Windows authentication on a database on Linux

Hi,
i've a 11.2 database installed on linux.
I need that a client on windows can connect on this database without using pwd.
Can external auth works in this case or need I to map this user on the linux server?
Thank you.

The remote OS authentication is not safe at all.
If I have access to your network, I will be able to connect ( or try ) with a user that you created as externally within the database ( usually ORACLE os user - OPS$ORACLE - depending on the os_authent_prefix value)
However, what you can use is an external password store.
You have an example step by step over here: Configuring Authentication

Windows authentication for Oracle Databases

Steps Followed For OS Authentication.
OS : Windows 2000 Server with latest Service Pack 4
Database: Oracle 9i.
Objective: We are having a server in which Oracle 9i database is residing.We want to create
a user that will be autheticated by Windows 2000 OS and not by Database.
The server itself is used both as a server and a client.
1. The init<sid>.ora file was modified and the parameter OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX="" was added.
2. The Oracle Instance was started using Init<sid>.ora file and not SP file.
3. An operating system account was created say Test.
4. Two groups OSDBA,OSOPER were created and Test user was made member of Administrator,Osdba,Osoper.
5. Connected to the SQL PLUS as SYS then issued the commands
Create user Test identified externally;
Grant connect,resource,create session to Test;
6.Logged off from the machine and logged into the same machine with user Test and with its
corresponding password.
7.From command prompt we tried sqlplus CONNECT / .
Ideally it should connect as the user Test but it is not connecting.
NB All the above operation was carried out in the same machine on which the database is
residing.

%ORACLE_HOME%\DATABASE\SPFILE%
Given this command also..SQL>create pfile from spfile;
>>
you can see the initSID.ora in the directory where
your spfile iswhere to see that?see in %ORACLE_HOME/database/initsid.ora
edit the initSID.ora add the line
What to edit?its a text file ,open in notepad add the line
OS_RULES=TRUE
then save the file
start the system by
startup pfile='c'it can be any path or any specific path.no it is the one from
startup pfile='c:%ORACLE_HOME\database\initsid.ora
Hope this will help
You need a pfile to chnage the server settings
Or else
issue
SQL>alter system set Os_rules=true scope=spfile;

How to Configure SQLServer2008R2 to let Windows Authenticated Users Create Database with MCV4 Code First App

Trying to Learn MVC code first with Vs2013 web express on windows 7 os computer. When code runs to create database get: An exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in EntityFramework.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.
Have this problem with the 'OdeToFood' plurasight course as well with the
'developing ASP.NET MvC 4 Web Applications Jump Start' MVA course.
Re-installed sql2008r2 using window
admin user and ran the project and get same message as when i run the project with the none admin user.
What are steps to allow database creation for admin user and none windows admin user?
Daniel Howard

David, thanks for the reply.
I believe the problem may be something else because after adding the
user to 'sysadmin' and I still get the message
Additional information: CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.
Perhaps I need to go to ASP.NET forum to ask the question.
I will mark you answer as answer.
Thanks again

Connecting to MSSQL Windows authentication from Linux

Hi,
From linux (OIM) environment we need to connect to window authenticated MSSQL server.In windows we set sql.dll file.How to do in linux?
Thanks!

There is a database library that can provide you with the additional options. It's here http://jtds.sourceforge.net/
With it, you can provide domain authentication credentials.

How to use windows authentication to MSSQL2008 from oim running in Linux

Hi All,
We have developed the code (in eclipse) in local windows machine to call sample stored procedures in MSSQL.The code works fine from client and are able to create, update users in MSSQL from windows.
We have OIM 11g R2 installed in Linux 6 on local VM. The question is while building the jar from the code and placing it in Java task directory of OIM, calling thr Code we need sql.dll file to implement the windows authentication(no user name & pwd) to connect to MSSQL, but this is not possible in Linux since the jar don't support.
Can any one please give suggestions on this to implement windows authentication from Linux through OIM server.

