I have created a local useraccount on the server (Mdtappsrv\mdtusr), from this account able to login to sql server and can access the database MDT. but when i try fetch the same database from IIS, getting
SqlException (0x80131904): Login failed for user Mdtappsrv\mdtusr
webconfig
Since SQL was installed along with the MDT installation, there was no option to enable mixed mode or to set SA password. To fix this problem created a new SQL instance, this can be achieved by installation of SQL express edition again.
During the installation will get option for changing to Mixed mode and setting up the SA password.
why this error comes?
I am using windows authentication. But i am getting error
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'
can any one help me in this how to solve this problem?
Most likely it means you're trying to connect from an impersonated context and you did not set up constrained delegation. See Manage Kerberos Authentication Issues in a Reporting Services Environment for details and troubleshooting.
First of all, I always prefer to use the 'impersonation' settings in the ISS configuration that do not set the user/password in the web.config. Everything was fine in the QA environment, but then I passed to the production environment and some options of the web site in production started to show the 'Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON' error.
The issue was that I copied the web-site configuration from the QA server, using the 'Save configuration to a file' option in IIS6 while creating a brand new Application Pool in the production server.
After several hours trying to solve this error, I just deleted the Application Pool, and used the 'Save configuration to a file' option to copy the Application Pool configuration and then restored it to the new server.
If you copy the web-site configuration, also copy the Application Pool configuration. That solved my problem, without changing anything about the authentication method, the database or the web-site itself.
Reporting Setup:
I had a report accessing datasource A, with a subreport which accessed datasource B.
The report connections were set to use Integrated Security.
From my development machine:
The "main" report would run perfectly fine from my development environment (as it was running everything as me.)
From the server:
I was able to execute the subreport directly, with no problem.
The main report would run, with the text "Error: Subreport could not be shown."
Actual Problem:
The subreport was executing under the NTAUTH\ANON user, because it was the Reporting Services code which was calling the sub-report. This error was in the SSRS Logs:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
Solution:
Set up the sub-report data connection to execute using a SQL User login.
Only grant that user execute on the particular procedure you're calling for the report.
This allowed me to get the report working without involving other departments that controlled the application servers (modifying web.configs or IIS configurations)
I am trying to deploy my website on windows server 2003.
Am i missing something or what is wrong from the following error message, how can I correct it? Thank

Typically, to troubleshoot this, you go to SQL Server Configuration Manager (SSCM) and:
ensure Shared Memory protocol is enabled
ensure Named Pipes protocol is enabled
ensure TCP/IP is enabled, and is ahead of the Named Pipes in the settings
Maybe it can help: Could not open a connection to SQL Server
Note : If this is a new instance of SQL Server be sure SQL Server and Windows Authentication is enabled
Right Click the Server in SSMS and pull up server properties
Go to Security--> Select 'SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode'
Restart the Server and Login with the credentials
Check if your connection string has "Trusted_Connection=true" added.
I had this same error message, turns out it was because I didn't have mixed mode auth enabled. I was on Windows Auth only. This is common in default MSSQL deployments for vSphere, and becomes an issue when upgrading to vSphere 5.1.
To change to mixed mode auth you can follow the instructions at http://support.webecs.com/kb/a374/how-do-i-configure-sql-server-express-to-enable-mixed-mode-authentication.aspx.
I had the same error by in SQL Server Management Studio.
I found that to look at the more specific error, look at the log file created by the SQL Server. When I opened the log file, I found this error
Could not connect because the maximum number of ’2′ user connections
has already been reached. The system administrator can use
sp_configure to increase the maximum value. The connection has been
closed
I spend quite some time figuring this out. Finally running the following code fixed my problem.
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
go
reconfigure
go
sp_configure 'user connections', 0
go
reconfigure
go

Edit
To view logs search for "logs" on windows startup button, click "view events logs". From there go to Applications under "Windows Logs". You can also choose "System" logs to see system wise errors. You can use filter on current logs by clicking "Filter Current Logs" on right side and then select "Error checkbox".
Just another possibility. I had to restart the sql server service to fix this issue for me.
The "real" error was in the SQL error log:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL14.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\log\ERRORLOG
Path will depend on your version of SQL Server
You should enable the Server authentication mode to mixed mode as following:
In SQL Studio, select YourServer -> Property -> Security -> Select SqlServer and Window Authentication mode.
Goto to SQL server using windows Credentials - > Logins - > Select the Login - > in the Properties -> Check if the Log in is enabled/disabled.
If Disabled, make it enable, this solution worked for me.
Adding this to my connection string worked for me:
Trusted_Connection=true
In C# and SQL SERVER, we can fix the error by adding Integrated Security = true to the connection string.
