Question

"Login failed for user" in SQL / ASP website

Asked by: hanskoens

Since Windows 2003 64-bit server doesnt support ODBC drivers for ASP/access I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

After I imported the original access database into SQL, I changed the connectionstring into my webside to:

<%
set myConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
myConn.open "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;DATA SOURCE=IP,1433;database=blabla;uid=administrator;pwdpassword"
%>

I also made a System DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator called "blabla", a "test Data Source" rsults in a "Test Completed Succesfully"

Trying to access the webpage results in this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e4d'
Login failed for user 'administrator'.
/blablashop/house/connBlablashop.asp, line 3

I changed the authentication mode to the mixed mode "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode"

I like to connect the webpage to the SQL server w or w/o password, how can I grand the anonymous user to access the ASP/SQL webpage? Or how do I correctly setup the connection string with password oncluded? Please help me Iam stuck...

Your password parameter seems to have no equals sign in the example above, could this be your problem?

Here's one of mine that works fine:

set RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
dbCon = "Driver={SQL Server};" & _
  "Server=" & theDBConnectionServer & ";" & _
  "Database=" & theSiteDatabaseName & ";" & _
  "Uid=" & theDatabaseUsername & ";" & _
  "Pwd=" & theDatabasePassword
RS.ActiveConnection = dbCon

------

Set RS = nothing

Typo ?
myConn.open "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;DATA SOURCE=IP,1433;database=blabla;uid=administrator;pwd=password"

the equal sign betwee pwd and password is missing !

Hope this helps ...

From www.connectionstrings.com:
Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;

Provider is different than yours ...

Hope this helps ...

Your connection string file should look as above.

there were some errors...

connection string changed into:
Provider=SQLNCLI;Password=password;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=username;Initial Catalog=blabla;Server=servername"

then, in your query, you use tablename!column name, which is wrong. it has to be tablename.columnname


next, if you have a field = string value, you already to apply the duplication of the quotes to prevent sql injection, but you forgot to add the quotes around the string value: field = 'string value' ...


now, the home page seems to be running
please adjust the other .asp files accordingly

note: while I was on the machine, I set the max parallelism from 0 to 1, which should avoid that you get any queries run on multiple cpu which, in most cases, make the queries much slower.
this is NOT make sql server run on 1 cpu, but only for each query, only 1 cpu will be used.
if you want to reverse that, you should increase the cost threshold from 5 to 50 or even higher instead, to avoid that small queries get considered to be running on multiple cpu.
