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.

1st scenario
When in a runtime, it's keep appear a dialog box. This dialog box ask me to suppy Server, User ID, Password and Database. Once all information is supplied, my report display the data as expected
2nd scenario
I change my report using OLE DB (ADO) -> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server -> checked on Integrated Security. I just choose Server, and Database. I assume me using Windows Authentication
When in a runtime, there's no dialog box as above. My report display the data as expected. really cool
Look's like, when report using SQL Server Authentication there's some problem. but, when report using Windows Authentication, it's fine.
I'm looking for comment. Please help me

Hello,
MS SQL Server 2008 requires you to install the MS Client Tools for 2008.
Once install then update all of your reports to use the SQL Native 10 as the OLE DB driver.
The try again, if it still fails search, lots of sample log on code in this forum.

Using SQL Server credentials with Secure Store Target Application for Data Connection in Dashboard Designer

[Using SharePoint 2013 Enterprise SP1]
I would like to use SQL Server credentials in a Secure Store Target Application, and
this page makes it look like it's possible but when I attempt to use the new Target Application ID as authentication for a Data Connection in Dashboard Designer, I get a generic "Unable to access data source" with no error logged in SQL Server
logs.
I am able to use a Target Application with AD credentials to access the SQL db without a problem. Suggestions?

Hi,
1. Make sure that the credential is set to
Secure Store Target Application. Navigate to the Central Administration. Click on the
Application Management. Click on the Manage Service Applications. Click on the
Secure Store Service Application. Select the application ID and from the ECB menu click on the
Set Credentials. Enter the Credential Owner, Windows User Name and the
Windows Password.
2. Make sure that in the Dashboard Designer “Use a stored account” is selected in the “Authentication” and the proper application ID is mentioned.
Please refer to the link below for more information:

Using SQL Server 2012 Express with Bitocker

Hello,
I'm currently working on getting our SQL Server Express database working with BitLocker but I am coming across a few problems. Here is my scenario:
The OS is partitioned into two volumes (C and D).
The C volume contains the OS and Software, while the D volume is primarily used for the database files (logs, back, and mdf).
The D volume is encrypted using BitLocker
The database connects using the SA account (SQL Server Authentication)
From what I understand, BitLocker must be enabled with the same account that the SQL Server is running on. So what I have done is change the SQL Server service account to the user account (lets say its called User) via SQL Configuration Manager. While staying
logged into User account, I then enable BitLocker via Control Panel -> System and Security -> BitLocker Drive Encryption. I then reboot and then while the software is trying to connect to the database I get the following exception:
'login failed for user sa'.
Is there anything I need to do to get this working? Thanks for the help.

Hi moncadad,
When you turn off BitLocker, does the database also show “Recovery Pending”? If so, the simplest cause for “Recovery Pending” might be that a disk spin-up was slow, or a disk became full. Please read this
blog to fix the issue, then check if you can successfully connect to the database after you turn on BitLocker.
However, if you are not able to view the database contents only after you turn on BitLocker, I suspect that there are some issues about configuring BitLocker. As far as I know, Bitlocker must be performed by a member of Local Admins Group, please make sure
that your account is a member of Local Admins Group on your computer.
Also I would like to recommend you post the question in the
Microsoft Bitlocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) forum to get better support. For more details about configuring SQL Server with Bitlocker, please review the following similar articles.

How to Create a SQL Agent Job For A SSIS Package with Sql Server Authentication

Hi ALl,
I have a SSIS package which basically has a data flow task in which i pull the data from one server and copy it into another server and my source server is the one where i dont have windows authentication and i have to only use a sql server authentication
. This package runs fine if i click the server connection properties type the password and save it.
Now, my task is to set up a sql agent job which basically uses a proxy account and takes this package from the file system and runs it.But when i try to run this package, its failing with an error saying
"Login Failed For rpt5user" where rpt5user is the username for my sql server authentication of the source connection.
Can someone please help me with any suggestions on how to do this?
I have heard that we can achieve it by using xml config file which i have never used and i am trying to google around but for no luck.
So, If someone can please throw any suggestions or ideas on this it would be great.
Thanks

You need to add password as a config item and set it from the file source or sql table
see this as an example

Trying to configure a Win 2003 Server to use TLS server authentication . . .

