Hello friends, I want to create a SQL db user to be dedicatedly used by application only. I am providing script to dba to execute this:
CREATE LOGIN appuser WITH PASSWORD = 'appuser' MUST_CHANGED, DEFAULT_DATABASE = 'TestDB'
If i use must_change in my script, CHECK_EXPIRATION must be set to ON ? Since I'm creating it for application, how can I avoid it .

Hi sqlnaive
You cannot use the MUST_CHANGE option without also using CHECK_EXPIRATION=ON.
Furthermore, for clarification; CHECK_EXPIRATION=ON means that the password, not the login, will expire and has to be changed regularly.
Since the login is to be used by an application, I would suggest you simply leave out MUST_CHANGE (if it's OK not to use CHECK_EXPIRATION=ON in your company). Our auditing doesn't allow the CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF.
Kind regards

We give our scripts to system DBAs to run. So we don't want them to know what our password is, thats why must_change option. Once we changed the password, can we put the check_expiration off again ?

Hi again
Okay, then you need to have the DBAs create the login like this:
CREATE LOGIN [yourlogin] WITH PASSWORD=N'somepassword' MUST_CHANGE, DEFAULT_DATABASE=[yourdb], CHECK_EXPIRATION=ON
Then proceed to login and change the password.
Finally have the DBAs run this:
ALTER LOGIN [yourlogin] WITH CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF
Kind regards

hi I tried set SA and PSW its working great to change the password. The password has changed but when I tried to login it is asking new psw and can't login. getting error 18464.
ALTER LOGIN [sa] WITH CHECK_EXPIRATION=ON
ALTER LOGIN [sa] WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master]
GO
USE [master]
GO
ALTER LOGIN [sa] WITH PASSWORD=N'NewPassword' MUST_CHANGE
GO

It seems an instance of SQL Server is already using the port. Each instance must have its own port.
Try changing the port of either the running or the new instance:
