Proxy account for sql sever account

  • Is it possible to create proxy account for sql server login/account or it could be only created for windows login/account

  • Are you talking about application access to a database, an agent job, or ??? We generally create windows service accounts for both unless an application vendor has a specific need.

    Give us some details, you'll likely get a better answer.

    actually at client side they are going to use third party software for aduit purpose.that 3 part has provided us with document according to which i have to carry down following steps

    To collect events using a non-administrative SQL Server 2005/2008 database account:

    1 Create a new database user account called sqlaudit.

    2 Set the default database of this user to master (from the User Mapping tab, check the box in the Map column for the master database).

    3 Grant this user (sqlaudit) Connect, Execute, and Select permissions.

    4 Enable the proxy account to the same user (sqlaudit). (SQL Server -> Properties -> Security ->enable proxy account)

    5 Go to SQL Server -> Properties -> Permissions and grant the user permission to Alter trace

    can you plz guide on steps 3 and step 4

    reagrds

    Anoop

  • Generally to get a third party app to work you need to follow their directions. It sounds like they want access to the Master database....? I would ask them why. If you google 'setting up sql server accounts and permissions' you will find lots of information on creating accounts.