I am trying to
configure a Win 2003 Server to use TLS server authentication following Method 2 in KB 895443 - see below:-
Method 2: By using the Certificate Request Wizard
The following steps describe how to obtain a certificate from a Windows Server 2003 Certification Authority. You can also request a certificate from a Windows 2000
Certification Authority. Additionally, you must have Read permissions and Enroll permissions on the certificate template file to successfully request a certificate. Use this method if one or more of the following conditions are true:
You want to request a certificate from an Enterprise Certification Authority.
You want to request a certificate that is based on a template where the subject name is generated by Windows.
You want to obtain a certificate that does not require administrator approval before the certificate is issued.
To obtain a certificate, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type mmc, and then click OK.
On the File menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in.
Click Add, click Certificates, and then click Add.
Click Computer account, and then click Next.
If you want to add a certificate to the local computer, click Local computer. If you want to add a certificate to a remote computer, click Another
computer, and then type the name of that remote computer in the Another computer box.
Click Finish.
In the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog box, click Close, and then click OK in the Add/Remove
Snap-in dialog box.
Under Console Root, click Certificates (Local Computer).
Note If you configured the Certificates MMC snap-in to manage a remote computer, click Certificates (servername)instead of Certificates (Local Computer).
On the View menu, click Options.
In the View Options dialog box, click Certificate purpose, and then click OK.
In the right pane, right-click Server Authentication, point to All Tasks, and then click Request New Certificate.
In the Certificate Request Wizard that starts, click Next.
In the Certificate types list, click Server Authentication, click to select the Advanced check box,
and then click Next.
In the Cryptographic Service Providers list, click Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider.
I get as far as step 11 and I get the error message:-
The wizard cannot be started because of one or more of the following conditions:
- There are no trusted certification authorities (CAs) available.
- You do not have the permissions to request certificates from the available CAs.
- The available CAs issue certificates for which you do not have permissions.
This is covered in KB 927066 – see below:-
To resolve the problem, follow these steps:
Verify that the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group exists in the domain that hosts the certification authority. This group is in the CN=Users container.
To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run,
type Dsa.msc, and then click OK.
In the left pane, click the Users container.
Verify that the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group is in the right
pane. If the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group is not in the right pane, go to step 4.
Verify that the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group includes the following member groups:
Domain Users
Domain Computers
If these member groups do not exist in the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group, go to step 4.
Note If users or computers in other domains need to enroll against the certification authority, you must also add those users and computers to the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group. If the current problem occurs on a domain
controller, you must also add the Enterprise Domain Controllers group to the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group. By default, domain controllers are not members of the Domain Computers global group. Therefore, domain controllers
do not have sufficient DCOM permissions.
Verify that the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group has the appropriate DCOM Access permissions and DCOM Launch and Activation permissions on the computer that hosts the certification
authority.
Click Start, point to Program,
point to Administrative Tools, and then click Component Services.
Expand the Component Services node.
Expand the Computers node.
Right-click the My Computer node, and
then click Properties.
Click the COM Security tab.
Under Access Permission, click Edit
Limits.
Verify that the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group has Allow Local Access and Allow
Remote Access permissions, and then click Cancel.
Under Launch and Activation Permissions, click Edit
Limits.
Verify that the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group has Allow Local Activation and Allow
Remote Activationpermissions, and then click Cancel.
Click Cancel, and then close the Component
Services console.
Settings may be incorrect if any one of the following conditions is true:
The CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group does not exist.
The default membership of the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group is incorrect.
The CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group does not have the correct permissions.
If any one setting is incorrect, run the following commands at a command prompt. Press ENTER after each command.
certutil -setreg SetupStatus -SETUP_DCOM_SECURITY_UPDATED_FLAG
net stop certsvc
net start certsvc
Repeat steps 1 through 3 to verify that all the settings are correct.
Note If the changes affect the group membership of the certification authority server, you must restart the server for the changes to take effect.
The only part of the above instructions which I have not been able to complete is:-
“you must also add the Enterprise Domain Controllers group to the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS group”.
When I click on the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS user then click the Members tab & go to add Enterprise Domain Controllers the option is not there.

Hi Nick,
Have you successfully set up an enterprise CA?
If yes, is the enterprise CA’s certificate located under the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store?
Best Regards,
Amy

Improve the performance in stored procedure using sql server 2008 - esp where clause in very big table - Urgent

Hi,
I am looking for inputs in tuning stored procedure using sql server 2008. l am new to performance tuning in sql,plsql and oracle. currently facing issue in stored procedure - need to increase the performance by code optmization/filtering the records using where clause in larger table., the requirement is Stored procedure generate Audit Report which is accessed by approx. 10 Admin Users typically 2-3 times a day by each Admin users.
It has got CTE ( common table expression ) which is referred 2 time within SP. This CTE is very big and fetches records from several tables without where clause. This causes several records to be fetched from DB and then needed processing. This stored procedure is running in pre prod server which has 6gb of memory and built on virtual server and the same proc ran good in prod server which has 64gb of ram with physical server (40sec). and the execution time in pre prod is 1min 9seconds which needs to be reduced upto 10secs or so will be the solution. and also the exec time differs from time to time. sometimes it is 50sec and sometimes 1min 9seconds..
Pl provide what is the best option/practise to use where clause to filter the records and tool to be used to tune the procedure like execution plan, sql profiler?? I am using toad for sqlserver 5.7. Here I see execution plan tab available while running the SP. but when i run it throws an error. Pl help and provide inputs.
Thanks,
Viji

You've asked a SQL Server question in an Oracle forum. I'm expecting that this will get locked momentarily when a moderator drops by.
Microsoft has its own forums for SQL Server, you'll have more luck over there. When you do go there, however, you'll almost certainly get more help if you can pare down the problem (or at least better explain what your code is doing). Very few people want to read hundreds of lines of code, guess what's it's supposed to do, guess what is slow, and then guess at how to improve things. Posting query plans, the results of profiling, cutting out any code that is unnecessary to the performance problem, etc. will get you much better answers.