Please find the full connection string:
constr = #"Data Source=<Data-Source-Server-Name>;Initial Catalog=<DB-Name>;Integrated Security=true";
By looking into SQL SERVER log file in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\ERRORLOG", it says
"Login failed for user 'XXXXX'. Reason: An attempt to login using SQL authentication failed. Server is configured for Windows authentication only. [CLIENT: ]"
The fixing method is to open "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio" -> Right click the SQL server and then select "Properties" -> Security -> Change the authentication to mixed mode. -> Restart SQL server.
I was getting this error today. In my case, looking at the ERRORLOG file on the SQL server gave me this error:
Login failed for user ''. Reason: Failed to open the
database '' specified in the login properties.
This was because I had deleted the "Default database" of this user a few days ago. Setting the default database to my new database fixed the problem.
Hope this helps someone else.
I forgot to add the "Password=xxx;" in the connection string in my case.
I had the same error, Fixed it by ensuring that SQL server had SQL authentication mode enabled.
see images below.
To enable, go to server properties.
Click on the Security tab and select the SQL server and window server auth mode and press ok
You will need to restart the server for the changes to reflect, should be fine now.
Enable Mixed authentication mode while installing MSSQL server. Also provide password for sa user.
Hi Just enable both for server authentication as per screen shot attached below.
All good and valid courses of investigation especially the logs for more info.
For those hitting this it might be a simple gotcha where when you have created the DB User you may have enforced a password policy and left the user to change the password on first login (i.e. left the checkboxes around the password field at their default values).
Very easily done in SQL Management Studio and can of course cause authentication issues off the bat that are masked unless you look into the logs.
Check that the server name you're logging into with SQL Management Studio matches your connection string.
I was getting this error today.
It turned out that I hadn't realised the machine with SQL Server installed had multiples servers running. I had in fact put my database in a totally different server to the one I thought I was using. (So my connection string was pointing to a server with no database)
Hence, When .net tried to access the database it couldn't find anything and gave only a misleading error message about pipes.
I opened the correct server in SQL Management Studio, added my database to and then all worked fine.
(If the correct server isn't available in the dropdown, try browsing for it.)
In my case it was a spelling mistake in the database name in connection string.
This is old but I had the problem in the connect dialog that it was still defaulting to a database I had removed. And by running those commands the default database in the prompt wasn't changing.
I read somewhere I can't find now, that if you open the "Connect to Server" dialog and then select "Options" and select "Connection Properties" tab by typing the default database (no by selecting from the drop down) the database will then stay on that new value entered. This sounds like a flaw to me but in case someone was wondering about that, that should fix the issue, at least on SQL Server 2012
I know i am probably the only one that will have this problem in this way. but if you deleted the mdf files in the C:/{user}/ directory, you will get this error too. restore it and you are golden
I ran across this in a code-first application which expected the database to be there:
Make sure the database is created / the name in the connection string is correct.
I had the same problem. I tried all the suggested answers in this page but to no avail! Finally, I tried the steps below and it worked for me:
In SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer, right-click the server, and then click Properties.
On the Security page, under Server authentication, select the new
server authentication mode, and then click OK.
In the SQL Server Management Studio dialog box, click OK to
acknowledge the requirement to restart SQL Server.
In Object Explorer, right-click your server, and then click Restart.
If SQL Server Agent is running, it must also be restarted.
Then try this in your Package Manager Console:
Scaffold-DbContext "Server=YourServer;Database=YourDB;Persist Security Info=False;User=YourUserName; Password=YourPassword; MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=False; TrustServerCertificate=False; Connection Timeout=30;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models -Context DatabaseContext -f
In my case, my situation was a little different.
1. My Mistake: I was missing a ";" in stringConnection. I know this is a newbie bug, but I am new to C # and SQL Server. I have one day :)
private string connectionString = "Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=FundamentalsCSharp"
+ "User=sa;Password=123456";
2. My Solution: Put a ";" it was missing after the phrase "FundamentalsCSharp" and it worked.
private string connectionString = "Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=FundamentalsCSharp;"
+ "User=sa;Password=123456";
3. Note: Change "FundamentalsCSharp" for your owned Initial Catalog.
I hope this can be of use to someone. Thanks!
In my case, my project is Asp.net Core 3.1 and this is my connection string
"ConnectionString": "Data Source=.; Initial Catalog=WebDB; user Id=sa; Password=123"
And database name in sql server webdb (lower case in sql server).
After many time change database name webdb in connecion string and worked fine.
For those doing entityframework code first, also check to enture you have done your migrations.
The best place to look for the root cause is the sql server error log
In my case My disk was full 99%, It worked after I freed up to 80% of the disk.
