Blank password for sa user in SQL server

i have already checked and confirmed that checkboxes in the SA login properties does not have a tick mark and also saved the properties window after leaving the password blank
but when I'm unable to login to the software that is being connected to the respective database in sql server, i find that a password has been assigned to the sa user
our application is not working if a password has been set for the sa user. please give me a solution to set a blank password for sa user and also to make sure that a password is not getting assigned automatically

Why not just disabling SA login?

Which user for a contained database - SQL Server 2012

Hi,
if I've a contained db and I need to create an user for this db in order to porting this contained database to different servers inside the same domain, which type of user do I need to create?
For this user I don't want to apply any further configurations.
Any suggests to me, please?

That still doesn't parse to me... Lets break it down:
"...for the contained db to port to a server to another server in the same domain..."
I assume you mean "... from a server to another server...". The unclear thing here is exactly how you define "to port". For the database to be restoreable? Nothing has to be done. To not have orphaned users? Well, you don't get orphaned users for Windows
users, only SQL Server users. Is this Windows login already existing in the source database? Does it have permissions assigned for it that you need to keep. If so, why are we talking about crating a *new* users*? Many questions marks here...
Next part: "I need to create an user that doesn't require to accomplish any further user configurations"
Are we talking about creating a user for the purpose of performing the port? Or a user that is expected to use this database after this port? Or does this user exist already?
As for the "doesn't require to accomplish any further user configurations" part, I still don't understand this. Are you asking if all you have to do is to create this Windows user? Then the answer is possibly "yes", but it depends on your answers to my above
questions - i.e. a bigger picture of your scenario and what in the end you are trying to accomplish.

system automatically assigns a PW for guest accounts.
Hetti Arachchige V Aravinda is correct.
Hackers will use a key generator for guess accounts mailed to you, if you click, your are actually installing a run script, usually this will run all the time, if there is an connection, the guest account will tell you the connection and where.
This is most famous with IIS ftp service for guest accounts. This was a major flaw with IIS ftp service in previous OS the ftp world get confused with the amount of failed attempts and grant admin abilities to your ftp.
Your event for guest account would show may attempts, this is a very common old way that spammers used to connect to a device to spread spam.
Wireshark is a sure way to trace packets in and out of your ISP. You can now see what is coming. if you do this, do not let pcap run on start up. I am positive you have nothing to worry about. If you do trace your IP and you see lots of proxys coming
in, I suggest you contact your ISP about this.

Change password connect SAPR3 to MS SQL Server

hello.
want to change password for all logins in MS SQL Server.
how its correctly change password for SAP logins?
or where i can change password for SAP so, that we can work in SAP.
thank you.

Quote from SAP Note 50088
IIa Changing the password for the user 'sapr3'
If the OPS$ user has already been created as described above, the password for the 'sapr3' user can be changed at any time. As user <SAPSID>ADM, you must follow two steps (replace <new password> with the new password for the user 'sapr3'):
1. Stop the SAP System.
2. Log on as user <SAPSID>ADM to the host on which the R/3 database for the SAP System is running.
All the following actions have to be carried out on this host.
3. Change the entry for the user 'sapr3' in table SAPUSER.
a) Start sqldba72 (or svrmgr23, svrmgr30) and log on to the database with 'connect internal'.
b) Execute an update on the table SAPUSER.
'update OPS$<SAPSID>ADM.SAPUSER set PASSWD='<new password>'
where USERID='SAPR3';'
4. Change the password for the 'sapr3' user the database with the following commands:
'connect internal'
'alter user sapr3 identified by <new password>;'

Two things. First, I'm not exactly sure what password you are trying to
change. The LDAP server's password or a user's password in the LDAP
server. Second, could you please post a stack trace.

Hai,
This condition based execution requires - javascript coding.
In miscelleaneous tools bar, you have an option of SCRIPT_ITEM writer tool, drag the tool into your WAD layout, and select the properties , choose the editor option and paste your coding. that's it.
Alternate option :
in your web application design layout , you will fine XHTML coding editor , there you need to write coding and execute the same.
Hope this will help to you.

Users using SQL Server Authentication

What tables/views would I use to create a list of users using SQL Server Authentication? I want the name, whether password (complexity) policy is set and whether password expiration is set. I only want current/active users.

You can query query sys.sql_logins to get this information.

If you're in the Users pane of the server app, and you select Network Users from the drop-down near the top, there's a small padlock icon at the bottom. Is it locked or open? If locked, click it and enter credentials into the authorisation box that opens

Firefox is not prompting to save password for specific user on specific site. How can I correct this?

I am using saved passwords feature. The site in question is a common webmail site. I have more than one account for this site. Usernames and passwords for each account were stored in Firefox 'Remember Passwords' feature. I unintentionally deleted one entry from the dropdown list that is displayed when I go to the site's login page. Now, when I log in to this account, Firefox will not prompt to save the password. If I display my saved passwords list, there are entries for the other accounts on this site, but none for the user account in question. The Saved Passwords 'Exceptions' list is empty. How can I get Firefox to re-prompt to save the password for this user on this site? (Note: When I speak of 'user', I am not referring to user account on the PC or a specific Firefox user profile.)

I am using Avast free version. Today I removed the LAN cable out of the 24 port switching hub and plugged directly into the router port. Now the program runs fast when checking for emails. Looks like all the emails are showing up. I do have other computers plugged into the switching hub with no problems. The hub is brand new. My thinking is the cable connector might be to blame. I will try re-crimping the wires. As for now, things are running good. I will keep investigating. Thanks

How can I change the password for the USER in SAP.

How can I change the password for the USER in SAP?
also I want to change the Language and date Format b/c it's displaying in German language..

Hi,
Assuming that User has already his/her user-id and password, and now he/ she wants to change it.
select the client and provide Log-in credentials. Now, instead of 'ENTER' there is one Tab: 'New Password' (up, left hand). Click it.
Now, system will ask for new password to change.
If you are asking from Basis point of view, then T.code: SU01 - User Maintenance.
Enter User's id and Click Change icon.
It will lead to Page: Maintain User.
Here, Select tab: Logon Data
There is a Sub-Tab: Password.
Here, key-in change password and SAVE.
For Language and Date format, contact your Basis-Personnel.
Best regards,
Amit

Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program

Hi friends,
Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program by specifying client number and user id. in selection screen.
if any code for that to reset password please mail me.
Thanks & Regards,
Yogesh

Hello Yogesh,
Yes you can reset the password for any body using ABAP Code. But for that you really don't need any client number.
If this process is on regular basis, then recommended is to use BAPI for changing the user details Otherwise BDC also works fine.
=> Function Module - BAPI_USER_CHANGE
Call this in the program for resetting the password.
=> CALL TRANSACTION 'SU01' USING InternalTable
This will be executed in the BDC of SU01 transaction recording. Use the Password Change button in the application toolbar of transaction while recording.
Hope this helps.
PS If the answer solves your query, plz close the thread by marking it solved and rewarding each reply.