How to send PLAIN text email from sp_send_dbmail using SQL Server 2008 R2?

I have configured Database Mail in SQL Server 2008 R2 (64) and it sends emails just fine. However the destination is recieving the body of thes message as Base 64 encoding.
Snippet:
EXEC msdb..sp_send_dbmail @profile_name='Outmail', @recipients = @recpts, @subject = @subj, @body_format = 'TEXT', @body=@body2;
As you can see I set @body_format to TEXT, but it still sends Base 64. I need to send plain ASCII text. How can I change this?

I am having this exact issue too. I have a trigger that sends an email using a stored procedure. The dbmail is sending the email using the Exchange 2010 server SMTP. It does not login so the email is relayed as user = "Anonymous".
The SQL dbmail email header is showing the following:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
MIME-Version: 1.0
X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthSource: MX01.domain.local
X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthAs: Anonymous
Here is the header if I send via Outlook profile using the legacy program I am trying to automate using SQL Server 2008R2:
Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; name="winmail.dat"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
MIME-Version: 1.0
X-MS-Has-Attach:
X-MS-Exchange-Organization-SCL: -1
X-MS-TNEF-Correlator: <[email protected]>

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Does SAP use SQL server's snapshot and transactional replication?

Gurus:
Could you help with this?
Does SAP use SQL server's snapshot and transactional replication?
Thanks!

Hi Christy,
no, SAP does not directly leverage these functions.
But none the less, it is up to you to use these on your system. I regulary use the snapshot functionality when applying Support Packages. In case somehing goes wrong a snapshot is the easiest way to roll back the import process (not exactly the best choice when talking about production and users keep on working while importing).
Have a look at this [document |http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/9/4/d948f981-926e-40fa-a026-5bfcf076d9b9/SAP_SQL2005_Best Practices.doc]. It deals with Best Practices and also covers snapshot, replication and mirroring.

Neet to locate the shared services native users in SQL server tables

Hi All,
We are using Hyperion Shared services to provision users to essbase, planning and HFM(all version 9.3.1). And we are using SQL server 2000 as the database. We created few native users in shared services and provisioned them to HFM, Essbase and Planning. Now we need to find those native users' information in the underlying SQL tables. I followed the documentation and sync-ed the native to relational tables using shared services, but I cannot see the user info for all the users I have created. I would appreciate if you can suggest me how to find the shared services users' and roles information in SQL tables (in the back end).
Legards,

Hi,
There are a number of free Ldap browsers that you can download, e.g.
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/demo.html

Once you have installed then ldap browser you just need to point it to your Openldap
Host :- machine with OpenLdap running
Port :- 58089
Base :- dc=css,dc=hyperion,dc=com
User DN :- CN=root,dc=css,dc=hyperion,dc=com
And just the root password which you can change in HSS in 9.3

Any comments on speed and robustness of RH Server running on Windows 7 and using SQL Server Express?

Hi. Can anyone comment on their experience using RH Server on Windows 7 and using SQL Server Express? That is, is it stable and fast enough for delivering Web Help Pro documentation to support occasional viewer browses. (We would have approx 250 customers who would occasionally access the HTML docs that support our software.)
Our company is not keen on spending $s on Windows Server and an MS or Oracle database.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kurt. You should have no problems with that configuration and user numbers. See Recommended OS/database combinations for RoboHelp Server « Technical Communication Suite

Cannot set Start Mode using SQL Server Configuration Manager

I have SQL Server 2012 Express installed on Windows 8.1 and am trying to change the Start Mode to Manual using SQL Server Configuration Manager. However, when I open the Properties dialog and use the drop-down for Start Mode on the Service tab the drop-down
is inoperative. A "vertical bar" appears but no options.
Is there some other way that I can change the Start Mode?

I have seen that on my laptop as well and it was due to display /resolution setting. Please see if that helps you. BTW, as already answered, services.msc is another way of changing it.

Using SQL Server instead of Essbase

<p>Does anyone else use SQL server with HFM? I know Essbaseis the standard but the company I currently work for uses SQLserver and there is little information for users who are not usingEssbase. I know we are not the only ones and I'd like todiscuss things that only seem to apply to nonEssbase users.</p>

Hi TC,
I circled back with the team. The only set of drivers that we currently support for Microsoft SQL Server are the DataDirect drivers. You should be able to download evaluation versions from their web site and their configuration doc do a good job of describing the configuration string you will need to use to set up the data source.
Let us know if it does not work as advertized.
I hope this helps.
