Microsoft Access Security

What is the trick to setting of the security on a Microsoft Access Database?  I would like to send the user name and password using the “DB Tools Open Connec (Path).vi” or setting the password in the “file.udl”.  I am trying to prevent the user from just opening the database with Access 2002 and changing information.

In LabVIEW, all you have do is wire the appropriate username and password to the associated inputs on DB Tools Open Connection.vi. Is this what you are doing? If so, what error messages are you getting, or rather how is it not working? Also, how are you setting the security up in Access?

  • The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file \\fileserver\db\access.mdb

    Hi,
    I have Windows Server 2012 with SQL 2012 Standard SP1. I am using linked server, and Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable to access my database file made in Microsoft Access (.mdb) from network file server.
    EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'MyLinkedServer', @srvproduct=N'MyLinkedServer', @provider=N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc=N'\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\files\mydatabase.mdb'
    My SQL service is running with domain service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$ , i have added Full control for file share and NTFS permission on my file server folder (C:\Files).
    When I open (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my DB server SQL Management studio, I can browse tables and everything works.
    The problem is, if I open SQL management studio (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my File server or any other computer, when trying to browse my linked server i got error:

    I do not have any other program using my access database, and user has full control. I am trying to use in security mode - "For a login not defined in the list above, connections will be made without using a security context", i have also tried all four options.
    I am confused becouse it works from SQL server but from any SQL client domain member computer/server it does not work.
    I have same problem in another environment where I have Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 SP2.
    Please help.

    NTFS must be fine since it works from same server using same accounts.
    As I understand, adding my access file to Access trusted location could be a problem. I have tried now to add my access database file location to trusted locations for user which is my SQL service user (Windows Service - AD managed service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$)
    and my test user which I use to connect to sql server as a client from sql management studio. (Account is Domain Admins and have full permissions on SQL server also)
    I have added this .reg:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security]
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Documents]
    "LastPurgeTime"=dword:01592874
    "DisablePromptOpenNetworkTrustedDocuments"=dword:00000000
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations]
    "AllowNetworkLocations"=dword:00000001
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\Location0]
    "Description"="My file server"
    "AllowSubFolders"=dword:00000001
    "Path"="\\\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\\files\\"
    I have done this for SQL service account user and my personal test account as I said. I have tried to logoff and restart sql service and all servers also.
    The same problem still persists.
    Anyway, thank you for giving me a hint.

  • Microsoft's Security Update kills iTunes if on a Domain Server!

    Do You Use iTunes at work? Is your computer logged in to a Domain Server? Did you just update your computer with Microsoft’s latest Security Patch (as of 1/6/06)?
    Then you might have a problem. I’m sure that Microsoft will probably figure out a way to fix this someday, but for now, iTunes will no longer function for you in this scenario. The problem is that iTunes needs to access your My Music Folder. If your domain server is set up like the one I use, then your My Music folder resides in you’re My Documents folder, which lives on a Domain Server, not on the computer in front of you. This was not a problem before this patch. Now, something that Microsoft’s security patch did has blocked iTunes from being able to access the folder on the Domain Server.
    Now, if you were like me, you updated your Computer Friday with the new security patch and shut it down for the weekend to save out planet’s energy resources. Monday, you powered up your computer and started to work. At some point, you thought you might like to hear a tune. You clicked on the iTunes shortcut and BAM! You got a bad message:
    No matter what you did, you could not launch iTunes. Don’t even try it, nothing will help, unless you follow the steps below. I should note that these steps were discovered by using Apple’s info at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398. The problem with their steps is that you can’t even find you’re My Music folder with Tweak UI after the security update if it’s on a Domain Server.
    This Discovery is attributed to one R. Crippen. His love for iTunes drove him away from his onus of real work so he could spend time breaking Microsoft’s attempted sabotage of iTunes.
    Here we go.
    1. Download and install Tweak UI from the Microsoft PowerToys website at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Note: This utility is for Windows XP only.
    2. Launch Tweak UI. In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol next to My Computer and select Special Folders. Look in the Folder list in the Right Pane. You will notice that My Music is not in the list. Close Tweak UI.
    3. Open Add/Remove Programs and check the box for “Show Updates.” Find the latest Security Update in the list. Select it and click Remove. Reboot after the update is removed.
    4. Create a new location where you would like the My Music folder to live. I made an iTunes folder at the root level of my C drive. Put it anywhere you like (not on the Domain Server).
    5. Go to your My Documents folder. Copy the My Music folder to the new location you picked for it.
    6. Launch Tweak UI. In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol next to My Computer and select Special Folders. Look in the Folder list in the Right Pane. You will notice that My Music is now in the list.
    7. Select My Music in the drop-down list. Click the Change Locations button. Select the new location and click OK.
    8. OK, now that Windows will be looking in a new location for the My Music folder, Launch iTunes. If everything went well, it works!
    9. You’re not done yet. That Security patch was probably put out there for a reason. Update your computer and reinstall the latest security patch again. You can probably find the Windows Update link at the top of your Programs list.
    10. Reboot the computer after the update.
    11. Launch itunes
    12. Everything works! You have an updated computer on the Domain Server and iTunes works again! Yay!
    Stupid Microsoft!

    I'm still keeping an eye out for more cases like the 2 I've seen myself. I need a bigger testing audience, but I don't think the circumstances are very common.
    So, your work computer is on a Domain. Is your "My Documents" folder on your Domain Server or is it on your local computer? That's where the problem arises, when itunes can't access the "My Music" where the itunes folder lives.
    Since my "My Music" folder in the My Documents folder was living on a server and not my local computer, something prevented iTunes from communicating with it. I know that the security update was the culprit, because once I uninstalled the update, iTunes worked again.
    Hopefully, I can find more cases of the problem just to verify. I just hope that is anyone else runs into the issue, this will help them. If it's a real issue.