Database access using windows authentication

We are updating our Applications to use single sign on and are running into a problem with database access. We are using CF11 Enterprise and SQL Server 2008 on IIS 7.5.
We have set up the ColdFusion Application Service to run under an AD service account and have created the data sources in CFAdmin leaving the username and password blank. The data sources verify and all seems good. The problem comes when running a query. The credential passed to the database is the service account and not the windows authenticated user. As such the query fails. What are we missing to get CF to pass the Windows Authenticated user credential instead of the service account?
Thanks
Tim

ColdFusion does not pass user's credentials to the database connections by default, and cannot pass Windows Authentication credentials that way. It only sends the service account's credentials (if you leave username/password blank as you have done). The only way to pass user credentials is to put them into the individual query calls themselves, and even then you can't pass Windows Authentication credentials. You would have to use SQL Server Logins, and create accounts for each user.
I think most people are using either a dedicated SQL Server login for ColdFusion and run all queries under that account, or they do as you have already done and use Windows Authentication along with the ColdFusion service account. If you need an audit trail, then pass usernames into the insert/update queries and store them manually along with the other data you are inserting/updating.

SQL Developer: Windows Authentication on Linux

Hello.
I have trouble getting SQL Developer to authenticate using "windows authentication" and a MS SQL server 2005. I'm on a Linux OS. Authenticating "normally" is no problem, however only windows authentication will be allowed in near future. Does anyone have success using this option? It simply gives me an error that it is unable to login.
Hope anyone can be of help. Thanks in advance.
Stefan

Just wondering why the option would be there in the linux version (which is different in other areas than the windows one).
Is it not possible using Kerberos perhaps?

How to resolve a windows authenticated orphaned user in Sql Server 2008 R2?

Hi,
We have some orphaned windows authenticated users(domain) in the database while it had been
migrated from Sql Server 2005 to Sql Server 2008 R2, because there are no corresponding
logins for the users. Will just adding the logins would be sufficient or after adding the
logins should we also run sp_change_users_login @Action='update_one' to resolve any sid
conflict. Thanking you in advance,
With regards
Binny Mathew

Binny
You have issue with orphaned users if you use Mixed Authentication. If you use Windows and move the db to the new server the Windows Login should be exist on the new server already.

SP2013 SSRS 2012 repor service add-in always uses NT authority\anonymous instead of windows authentication

We are building a SP2013 farm with SQL2012 and the SSRS 2012 add in , looking at the rsreportserver.config we have added the parameter RSWindowsNegotiate as listed below.
<Authentication>
    <AuthenticationTypes>
      <RSWindowsNegotiate/>
< /AuthenticationTypes>
We have followed this article (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281253.aspx) where the following is listed:
ASP.NET must be configured for Windows Authentication. By default, the Web.config files for the Report Server Web service and Report Manager include the <authentication mode="Windows"> .
However looking at the web.config of the report server the following parameters * (see below)are present but
not the authentication mode='windows', only <windowsAuthentication enabled="true" /> is listed.
* <security>
      <authentication>
        <anonymousAuthentication enabled="false" />
        <windowsAuthentication enabled="true" />
      </authentication>
    </security>
The report server is operational as long as we use datasources located on the same farm but as soon as try to utilize a datasource outside the farm the report server uses anonymous to access the datasource. We have configure the c2wt services and have
the proper spn's in place on the domain , so we should not be suffering from the double hop issue.
How do we configure the reportserver to accept windows authentication?
Any help is welcome.
Regards,
Jim

R0ber7o,
Thanks for your reply, The web application is configured to use Kerberos and the spn has been created for the web application account.Yes I do receive a Kerberos ticket when I access the web application:
Client: myuser @ DOMAIN.COM
Server: HTTP/webapp @ DOMAIN.COM
KerbTicket Encryption Type: RSADSI RC4-HMAC(NT)
Ticket Flags 0x40a40000 -> forwardable renewable pre_authent ok_as_delegate
Start Time: 1/3/2014 13:08:26 (local)

Renew Time: 1/13/2014 13:03:42 (local)
Session Key Type: RSADSI RC4-HMAC(N
What we do not understand is why the reporting service application will only work when it uses :
identity impersonate="false" & anonymousAuthentication enabled="true"
when we change the identity impersonation to true we cannot access the reporting services system settings in the CA anymore and receive an error message:
"The report server cannot decrypt the symmetric key that is used to access sensitive or encrypted data in a report server database"

Data Modeler 2.0.0 Windows Authentication to SQL Server

Is there a way to sign onto a SQL Server database with Data Modeler similar to SQL Developer using Windows Authentication? I have loaded the correct JDBC drivers.

