IN SQL SERVER 2005 Password is Case Senstive

  • In SQL SERVER 2000 i am able to use ..but not in 2005

    If i have Password like 'JOHN'

    Is there a way to use the password ' john '

  • I dont believe you can have case insensitive passwords for SQL 2K5. If this is for an application with which you have control of the code then you should be able to always run a upper/lower case function call to always set, retrieve, send the password the same way.

  • Passwords are always Case-sensitive whether you talk abt SQL Server 2000 Or SQL Server 2005.

  • In SQL 2000 passwords were only case sensitive if the server's collation was case sensitive. This means that SQL installed with the default collation on a server with US English regional settings did indeed have case insensitive passwords.

    On SQL 2005, all passwords are case-sensitive always. There's no way to make them case insensitive.

  • And to further what Gail has stated - in SQL Server 2005, the passwords for SQL authenticated accounts will use the servers password policies by default. That is, if the server gets the password polices from the domain and it is required that your passwords are at least 8 characters, contain at least 1 number - then your password will have to adhere to the same policy.

    You can disable that for specific logins - but it is not recommended.

    And if the server is not part of a domain, the password policy defined in the local security policies is applied.

    Oops - yeah, that's what I meant to say. 🙂
