Grant login Access to Sql Server to a User on Windows 8

Hi!
We have Sql Server installed on Windows 8.1 PC and on this PC, we have multiple Users with Microsoft email accounts. As we just migrated from WIndows 7 to WIndows 8, I am finding it challenging to grant permissions to every User with an account on the PC.
Please I anticipate your reply. Thanks

Hello,<o:p></o:p>
If those PCs are not part of an active directory domain, and they
are just part of a workgroup of computers, then you need to create SQL Server
logins to provide access to users working from other PCs.<o:p></o:p>
Please read instructions on the following article about how to
create SQL Server logins on SQL Server and use them to access SQL Server
databases.<o:p></o:p>
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/37274/Working-with-SQL-Server-Logins
Hope this helps.<o:p></o:p>

Accessing MS Sql Server with Java classes - problem connecting to socket

I found an example at this location which uses java classes to connected to MS Sql Server.
http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci1065992,00.html
--bummer - it is a login location - so I will include the article
Anyway, the example is using Websphere, but I am still on Jbuilder (will get wsad soon). So I planted the classes from the example in
C:\Borland\JBuilder\jkd1.4\jre\lib\ext\...the classes
Then I copied the code from the example to my jpx project and got an error that it could not connect to the socket. The only thing I changed in the code was the connection string:
--original string from example:
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://1433", "");
I was getting an error with the 2 argument version of DriverManager - and the second argument here was empty (properties argument). Here was my connection string:
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://Myserver:1433;User=sa;Password=");
I am only using the 1 argument version of DriverManager. Note that the password=" is blank because my RnD workstation is standalone - no one accesses the sql server except me - so no password. I also left out the last semicolon I noticed. Any suggestions appreciated how I could fix this.
Thanks

Sample code: Accessing MS SQL Server database from the iSeries
Eitan Rosenberg
09 Mar 2005
Rating: --- (out of 5)
Nowadays with the help of Java the iSeries can be integrated with other databases quite easy. This tip shows you how. The code included here uses the free Microsoft driver that can be downloaded from here. (SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Service Pack 3)
If your SQL server does not include the Northwind Sample Database you can find it here.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=07287b11-0502-461a-b138-2aa54bfdc03a&displaylang=en
The download contains the following files:
msbase.jar
mssqlserver.jar
msutil.jar
Those files needs to be copied to the iSeries directories (/home/r_eitan/ExternalJARs).
Here's the directory structure (on the iSeries) for this sample:
/home/r_eitan/ExternalJARs - Microsoft files (msbase.jar,mssqlserver.jar,msutil.jar)
/home/r_eitan/JdbcTest02 - My code (Main.java,Main.class)
The Java code
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
class Main {
* Connect to Microsoft SQL server and download file northWind.products as tab
* seperated file. (products.txt)
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
PrintStream outPut = new PrintStream(new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("products.txt")));
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
//Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://1433", "");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://Myserver:1433;User=sa;Password=");
System.out.println("Connection Done");
connection.setCatalog("northWind");
String sqlCmdString = "select * from products";
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(sqlCmdString);
ResultSetMetaData resultSetMetaData = resultSet.getMetaData();
int columnCount = resultSetMetaData.getColumnCount();
// Iterate throught the rows in resultSet and
// output the columns for each row.
while (resultSet.next()) {
for (int index = 1; index <=columnCount; ++index)
String value;
switch(resultSetMetaData.getColumnType(index))
case 2 :
case 3 :
value = resultSet.getString(index);
break;
default :
value = """ + resultSet.getString(index) + """;
break;
outPut.print(value + (index < columnCount ? "t" : ""));
outPut.println();
outPut.close();
resultSet.close();
connection.close();
System.out.println("Done");
catch (SQLException exception)
exception.printStackTrace();
catch (Exception exception)
exception.printStackTrace();
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My guess is that the server's host name isn't right. It necessarily (or even usually) the "windows name" of the computer. Try with the numeric IP address instead (type "ipconfig" to see it).
First aid check list for "connection refused":
- Check host name in connect string.
- Check port number in connect string.
- Try numeric IP address of server host in connect string, in case name server is hosed.
- Are there any firewalls between client and server blocking the port.
- Check that the db server is running.
- Check that the db server is listening to the port. On the server, try: "telnet localhost the-port-number". Or "netstat -an", there should be a listening entry for the port.
- Try "telnet serverhost the-port-number" from the client, to see if firewalls are blocking it.
- If "telnet" fails: try it with the numeric ip address.
- If "telnet" fails: does it fail immediately or after an obvious timeout? How long is the timeout?
- Does the server respond to "ping serverhost" or "telnet serverhost" or "ssh serverhost"?

