Error: Cannot generate SSPI context

  • Hi All,

    Hope all is well. I am getting the below error when I am trying to connect to SQL Server through SSMS as windows authentication. But I am able to connect to the server if I use sql server authentication or use IP Address instead of server name with with windows authentication. I dont have anything in the SQL Server Error Log to investigate further. Any Ideas?

    Error:

    Cannot generate SSPI context. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 0)

    Thanks for your inputs

  • I have faced this problem before.I had application using sytem dsn and changed connection to a file dsn and the error no longer appeared.In some cases restarting could temporarily remove the error.