  • How To Register Adobe As A Trusted Publisher to Microsoft Access 2007

    Hello:
    I am a Microsoft Access developer, and I recently wrote an application that opens PDF documents from within Microsoft Access.  The documents are opened using Adobe Reader.  Every time it opens a document, I receive a security warning.  I am using the Hyperlink Method from within VBA.  In the Microsoft Access 2007 Trust center, Adobe is not on the "Trusted Publisher" list.  Does anyone know how to make Adobe a trusted publisher?  From within Access, there does not seem to be a way to "Add Trusted Publisher".  It all has to do with Security Certificates.
    Thanks,
    Rich Locus

    Isn't it up to Microsoft to tell you how to make a program a trusted publisher for Access?

  • Accessing secured Access database

    I have been trying to connect to a Microsoft Access (Jet) database that has user-level security enabled. If I use the code below, I get a message saying "Not a valid account name or password". The username and password are the same as I successfully use through Access.
    Any ideas?
    try
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    String url =
    "jdbc:odbc:securitytest;SystemDB=c:\\testdir\\Secured.mdw;" +
    "User=myusername;Pwd=mypassword;";
    con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
    catch (ClassNotFoundException ex)
    catch (SQLException ex)

    Based on the last time I tried this...
    MS Access has two types of security
    -Set a database password
    -Set groups/users/passwords.
    The only thing that I could get to work was when using the database password. The other type of security would not work.
    This was a while ago. And the only way I know to track it down for certain is to investigate the ODBC calls and see how they work.

    hi all,
    it seems i have the same problem updating a field in access database here is what my access table has:

    i get the errors right at : rs.updateRow();
    i dont know what exactly the problem is. why doesnt it get updated and complain about it.
    plz help

    I'm not sure which JDBC driver you are using.
    An access database, by default, has a username and
    password as "admin" and "" (ie, empty password).
    Actually MS Access has two methods for security. You
    are referring to one of them.
    If the password of admin is changed, you have to
    provide the name of the workgroup information file
    also( where it is stored) for making a connection.
    I am not sure about the ODBC bridge driver. What iam
    using is Atinav's aveConnet JDBC driver. It has
    provision for giving username and passwords through
    Workgroup information file. In addition to it youcan
    give the database password also.
    Interesting to note. The bridge for MS Access does
    not use that security method. And it will fail if you
    set up security using the groups/users adminstration.
    The only method it allows is via the "database
    password" method.Thank you for your response, but what User ID should I use when I use database password?
    openConnection(URL,"xxxx","database password")
    thanks again

  • How Microsoft access could possibly an SAP CRM table

    ould anyone know if it is possible for a Microsoft access system to read an SAP table. If so, how? I have to implement an interface btw MS Access and SAP CRM and I am trying to see how to get it to work.

    Dear Abdul!
    There are probably many ways to achieve what you´re looking for. It heavily depends on several factors, which solution turns out to be the best for you. You should take into account security, data integrity and sensitivty, business context and system architecture, among others.
    First of all though, you should specify wheter you want to access the SAP table for unidirectional read access only, or if you have the requirement to also update data in any SAP table (are you talking about a SAP standard table or a customer Z-table?)
    If you´re looking for a straight forward solution for read-only access, you can create a custom Z* RFC-enabled function module that reads out your SAP table and returns the values to your calling application. You could also use the WebServices interfaces of your SAP WebApplicationServer, depending on your release level. Furthermore, kindly check, if there are standard BAPI´s available that contain the data you need in their return parameters.
    Of course, you also could directly interface on a DBMS level between MS access and your underlying SAP DB, but most likely such a solution will never be supported in any productive environment, and for good reason. So you should look into one of the other options mentioned.
    I´ll gladly provide more detail about any of the mentioned approaches, but would like to have a little more input about your requirements before, so the optimal solutions can be found.
    Kind regards

  • Can't view Microsoft Access data

    Hello,
    I am trying to use a Microsoft Access database (97) as a data source for my repository. I can import it in the Administration Tool and see all the tables. When I finish my repository the global consistency is without errors.
    Then I go to the Answers and make a table, here I see the repository but when I try to view the results it returns only values from the other data source.
    I am using OBIEE 10.1.3.3.2
    Anyone got a suggestion?
    Rgds,
    Dennis de Kock

    I cannot see data at column level either.
    Perhaps there still is a (logical) problem in your logical model.
    I suggest to quickly create a new business model, just for testing. Drag and drop 1 table from your access source twice to the business model. Create a complex join between table and table#. Put an aggregate on one number field in table#. Drag/drop business model to presentation layer.
    Have a look if you now have data from this table in Answers.

  • I just upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and since the "lock" icon never appears when accessing secure websites, where should I look for it?

  • How do I open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012

    Currently I am unable to find a valid method of being able to open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012. I've tried displaying the entire database on a form, but when I do this all the other columns show up with
    the correct data besides the one containing the pdf's, it just displays <binary data> in each row down the column. I also tried another method with which you use the database as a dataset and can drag and drop the rows and columns into the form, which
    again works for all the other columns besides the one containing the pdf's but this time I'm unable to interact with the column  at all. 
    Not too sure if this is in the correct place, but any answers or help would be appreciated. Cheers.
