Restrict access of DB for one particular Host/IP address in database level

  • dear all

    How to Restrict access of Database for one particular Host/IP address in database level? There is some problem doing it through Router/Switch. I am using SQL Server 2000 and Server is within a domain. Pls respond if anybody can help........

    Thanks,

  • There is no way I am aware of within SQL Server to restrict access to SQL Server based on IP or host name. I suppose in SQL Server 2005 you might be able to do it with a LOGON trigger, but that is not an option in SQL Server 2000. Normally to do this you use a router/firewall.

  • If it is possible through port number...........

  • Yes there is a way. You need something like a sql server firewall or proxy that will give you this kind of control. There is a version available for free on the pynlogic site. You can limit by IP, MAC, user id/group (database or Active Directory) and time. Works for SQL Server 2000 and 2005. These products work as inline solutions, so the applications need to connect to the proxy instead of the firewall directly.

    Hope this helps.