Allowing users access to SQL Server 2014 analysis server cubes

I am using SQL Server 2014 analysis server and have created a number of cubes. These all function as expected however it seems that only windows users who are in an
administrator group can get access. All other users are denied access with the very vague error of 'Communication error'.
If I then add that user to our administrators group within the windows domain they instantly get access. I have defined roles for each cube (within analysis services) and then added both individuals (i.e. their windows domain user id) as well as their windows
domain groups to these roles but they still cannot get access - just get the error 'Communication error'.
I am using ADOMD on the client side which I know works because users in the administrators group can see the data. I have granted cube permissions using Management studio however no matter what front end we use (either our own App or EXCEL) if the user in
question is NOT in the administrator group in the domain they cannot get access to any of the cubes.
Any help anyone can provide would be much appreciated.

Hamishr,
According to your description, you want to grant the access permission to cube for the users who are not belong to Administrator group, right?
By default, no one except a Server Administrator or Database Administrator has permission to query cubes in a database. Cube access by a non-administrator requires membership in a role created for the database containing the cube. Membership is supported
for Windows user or group accounts, defined in either Active Directory or on the local computer. So in your scenario, please ensure the steps to grant permission are correct, you can refer to the link below check it.

I want to impersonate user when I access Microsoft SQL Server from powershell

Hi,
Actually I have to perform some SQL operation on my MSSQL server database. but problems is that I have given all credentials (windows fix login/password which can access database) in connection string. but when I execute the script then it is always using
my windows login and password and then giving error that not able to connect with it.
My personal windows credentials does not have access to my enterprise database that is why I am using service ID.
I came to know that I have to do user impersonation of user when i access database but how to do that?? can you guys give me the syntax for that as i have to perform all sql operation using impersonation.

Hello,
Can you please confirm login exist in the sql server and its mapped to particular database.
Are you directly connecting to SSMS?
Or using any 4 part query?

Impersonate user when accessing Microsoft SQL Server from powershell using Windows Authentication

Hi All,
Below is the powershell script to connect a SQL DB using windows authentication by impersonating a user. The user should have login access to the server. Script can be highly useful when service id is used to access DB using powershell.
[reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo") | Out-Null
$ds=$null
$conn = New-Object -typeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server -argumentList "Servername"
$db = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database
$conn.ConnectionContext.ConnectAsUser = $true
$conn.ConnectionContext.LoginSecure=$true
$conn.ConnectionContext.ConnectAsUserName = "username"
$conn.ConnectionContext.ConnectAsUserPassword ="password
$conn.Loginmode
$db = $conn.Databases.Item("dbname")
$ds = $db.ExecuteWithResults("select top 10 Name from Tablename")
Foreach ($t in $ds.Tables)
Foreach ($r in $t.Rows)
Foreach ($c in $t.Columns)
Write-Host $c.ColumnName "=" $r.Item($c)

That is OK when you want to manage the instance biut it wojn't work if the tools are not installed.
This works from anywhere all of the time and is simpler:
$datasource='MyServerInstance'
$database='NorthWind'
$connStr='Data Source={0}; Database={1}; Trusted_Connection=True;' -f '$datasource,$database
$conn=New-Object System.Data.SQlClient.SQlConnection($connStr)
$conn.Open()
$cmd=$conn.CreateCommand()
$cmd.CommandText='select * from products'
$rdr=$cmd.ExecuteReader()
0..($rdr.FieldCount-1) | %{$rdr.GetName($_)}
$conn.Close()
If you want credentials just add them.
$connStr='Data Source={0}; Database={1}; Trusted_Connection=True;UID={2};PWD={3};' -f $datasource,$database,uid,$pwd
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No, you need to identified before accessing to SQL Server. It is like you try turn on electric cooker before you open the door.

How can I develope a native mobile cross platform app that can access an SQL server.

