Please help me resolve this issue.
According to the error that you have received, please check whether the federated-on premises domain is configured for SSO for pass through authentication and password hash authentication. Also, check whether latest version of SQL Server Management Studio or SQL Server Data Tools is installed or not on the VM through which you are trying to connect to the database.
Next, confirm whether the application for which you are connecting to the database has service principal API permissions set or not. ‘Directory.Read.All’ application API permissions need to be added for the application with the assigned Azure AD Admin set as the consent. The Service principal for ‘SQL Managed Instance Contributor’ role should be set for the Azure AD Admin credentials.
For Azure Active Directory – Integrated authentication method, before connecting to the database, make sure you are entering the database name in the ‘Options’ section (bottom right corner) in the SSMS database connection dialog box. Also, check the connection string for parameters like ‘Active Directory Integrated’ and ‘Integrated Security=True’ for successful connection.

SQL pre login handshake error

I have window service installed on my server.
Sometimes it gets me error in SQL login.
after 10-15 minutes it again start working fine.
During the error period i tried to login through SQL server management, from there also it's giving me loging issue.
I checked with all the solution on this site also on other site.I tried for -SQL protocol enabling and setting "TrustServerCertificate=True;" in connection string.
What can be the cause ??
The error i got is -

SqlDependency.Start method fails after deployment

After implementing caching for my ASP MVC 5 app, and using SqlDependency and service broker, everything works fine on the local database. I get notifications when a specific change occurs in the database.
However, after deploying the application to production machine, call to SqlDependency.Start(string connectionString) fails by throwing an exception:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'sa'.
with the following stack trace (system calls included, calls within my app code - excluded):

Since the local and production database are kept in sync (and one was initially restored from the other one) DB settings are the same - I checked this to be sure, though.
I'm quite certain that service broker is enabled for the production DB.
What kind of IIS configuration should I consider important, which may cause this difference? I'm using Sql Server Express at the moment. Also, I don't use SqlCacheDependency but only SqlDependency.
This isn't a Service broker issue.
The error is: Login failed for user 'sa'
Check your connection credentials. Does your app allow the credentials to be modified at run-time? I'd recommend you do allow flexible configuration at deployment.
Even if you checked, can you guarantee that the deployment SQL server instance has the same SQL credentials, this may be the case even if you restored your development database.

Azure and SQL Server: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server

Using Azure with SQL Server. In 30% of the cases where the SimpleRoleProvider is implicitly called we get an error: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server. The error occurs frequently but is not reproducible. It looks like a timeout..

We don't have this problem on our own server. Is this a configuration issue? We are using the free trail version of Azure yet.
--- ADDITION ---
The bad thing is that the MVC-framework "handles" the request, in the example given (Role
Management). The use of the framework is to add an abstraction layer to handle "domain request" conveniently. So what to do in this case?
Thanks in advance for any help!
I assume by Azure and SQL Server you mean the SAAS Azure SQL Database (the names change faster than I can keep track), not the IAAS SQL Server on Windows Azure. First thing ou need to determine wether your application is being throttled, see Connection Constraints and give this article a good, thorrough read: Causes of Connection Termination. If your application is being throttled then you need to revisit your design and address the specific reason why you're being throttled.
It's expected on SQL Azure. It should happen on about 0.5% of the time, not 30%.
Here's a previous question that addressed this topic
Connection failures in SQL Azure are common. This is because your
application will create a connection pool but while your side thinks
these connections are over, Azure could terminate them at their end
and you will never know about it.
You should implement a retry logic on your code in case one of these timeouts occur. Microsoft already has a library for this: the Transient Fault Handling Application Block
