How can we pass encrypted password in SQL connection string on PowerShell?
Unable to connect SQL server with NT AUTHORITY\ SYSTEM account. What teps need to be taken to connect to SQL Server with NT Authority\System account?
As checked, I installed PSTools and extract all files in specific location and ran cmd.
With below cmd
psexec -i -s ssms.exe
After running the above cmd, I got :
couldn't install
Access denied
You dont say much about the client and what you are supposed to achieve. The part about psexec is quite hard for me to understand.
You can use credentials in two ways from local network, sql login and windows login. I assume you are attemting to use windows login.
If you, from a windows computer, run a console app or desktop app, you will connect as the user who started the app. In normal terms, you.
Since you get "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM", I guess you want to try as similar as possible like a Windows Service. My recommendation is to start the service as a named user "AD\MyServiceAccount". You give access to this user in SQL server.
I recommend you to read about the differences of:
NT AUTHORITY\System
NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService
AD Account
If you are not trying to debug/build a service, but just want to get some sql server data in an desktop application. Use regular tools and your personal account. If not, sql login.
If you want to use the Computer Account, you should use add AD\$ComputerAccount to ACL list on SQLserver.
Note: AD being the name of your Active Directory.

The authentication mode is "Mixed" for my SQL Server 2016.
I'm using SSMS to run cross-server queries.
I've checked the user account & have ensured that the account has proper authority. I can use a different account and run cross-server queries as expected. The account has proper authority to the databases in question and it has authority to them. I've tried everything I've seen on the internet searches I've done and no luck. The account can login using SSMS.
My linked server properties are:
The account's login properties are:
Has anyone else seen this & have a resolution?
** EDIT: rebooting the target server fixed the issue
When creating a linked server you choose the authentication mechanism by which the remote connection will be made. If you select the fourth option (pictured), the remote login must be a Sql Server authenticated login. It cannot be a windows login.
The only way to connect through a linked server using windows authentication is to forward the credentials of the login on the local server. There is no option to specify a windows username and password.
Indeed, there is no way, ever, to specify a password when connecting to a Sql Server with windows credentials, since the whole point of windows credentials is that you're already authenticated. That happened when you logged in to windows in the morning*
You can only (and must always) specify a password if you are using Sql Server authentication.
What seems to be going on in your case is that the linked server may have been created with the wrong security options. This is just easier to explain with an image:
* More precisely, a connection will be made using the account that the client is running under. If you start SSMS using a "runas /user ..." command, then the windows credentials used to connect to servers will be the credentials specified in runas
I have successfully setup SQL on Linux and configured Windows Authentication. I am able to use my AD account when on the local box and using SQLCMD. However when I attempt to use SSMS from a bastion host, I get logon denied because of an untrusted domain. Even though the Linux server is joined to the same domain. I have not found any information so far so asking here.
I have a Microsoft Access Application which generates a connection string like:
Provider=SQLNCLI11;Server=servername;Database=db_name;Trusted_Connection=yes;
This works without any problem.
What I want to do is to connect to a SQL Server instance where the user must insert his Active Directory name and password.
Like this:
Provider=SQLNCLI11;Server=servername;Database=db_name;Uid=username;Pwd=password;
This only works for users which are created on the SQL Server directly.
I tried Uid=DOMAIN\username, but it isn't working.
Is this possible? Or is there another way how I can get through this?
The environment:
The User is using a local PC with a local account and then he's doing a "NetworkConnect" with his AD-User and password.
After that, "RunAs" as his AD-User is working BUT there is another Application that is started from the Access Application and this App must be started with the local User-Account.
SQL-Server and the AD-User are member of the same domain.
Your choices are
Login to SQL Server using your the Windows Domain account that you are currently logged into. You do this automatically by specifying Trusted_Connection=yes;, or
Login to SQL Server using a SQL Login.
Those are the only two choices possible using a SQL provider connection string. Specifically, you cannot use the SQL access provider to do impersonation, that is, to login to SQL Server using a different Windows domain account than the one that you are currently logged into.
Microsoft designed the AD integration with SQL Server to use the account of the client application, not to be able to handle logging in as a part of the connection string. If the user isn't going to be logged into the machine using the account needed for the database access, the next best option may be something like ShellRunAs in order to let the user run your client app as the correct AD account.
I want to log into an SQL Server database from Mule as a Windows User which has been setup as a generic support user and uses Windows authentication. This Windows user is in a different domain to my personal Windows user account and will use different username and password to me.
Is this possible and if so how would you get it to work in a Mule workflow? I am currently using the generic database connector with integrated security set to true but it looks like it keeps trying to log into the specified database with my credentials and not the username and password I am passing to it in the JDBC string.
When the workflow is complete the Mule project will be run in Anypoint Cloudhub.
Thanks
On Windows you can launch a process with runas /netonly to supply alternative credentials to be used for NTLM authentication.
See, eg
https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3250/connect-to-sql-servers-in-another-domain-using-windows-authentication/
You can also do this by caching a credential with the Windows Credential Manager, but that would cause your Windows account to always use the alternative credentials.
If I want to log into a SQL Server instance using another Windows account can I do this by simply selecting "SQL Server Authentication" as my authentication mode and entering the DOMAIN/username and password for the account I want to use?
Are there any special settings that I need to set in order to get this to work?
No. 'SQL Server Authentication' works only with SQL Server logins, it won't work with a NT login. To log in as another credential have the process run as the credential you desire to run as. Use runas, most likely you want to run SSMS like this:
runas /netonly /user:domain\user "c:\program files\...\ssms.exe"
By specifying the /netonly argument your SSMS will run with the desired NT credential only for remote hosts, locally will have your local credentials. This not only preserves your SSMS environment (last used files, options etc) and doesn't require domain\user to have local priviledges, but, more importantly, it works even for a completely unrelated domain. That is if you machine is in domain foo (or not even joined to the domain) and the desired runas is in domain bar, the runas /netonly /user:bar\user ... will run just fine.
The /netonly trick works only if the SQL server host you are connecting to is remote (not on the same machine). If is local, then your runas must be locally using the desired credential, so remove the /netonly argument.
If you have Windows 7, you can add credentials for other domains via Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Credential Manager. Map your credentials to each server you want to log into.
Then, log into additional machines using Windows Authentication. I think there is a caveat - it will try to log you in to the server using your current domain/username. IF that is rejected, it will lookup any entries you have for that server in Credential Manager, and if those are valid, you will be logged in.
If I understand the question correctly, the solution it just ship + Right click on your SSMS, that will give you "connect as different user" option and that where you want to put your windows authentication. Domain\User and password.
