Trusted Security In A Workgroup

Jan 17, 2007

Good afternoon,

so here is a question I've been struggling with that I thought folks on
the forum might have some wisdom kicking around on. I have several
production servers that are living within a workgroup where there is no
domain controler. However, I would still like to set up trusted
security for my asp.net applications. IIS is living on one server, and
SQL server on another. Is there a way I can add a trusted relationship
to the machine and account that the IIS app is running under?

My thanks in advance!

IIS Access To SQL Server With Trusted Security

Dec 7, 2000

Does anyone know of a component or other mini application that can be run on the IIS server and allow IIS to access SQL Server 7 databases using Trusted Security.

Our security unit has required us to run SQL Server with Trusted Security so changing to Mixed mode is not an option. We are also not allowed to use Basic Authentication for Active Server Pages with IIS. IIS and SQL server are also on different machines.

We are looking into the possibility of trying to create a component that would run on the IIS machine to allow us to use Trusted Security to the SQL Server (in effect try to make it work the same way that the Cold Fusion product does).

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Trusted Connection Security Breach?

Apr 17, 2002

I have a user who has some ODBC connections that use SQL Authentication (through a generic id)to connect to SQL Server that work fine. What worries me is the user can access the same SQL Server throught NT authentication and connect through QA, EM (registering a server) or ODBC, even though she is not listed in the security of that SQL Server as a SQL user or and NT user. Worse is that she seems to have full rights to the server. I had her log in on another box and the same thing happened. I am on SQL 2000 SP1. Anyone have any ideas to is it time to call MS?

Current Security Context Not Trusted When Using Linked Server From SAP

Dec 31, 2006

Hello,

I am experiencing a head-scratcher of a problem when trying to use a Linked Server connection to query a remote SQL Server database from our SAP R/3 system. We have had this working just fine for some time, but after migrating to new hardware and upgrading OS, DBMS, and R/3, now we are running into problems.

The target database is a named instance on SQL Server 2000 SP3, Windows 2000 Server. The original source R/3 system was also on SQL Server 2000 (SP4), Windows 2000 Server. I had been using a Linked Server defined via SQL Enterprise Manager (actually defined when the source was on SQL Server 7), which called an alias defined with the Client Network Utility that pointed to the remote named instance. This alias and Linked Server worked great for several years.

Now we have migrated our R/3 system onto new hardware, running Windows Server 2003 SP1 and SQL Server 2005 SP1. I redefined the Linked Server on the new SQL 2005 installation, this time avoiding the alias and referencing the remote named instance directly, and it tests out just fine using queries from SQL Management Studio. It also tests fine with OSQL called from the R/3 server console, both when logged on as the application service account with a trusted connection, and with a SQL login as the schema owner. From outside of the application, I cannot make it fail. It works perfectly.

That all changes when I try to use the Linked Server within an SAP custom program (ABAP), however. The program crashes with a database interface error. The database error code is 15274, and the error text is "Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is not trusted."

I have set the "trustworthy" property on the R/3 database, I have ensured the service account is a member of the sysadmin SQL role, I've even made it a member of the local Administrators group on both source and target servers, and I've done the same with the SQL Server service account (it uses a domain account). I have configured the Distributed Transaction Coordinator on the source (Win2003) system per Microsoft KB 839279 (this fixed problems with remote queries coming the other way from the SQL2000 system), and I've upgraded the system stored procedures on the target (SQL2000) system according to MS KB 906954. I also tried making the schema user a member of the sysadmin role, but that was disastrous, resulting in an instant R/3 crash (don't try this in production!), so I set it back the way it was (default).

What's really strange is no matter how I try this from outside the R/3 system, it works perfectly, but from within R/3 it does not. A search of SAP Notes, SDN forums, SAPFANS, Microsoft's KnowledgeBase, and MSDN Forums has not yielded quite the same problem (although that did lead me to learning about the "trustworthy" database property).

Any insight someone could offer on this thorny problem would be most appreciated.

Best regards,

Matt

System.Security.SecurityException: That Assembly Does Not Allow Partially Trusted Callers

Jan 4, 2008

I have successfully compiled & deployed the custom security extension. Currently I am having some runtime error when using the added Membership.Data.dll for authentication & authorization.

Membership.Data.dll
* signed with a strong name key
* [assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers] is added
* it uses Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.dll for database connection

I have also added connectionstring to web.config(s) under ReportManager and ReportServer.


