate. I have then selected ‘Be Made using the login’s current security context’.I then receive the error message ‘The linked server has been updated but failed a connection test. Do you want to edit the linked server properties?’

I have a linked server defined on a SQL Server 2005 SP2 standard edition server using the IBMDASQL OLEDB driver. The linked server has been defined and working for months when used from a SQL Server authenticated session. I started converting our developers to Windows Authentication and access to the linked server is denied when used from a Windows Authenticated session. Here are the error messages:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "IBMDASQL" for linked server "DB2ARUBA" reported an error. Access denied.
Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "IBMDASQL" for linked server "DB2ARUBA".
The linked server security is defined to login to the IBM iSeries using a fixed user and password regardless of the login using the linked server.
In order to analyze the problem, I created one sysadmin SQL Server authenticated login and one sysadmin Windows Authenticated login. The Windows Authenticated login refers to a domain login having administrator priviledges on the local SQL Server box.
So, when I connect to SQL Server using the SQL Authenticated login, a query against the linked server works. When I connect to SQL Server using the Windows Authenticated login, the exact same query against the linked server fails with the messages above.
Does anyone know why?

I have a scenario where I want to make a linked server query and report using windows service account credential. I can able to do link query if I RDP into the Server where linked server established using the service account and run query successfully but local client SSMS with my credential fails connecting linked server or querying. Looks to be a sql double hoping problem if so configuration each client domain account to enable delegation will be challenging as mentioned in the following articles instead service account only might work if possible.

We're using windows server 2012 R2 and sql server 2014 standard with mixed mode authentications. When we connect to other windows server using windows authentication and hit the following error:"the target principal name is incorrect cannot generate sspi context"..is the above err related to mixed mode authentications at installation?

This is for SQL Server 2005
When logged onto a server and connecting using windows authentication (either by server name or localhost) I am getting in fine, but when I connect using the IP I get the following error.
I can log in using SQL Server authentication with the IP.

I have seen similar questions, but none of the answers have solved my problem.
I have several SQL2000 servers running under Win2003. In the past, we have been using SQL logins, but I have been trying to transition to using Windows Authentication. It has been working great except that sometimes queries using linked servers fail.
The linked servers are set up for the connection to use the login's current security context.
For testing this problem, I have limited myself to two servers to do this between. My Windows account is defined with sa rights on both servers. I have tried explicitly to impersonate my account, I have told it to explicitly use the same account and password on the other server. I have tried not listing my account and letting it default my original setting of using current security context. (if I tell it to use the sa account remotely, that does work)
Both SQL Servers run under the same domain account. That account had delegation rights. My account is not marked as sensitive. The computer account has delegation rights. There is a Service Principle Name defined for both servers.
I have tried everything I can find to try, yet I still get the following message (or something similar, depending on which settings I have changed around).
Msg 18452, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
What am I missing?

In my DB (SQL 2012) one windows authentication is created automatically and a schema is created exactly automatically that this user is owner of this schema. (e.g the user is domainx and schema exactly domainx).
I created a DDL Trigger on my DB to find out who and how it is created , but I didn't get any useful information.
I change the owner of schema that I can delete the schema and after that delete the user, and sometimes because the user is owner of a service , I have to alter the owner of the service to DBO and delete the user , but again and again exactly this user and schema (e.g domaninx ) are created as soon as I delete it.
I have read these topics : [URL] .... and [URL] .... but can't solve my problem.

Is it possible to create a windows authentication login for each of the computers on my network that will connect to sql server. I am developing a program that will be installed on multiple computers and we do not want to actually have to log in to sql server since we will have to log in to the server before opening the program and we dont want to have 2 logins. I would like to use windows authentication so that I do not have to program multiple connection strings in my program so that if more than 1 person accesses the database at the same time it will not cause a problem with using the same login. Is this possible and if so how would I go about setting up the logins. I am using SQL Server 2005 and XP SP2

I have a website written in asp.net and the current DATABASE logins do not use windows authenticaton. They are for online use only with a username and password. I'm trying to run my program locally on my machine and access the database locally. This is very frustrating. I'm able to connect to my database, but I can't login to it. Here's my connection string from ym webconfig file:
<add name="sqlConnectionString" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Connect Timeout=8; Initial Catalog=linkexchanger; Data Source=SCOTSQLEXPRESS; "/>
I have the MSSQL engine running and I have connected with the SERVER. My database is in my directory tree of Microsoft SQL Management Studio Express. The server is SCOTSQLEXPRESSI have attempted to add a login to my sql database by right clicking on the security folder to create a new login. My understanding is that under windows, I don't need a uid and pwd in my connection string . Thus I tried removing all of this just as you see above, and I get an error message every single time I try to create a login with windows authentication.
Can someone please explain how I make this work?
Thank you.
Scot

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?

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.

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?

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,

Hi,
We are changing our web application to use Windows Authentication instead of SQL Server Authentication.
Initially, we added the IUSR_MACHINENAME user to SQL Server. This works ok when SQL Server and IIS are both running on the same server.
However, this won't work if SQL Server and IIS are on different servers on the same domain.
After doing a lot of research on the internet, it seemed that the answer was to create a user on the domain and use that user in IIS as the anonymous user (and give that user the relevant rights on SQL Server).
However, I've seen other comments in articles on the internet saying "Running any web service as a domain user is ill-advised".
We are using ASP rather than ASP.NET. What is the correct (and most secure) way to go about this?
Best
Matt.

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

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??

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.

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!

When I use Windows authentication on My SQL Server Database, I can use Windows accounts to define access to read/write/modify databases, right ?
But, when someone access a ASP.NET Web Site that access this Database wich user is that going to be ?
The IIS users ? IWAN_SRV and IUSR_SRV ?

I'm almost sure that it's not possible, but I wanted to ask in case that I'm missing something.Is it possible to get the Windows user when someone logins using SQL Server Authentication? I know how to get the hostname, but I can't find how to make the next step.By the way, do sleeping connections affect performance? Would they consume resources such as RAM or network?

Brief Description: I would like to use C# to write a program to access a SQL Server instance which is at another PC and using Windows Authentication. (I know how to use SQL Server Authentication, but I need to use Windows Authentication only.)
Detailed Description:
1. I have two PCs, and I would like to write a C# program in PC1. to access SQL Server at PC2 with Windows Authentication only.
2. I installed Microsoft Dynamics POS system. I install the POS Database with Windows Authentication only at PC2, but then I can install POS at my PC1, and when I set up the connection to the SQL Server, POS will pop up a dialog to ask me the username and password. I can just use the PC2's windows user account to login. Then POS can work fine. I would like to do the same just like what they did.
3. I tried the following code at the PC2 (the same PC as the SQL Server running), and it is running fine. But if I copy the same program and run it at another PC, then it will pop up a "Logon failuer: unknown user name or bad password.".
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection myServerConn = new Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection();myServerConn.LoginSecure = true;myServerConn.ConnectAsUser = true;myServerConn.ConnectAsUserName = "username";myServerConn.ConnectAsPassword = "myPassword";myServerConn.ServerInstance = "myPCName\mySQLInstance";myServerConn.Connect();
Please help! Thank you!

Does anyone know how windows authentication works in SQL Server 2005 with regard to group membership? If a user is a member of two NT groups that have the same permissions in SQL then which group will be used to authenticate their login? The reason I ask is that logins have default languages associated with them so if a user is a member of NT group A with a default language of British English and is also a member of group B with a default language of US English then which one will be used and will it be the same one every time?