I would do it in html5 as a web app but I also need to access an SQL server and upload data(text) pictures from the camera and
geolocation data etc.
I've developed many web based applications, but this is this first attempt to integrate native device functions AND interact with an SQL database.
So it would have to be able to use form data then add a photo and geolocation and send everything to the database.
A site with examples and/or tutorials would be nice.
To make things worse, I'd also have to be able to work offline and re-sync when networks connections allow.
If a native app would be too complex, then I was thinking I might be able to develope an app that gathers data then
passes the info on to a browser to connect with the database.
But as much as possible I don't want to have to swing back and forth between a browser and an app.
Pete

Here is a page a I bookmarked a while back to use jQUERY to access a php scripts sitting on a server that can then interact with the database in the usual way. This means that you will be able to use DW to create the usual HTML CSS and jQuery to make an interactive app.
I havn't yet tried this but a quick look over the script looks good. Make sure you use php that sanitizes input.

Is there any way of importing stuffs from Microsoft Access to SQL Server?

I have quite a big store of information Microsoft Access DB, but now i am required to switch to SQL Server?
Is there any way of importing to SQL Server, either by Java programming or manually?
Thank you in advance.

I like to give some tips on how to fulfil the requirement.. I haven't tried this. If you succeeded, it is well and good.
1) Using Java:
If you like to Java to import the data from MS Access to SQL Server, you have to write a JDBC Program in such a way that it has to retrieve the data from each MSAccess tables and store it in temperory java varaible.After writng into the temp. varaibles, the same thing will be written into SQL Server. The whole process is repeated for all the tables in MS Access.
2) Manual Process:
Try to get the data scripts from MS-Access for all the tables and Load the same into SQL Server
I hope that Manual Process consumes less time compared in writing the codes for transformation..
I hope that you got some idea on reading this. If you have any doubts, try to get back to me..

MS Access querying SQL Server: How to configure Network ACL?

I need to set up a highly restrictive ACL for access to a particular SQL server in our network. This ACL will reside on our core switch at the "front door" of our network and permit access to the SQL server only using the ports that
are necessary. The purpose is to A) Try to keep unauthorized users from gaining access to the host server and B) Should someone somehow gain unauthorized access to the host server. keep them from being able to "hop off" to other PC's on
the network.
The server will be accessed by clients using MS Access to query the SQL database and bring back reports. A few admins are actually able to make minor changes to the database such as updating a user list or location list. In other words, both
read and write access is needed to the SQL database.
I know that the default SQL server port is 1433, but according to a Microsoft Support article I read, "client ports are assigned a random value between 1024 and 5000".
I was really hoping I could just put something like "permit PC1 access to SQL Server on Port 1433" in my ACL, but after reading the MS Support article it sounds like I've got to allow almost 4,000 ports through?
Could someone help demystify this for me so I can build the right ACL?

The tool to use is SQL Server Configuration Management.
But what you can configure is which port SQL Server listens to. Which port the client listens to is not controllable as far as I know. But that can of course be many, since a client can have many connections to SQL Server. (And the range is not
restricted to 1024-5000. I connected over TCP locally, and I see this with netstat -a
TCP 127.0.0.1:6621 NATSUMORI:ms-sql-s ESTABLISHED
Then again, I don't see why you would have to open any ports for the clients at all. I have never heard of this being a problem.

Using the -force command as Saleesh noted should work, but will kill your contacts. If it's just a few users that are acting up, you can restore the contacts from backup for these users (export-csuserdata before you start).
Is it all users, or just a handful?

RH server 8 - upscaling from Access to SQL Server 2008?

Hi gang-
We are currently running RoboHelp Server 8 on the default Access database and Tomcat. We would like to increase the number of help projects that are tracked by the RH Server, and have concerns that Access will handle the increased load, so we are considering upsizing to SQL Server 2008.
Our IT people think this should be fairly straightforward, but want to know if Adobe provides any tool or has any recommendations when upsizing from Access to SQL Server.They are concerned about retaining things like primary and secondary keys, as well as any indexes that are currently in Access.
If anyone has experience with such a migration, please share!
Thanks,
-=Ed.

We are also currently on an Access DB and considering (have been for some time but that's a different story) upgrading to SQL Server. There is no migration tool from Access to SQL Server provided so you'd have to allow some additional effort if you want to retain the data. I am not an expert on DBs but I'm sure there are ways to migrate the data. I have found a few links when searching on Google. For example:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237980
Adobe does provide a cheat sheet at the link below which may be useful to you.
