login creating in sql 2005

  • Hi all,

    I am a newbie and have a issue,which obviously for you is trivial-for me it would be great if you could help me.

    I created a LOGIN in SQL 2005 which fails when logging in with:

    TITLE: Connect to Server

    ------------------------------

    Cannot connect to localhost.

    ------------------------------

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

    Login failed for user 'bkovac'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452

    ------------------------------

    1.I created a LOGIN login1,set SQL authentication with password,default db-master;

    2.created a new user for my database,set the database role to db_owner;

    3.finally done the user mapping for that LOGIN;

    4.I checked that the SQL server allows mixed authentication mode and restarted the server.

    Now can anyone give me a point where to start with?

    PS:I checked the error no. on the net,which was suggesting the authentication is set only to Windows mode.

    Please help me

    Many thanks

    Ben

  • This error occurs if you try to login thru a SQL server id which has its authntication mode set to windows. Are you sure the server runs in mixed mode. Thjis can be checked by viewing the properties of the server and looking in the security part. I hope so still he mode is windows and not mixed.

  • Hi Sugesh,

    Yes I know, that was my first thought,clicked on the SQL server->Properties->Security and changed to SQL and Windows Authentication mode.Then restarted SQL, tried to log on and failed withe the error mentioned from earlier.

  • What are you logging in from?  From your other recent posts here, I assume you are accessing SQL Server from Excel, then you must be using ADO or ODBC?  Then, check the connection settings is not set for IntegratedSecurity, and has the userid and pwd parameters you expect.

    Hope this helps

  • Hi Mark,

    This is not related to my previous posts, simply just created a LOGIN account for logging in to SQL Management Studio, also created a user and mapped it to a specific database as the database owner.

  • Can you post the properties of the login. Either from SSMS or from syslogins view.

  • Just give this user sysadmin permission and check if that succeeds. All parameters are right but looks weird.

  • Hi Sugesh,

    Added the user to the sysadmin role and it works now.

    So does this mean that without SysAdmin server role it won't work?Thanks

    Cheers

  • I tried to recreate this issue on one of my servers and did not have the issue. But I am also running SP2. I did find this pre-SP1 bug though:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925744/

    It seems to describe the issue you are having. Perhaps you're still on SP1 or less?

  • Rich,

    I am bouncing my head against the wall!

    Installed the SP2 and the problem is just...dissappeared!

    Rich, Sugesh and all of you guys thank you very much, very appreciate your time and help

    Ben