It wasn't possible for me (Win XP) but you can try using following steps:
1) get JDBC driver from Microsoft site - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/data/aa937724.aspx - you can use 1.2 or 2.0
2) copy sqljdbc_auth.dll to windows\system32 directory as described here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378428.aspx
3) add JDBC driver as third party driver in General options (Data Modeler)
4) add ;integratedSecurity=true to port information (or database) - my port looks "1779;integratedSecurity=true"
It doesn't work due strange incompatibility between the way we use connections and JDBC driver implementation related to usage of sqljdbc_auth.dll - may be it will work for you :). We have it fixed and fix will be included in next patch release.

"Windows Authentication Mode" when SQL Server 200 and CF on different machines?

Hi All,
I am playing for two days with following problem. And still I
did not able to get rid of it.
I have installed SQL Server 2000 on machine which is my
server (windows 2003 server) and this machine is my domain
controller. I have user “ABC” user and I have added
this user in administrator group.
I have another machine where OS is Windows XP and CF 7 is
installed. I create an ODBC Connection from Administrative Tool to
my Database (windows 2003 server) successfully.
Now when I create Data Socket in Coldfusion Administrator and
when I select the my ODBC that I had created and when I Submit it
then CF admin throughs the following message.
Connection verification failed for data source: myTest
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC
Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL
Server]Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
Please Brother, I don’t have any Clue to solve it,
Please help.
One Important thing, All this working fine if my CF, and SQL
Server are on same machine.
Best regards,
Shahid

Hi Phil Thanks,
Finally i able to configure it out..... following are the
steps...
I assume domain controller is properly configure.
Following are the steps for the machine where SQL SERVER 2000
is installed
1- We need to create Login account for your domain account in
SQL Server 2000 using Enterprise Manager.
• Right Click -> New Login
• Click to load the domain users, select any user from
your domain that will connect to your SQL Server from LAN.
Following are the steps for the machine where ColdFusion and
IIS are installed.
Step No. 1
Stop ColdFusion MX.
Backup your existing macromedia_drivers.jar file.
Unzip macromedia_drivers.zip into the same directory,
overwriting the previous
macromedia_drivers.jar.
You can download “macromedia_drivers.zip” from
following URL
http://kb.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/1a3c2ad0/macromedia_drivers.zip
A new file, DDJDBCAuth03.dll, which is required for Windows
Authentication, is also included in the zip file replacing the
older DDJDBCAuth.DLL.
Restart ColdFusion MX.
ColdFusion MX loads the JDBC drivers inmacromedia_drivers.jar
in the directory cf_root/lib. For example, with ColdFusion MX 7
Server Configuration on Windows installed on drive C:, this would
beC:\CFusionMX7\lib\macromedia_drivers.jar.
Then restart Machine
Step No. 2
Configure all the ColdFusion Services to “Log On
As” using the Domain User Account configured in SQL Server in
the above mentioned step.
Change the “Log On As” similar for the all other
Cold fusion services (ColdFusion MX 7 ODBC Agent, ColdFusion MX 7
ODBC Server, ColdFusion MX 7 Search Server).
Step No. 3
Restart the services; for the safe side reboot the system.
Step No. 4
Create ODBC (Control Panel -> Administrative Tool ->
Data Sources (ODBC)) using the windows NT Authentication option to
connect to database.
Step No. 5
Create Data Socket and Select the created ODBC connection in
the Drop down (ColdFusion-> Admin)

JDBC driver for SQL Server 2000 with windows authentication

Does anyone know of a JDBC driver for SQL Server 2000 that supports Windows Authentication, that is that a username and password does not need to be supplied when connecting to the database.

You can use the JDBC-ODBC-Bridge.
ODBC provides windows-authentication.
Hope it helps.

Solution to solve the actual issue :
For the SAP system to use standard default NT authentication
Please refer to this link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/9c/d736b880c34f76b507bac7751a0474/content.htm
1. Database login:
SQL Server login with System Administrator privileges, that is this login should be member of the sysadmin fixed server role on the target SQL Server. If such a login does not exist, you have to create it on the target SQL Server. The SAP multi-connect mechanism allows both integrated security logins and the use of SQL Server authentication. For security reasons, we highly recommend to use integrated security (Windows authentication). If you use Windows security, leave this field empty.
2.  Password / Re-enter password :
If you have decided to use integrated security, leave these fields empty. Otherwise enter the password of the SQL Server login.
The above pointer was used to solve the login issue but we still had issues in getting the schema visible in SAP BW. As the user ID was left blank we were not able to get the schema view for the <blank> user.
Note to be applied to solve the Schema issue :
note 1091929 :  Link
so now you can enter the schema to be used in DS creaton screen.