Here is the exception:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.Security.SecurityException: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers. at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.ThrowSecurityException(Assembly asm, PermissionSet granted, PermissionSet refused, RuntimeMethodHandle rmh, SecurityAction action, Object demand, IPermission permThatFailed) at Membership.Data.DataProvider.Acquire(String DatabaseName) at Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity.AuthenticationUtilities.VerifyPassword(String suppliedUserName, String suppliedPassword) in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90SamplesReporting ServicesExtension SamplesFormsAuthentication SamplecsFormsAuthenticationAuthenticationUtilities.cs:line 116 at Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity.AuthenticationExtension.LogonUser(String userName, String password, String authority) in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90SamplesReporting ServicesExtension SamplesFormsAuthentication SamplecsFormsAuthenticationAuthenticationExtension.cs:line 70 at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.RSCustomAuthentication.LogonUser(String userName, String password, String authority) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2005Impl.LogonUser(String userName, String password, String authority) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2005.LogonUser(String userName, String password, String authority) The action that failed was: LinkDemand The assembly or AppDomain that failed was: Membership.Data, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=<key>The method that caused the failure was: Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Database CreateDatabase(System.String) The Zone of the assembly that failed was: MyComputer The Url of the assembly that failed was: file:///c:/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL.4/Reporting Services/ReportServer/bin/Membership.Data.DLL --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Access To The Remote Server Is Denied Because The Current Security Context Is Not Trusted

Jun 27, 2007

I am unable to run a stored procedure that accesses a linked Oracle database as a dataset for a deployed report in Reporting Services. I receive the following error:



An error has occurred during report processing.

Query execution failed for data set 'spName'.

Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is not trusted.



A few facts ...

The report previews fine in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600) report designer with VS being installed on my local machine and a shared data source referencing Server1
The deployed report on Server2 produces the error
The stored procedure code is similar to the following:

SELECT x.FieldName as OracleField

,y.FieldName as SSfield

FROM OracleLinkedServer..DatabaseName.TableName x

LEFT JOIN Server1.dbo.TableName y

The deployed report runs fine when the stored procedure code is changed as follows. This indicates to me that the problem is truly an Oracle connection issue;

SELECT 'ABC' as OracleField

,y.FieldName as SSfield

FROM Server1.dbo.TableName y

The Oracle database is a linked database on both SQL Server1 and on SQL Server2 database engines. (I don't see where in Server2 Reporting Services I can specify additional server connections.)
I've tried to trick Mr. Reporting Services on Server2 by creating a @L_TempTable in my stored procedure, inserting the data into it, then selecting from a SQL Server1.dbo.TableName LEFT JOIN @l_TempTable, but Server2 still knows I'm trying to get out to Oracle and rewards me with the error.
I can effectively run the Server1 stored procedure script on Server2 through MSSMS -- it's just the deployed report that references the stored procedure that doesn't work
The data source properties of the deployed report are as follows:

Select -- A Custom Datasource

Connection Type: Microsoft SQL Server

Connectoin String: Data Source=Server1;Initial Catalog=DatabaseName

Select -- Credentials stored securly in the report server

Username: UserName

Password: Password

Check -- Use as Windows credentials when connecting the the data source

Check -- Impersonate the authenticated user ...



(Please do not get sidetracked on the 'A Customer Datasource' selection above. I'd rather be using a shared data source, but right now, this is just the way it is.)



Anyone's expertise would be greatly appreciated. We have a great data warehouse but sometimes you just have to go back to the Oracle ERP and slug it out. What do I need to do to get a deployed report to effectively read from a stored procedure that references an Oracle table?



To everyone, thanks for reading!

Access To The Remote Server Is Denied Because The Current Security Context Is Not Trusted.

Aug 25, 2006

Hello,

In SQL 2005, from a stored procedure in a local database I am attempting to execute a remote stored procedure in another database on another server. I am getting the error referred to in the Subject when the local stored procedure tries to execute the remote stored procedure. A couple of comments:

The remote database is set up as a linked server in the local database. As part of the linked server definition I selected the 'be made using this security context', and provided a local user name and password.
The remote database is set to Trustworthy.
I have tried every combination of WITH Execute As on the remote stored procedure but nothing works.
I can query against the remote database successfully within Management Studio. I can even execute the remote stored procedure successfully from within M.S., but not from within my local stored procedure when it is run.

Thank you for your help on this - Amos.

SQL 2012 :: Access To Remote Server Is Denied - Current Security Context Is Not Trusted

Feb 10, 2014

We've got 3 SQL Servers all SQL Server 2012. We have a Master server and 2 production servers (let's call them A and B). The Master has linked servers defined for both A and B in an identical way.

A and B both have the same databases and each has a Stored Proc that gets called by the Master server.
An SQL Agent job executes the stored proc on both A and B.
It works fine against A but not B.

If we execute the stored proc in a query window under our windows account (domainowner) it works, if we use SetUser to pretend to be the SQL Server Agent account (let's call it domainagent) A works and B doesn't.

Executing against B returns the error "Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is not trusted."

domainagent is a sysadmin on both Server A and B.

Trustworthy is set to ON in both the Master Server Database it's executing from and the remote databases on both A and B.

All 3 databases have the same owner (let's call it domainowner).

Error 15274: Access To The Remote Server Is Denied Because The Current Security Context Is Not Trusted.

Sep 12, 2007

Hi,

I have a stored procedure servicing a queue (sql 2005).
The stored procedure updates some data in a different server and database.
If the queue contains messages and I execute manually the stored procedure, I don't have any problem at all.
However, if I set the queue to use the same stored procedure, it gives me the following error:

Error 15274: Access to the remote server is denied because the current security context is not trusted.

Any ideas?

