Logging query errors: permission

I recently formatted my pc, everything is set but one thing, the sql server db.

I can't remember how I set the permission for my local machine for the db.

Error: Login Faile for <machineName>\ASPNET

How do I add the user to access the db?

Thanks all,

Zaththe ASPNET is a local account that you need to assign to some role in SQL server.
Create a new Logon in SQL server for that account and give that Login the appropriate DB permissions.

Do NOT make that account a member of your local Administrators group. youd never run a live server that way so dont do it with a dev server either.|||In Enterprise Manager, I added ASPNET for one of the roles.

Still login failed.

I added the new role to the db_owner, still failed.

I went to security folder, added ASPNET there as well in Logins, still no luck.

The conn string I am using is...

<add key="ConnectString" value="Data Source=localhost; Initial Catalog=dbName; User ID=ASPNET; Password=*********; Trusted_Connection=True;"
No wonder I like to stick to coding... LOL

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Zath|||When trusted_connection=true, the userid and password are not required as the user credentials are derived from the machine logon.

i.e the machines ASPNET account.

your connection string includes a userid and password which might be getting evaluated as SQL credentials even though your specifying to use a trusted_connection. (your mixing your security options)

adding the ASPNET machine account to a role is not the same as creating a SQL login with the name ASPNET.

try removinguser id andpassword from your connection string
or
try creating an actual SQL Login and turning off Trusted_Connection|||Try this url http://whoozoo.co.uk/winxpFilePerms.htm use it to configure file permissions
in Windows XP and then give Asp.net account read and write permissions for the application folder before setting up the SQL Server Permissions for same account with DBO permissions in the Database created for the application. Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Gift Peddie|||I tried both ways and still no luck.

With just the id and password, I get this error...
Login failed for user 'ASPNET'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection

And with the Trusted_Connection and no id or pw, just the login failed.

Ironically, I work in IIS Admin and am familiar with permissions, but this db thing has me stumped... LOL

I even tried to create a new test db but with the same results.

Any more suggestions will be helpful,

Thanks again,

Zath|||SUCCESS!!!!!

I knew I would get it, I always do... It's a curse I tell ya, a curse... LOL

In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, under the db in question, go to Security Folder, then logins (which I did before)

Create the the new user, in this case I created ASPNET.

But, don't use SQL Server Authentication, but use Windows Authentication.

Input the new user, then choose from the drop down list your local machine name.

I did however create the ASPNET user in the wwwroot folder permissions, don't know if this was required first, most likely... but I'm in.....

And don't know why the userid and pw didn't work, but doesn't matter now....

Used this conn string...

----
<add key="ConnectString" value="Data Source=localhost; Initial Catalog=dbName; Integrated Security=SSPI; PWD=Trusted_Connection=True;"
---
I'm sure when I'm ready to transfer to "production" server and change the conn string, it will work fine because it does in my main app!

Thanks for the help everyone!

I have determined the difference between getting the above denial and succes
s
is the enabling of the 'Control server' permission on the 'Server' object
(grant = true -> you can connect) for our application. I am trying to
determine 'what' in our application at time of connect is requiring this
'Control server' permission.
I would have thought 'Connect SQL' permission would be all that is required.
The userid trying to login is a domain account, with NO admistrative
privileges, is trying to access the local (as in local to the machine, not
network access involved) SQLEXPRESS server.
The failure happens immediately trying to open the connection using connect
string
ConnectionString "Data Source=COUGAR\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial
Catalog=RC2Official;Integrated Security=True;Persist Security
Info=False;Pooling=False;Packet Size=4096" stringI have determined that installing a new instance of SQLEXPRESS, on the same
computer, and configured exactly the same as the original instance, I do not
have the problem of requiring 'Control server' permission. A simple 'Connect
Sql' permission will suffice (as I expected)
There is obviously something 'different' about my original SQLEXPRESS
database configuration, or internal tables that is causing the problem.

I understand that you could not locally connect to your SQL EXPRESS server
unless you grant "Control Server" permission to the domain login account.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.
I think that your connection string is no problem. What is the result if
you explicitly add the database role db_datareader to the user?

What happens if you try to login with SQLCMD to the Express instance
with the same login?
Does "SELECT * FROM sys.server_permissions WHERE state = 'D'" return
anything? "SELECT * FROM sys.database_permissions WHERE state = 'D'"?

From this article, we can see that CONTROL SERVER permission is implicitly
impact many other server permissions including CONNECT SQL. By default, if
you create a login (CONNECT SQL is granted), it is granted automatically. I
think that this permission might be denied sometime before. That is why
you must grant CONTROL SERVER permission
GRANT Server Permissions (Transact-SQL)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186717.aspx
You can run the T-SQL statement to check the server permissions:
SELECT t2.name,t1.* FROM sys.server_permissions t1 , sys.server_principals
t2 where t1.grantee_principal_id = t2.principal_id and t1.type<>'R'
By default, once a new login created, there is only one permission CONNECT
SQL record in the result of this query.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me
know. It is my pleasure to be of assistance.

That is how subsequent testing was done (using SQLCMD running from a cmd
shell that was operating under the username 'THOUGHTS\LimitedUser'). The
failure is the same.

the server (pretty powerful user!) The user should only require the default

Please note that I tried the case where I GRANTED ALL the permissions

There is still something that CONTROL SERVER permission 'gives you' besides
implying all the other server permissions (but I don't know what 'that' is)

Granting CONTROL SERVER allows the login. CONNECT SQL permission alone
should suffice (it does on the OTHER SQLEXPRESS instance running on the same
computer).
The question is why does one instance of SQLEXPRESS with (as far as I can
determine) the same configuration deny login and the other instance does not
.
Where in the registry (if any) should I look to start comparing
configuration parameters for the SQL server instances to determine if there
is some left over registry value that may be causing the problem ?
Anyplace else ? Other sys.* databases ?

And you tried to connect to the same database, or did you also try one
like tempdb?
What happens if you create an SQL login and try with that one.
Have you checked that there are no logon triggers on the server?
Sorry, I don't really have any good ideas, and I am just clutching at
straws.