Workgroup Upgrade

Jul 6, 2007

Has anyone had problems like this.
I recently got SQL Server 2005 Workgroup edition. I did the normal
'read everything I could' to make sure I was getting the correct version for my business.
After having to wait 4 weeks to upgrade, as we were waiting for our accounting system to be upgraded to come inline with SQL 2005, I came across the problem where DTS is not really compatible to the degree I needed with this edition.
I have since gone back to the reseller and they say we can't exchange it for Standard edition as 4 weeks has passed.
The only thing we can do is pay out (1 month later) another £6,000 to get the version we need, totaling £11,000
Being that we are a small business, paying out another £6,000 isn't an option.
Does anyone have any good advise on this?
Many thanks

Domain Vs. Workgroup

Jan 31, 2008

My company has a large-ish website and we are migrating to new
servers. There will be a web server (accessible to the world) backed
by a SQL Server 2005 Standard server (only accessible by the web server and
through VPN/Remote Desktop to administrators and our internal
network). We can either put the database server (which is not in a
cluster) on our domain or leave it in a workgroup. My first thought
is leave it in a workgroup simply for security and reliability (i.e.
if the DC goes down or loses connectivity), but people here are
disagreeing with me.

Should I put the database server (which is not used internally at all)
on the domain or leave it in a workgroup?

Connecting To MDF File Over Workgroup

Hi
I've build a client management (Windows) application in VS2005 which works fine on the local development machine but falls over when trying to connect to the SQL Server Express file located on a second machine on the same Workgroup. Several of the apllications will connect to the database file from networked computers.
The error I get when testing the connection or trying to connect via the App is:---------------------------------------------------------------The file "Z:BushBreaks.MDF" is on a network path that is not supported for database files.An attempt to attach and auto-named database for file z:ushbreaks.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened or it is on a UNC share.---------------------------------------------------------------
How can I configure this database and/or connection to be able to allow connections to the MDF file? Please note that security is not an issue if that is at all relevant.

Cluster On Workgroup And Then Domain

Sep 26, 2005

We have a set of client servers which will include a SQL Server 2000 active/passive cluster attached to a SAN. We have all the equipment here (no attachment to client site) to configure. My worry is since it will have to be setup as a workgroup, and then shipped to client to add to their domain, is this a doable option. has anyone had to do this or tried this? Or would we be better off shipping whole thing to client and setting up cluster there?

Express Vs Workgroup - Should I Upgrade?

Apr 26, 2007

Hello,

I am currently hosting my ecommerce site on a dedicated server with dual AMD processors and 2 gigs of ram. I have on average 20 people on the site at one time.

on this server i have sql express, from which i understand, only utilizes one of the processors and 1gig of ram. I have the choice to pay an extra 150 a month to have my host put sql workgroup on my system.

My question is, will i notice any kind of real performace boost by upgrading. Or at the level that i am at, there wont be much difference?

Any help would be very useful.

SQL Express Or Workgroup? How Do I Tell What Is Installed And Where?

Apr 5, 2007

Hi guys,



I am a Systems Engineer and was sent on a job to a site that has a newly created SBS 2003 R2 Premium box which was OEM pre-installed from Dell. The SBS install was evidently finished off by the I.T. guys at the site. Now along comes some software house to install their propritery application. During this install process, the software guy was unable to find an instance of SQL running and installs SQL 2005 Express and the Express Studio management console. He installs his application and before he leaves says to the I.T. guys "Oh and by the way, there is a 4GB limit per database on SQL Express. You will have to change that to workgroup edition before the data grows too big. Have a nice day byeee!!!".



The I.T. guys go "Huh? Lets call James." So now I have to get this database off the SQL Express instance and onto a workgroup instance. I understand about detaching a database and re-attaching it. No prob there. What is confusing me is when I look at the default instance which should be a Workgroup instance, all I see is an Express instance.



What I am planning to do is rip out all the SQL 2005 stuff, leaving behind only Sharepoint, SBSmonitoring and WSUS stuff. The, using the SBS Premium cd's, install SQL 2005 again and updating the service packs for it again. Then mount the databases under it and get the software guys back in to reconfigure their application if need be.



Thing is, I have no idea how to sort it all out other than "Add remove programs" in control panel and remove the SQL 2005 stuff. What scares me however, is the thought of also removing the Sharepoint, WSUS and SBSMonitoring databases too.



Can someone help me with a procedure for sorting it out? How can I tell what I should uninstall and what I shouldn't? How do I tell if workgroup is already there and why did express steal the default instance?



Cheers

James

In the following scenario, I am getting the message 'Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection'.

I am running a Windows Server 2003 with development environment and Sql Server Management Studio in a workgroup on a virtual PC.

My SQL Server 2000 is running on a domain server.

On the virtual Pc I have setup my user login and password to be the same as my domain login and password. Why is the Management Studio not using impersonation and allowing me to connect to the SQL server on the domain?

Can't Connect To A Sql Express On A Workgroup Pc

Aug 8, 2007

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to connect to a sql express on a workgroup PC through sql server 2005 standard edition remotely but i can't.
I have checked and make sure that tcp/ip and other protocals are allowed. There is no firewall on both PCs and the sql browser service is running as well.
Somehow i can connect using the IP address but not the name?

Any idea why?
