I am trying to give IIS full control permissions to a folder located on the C: drive of the machine that is hosting the website. It contains database files that are necessary for my application. Is there some way to give explicit permissions for IIS?
Someone posted that I could give NETWORK SERVICE full control over the directory, so I've already granted The NETWORK SERVICE account full permissions and I'm still not able to access the database files. Everything works fine when I store a copy of the database files inside of \inetpub\wwwroot folder.
IIS Version 8.5.9600.16384
Look at the Application Pool and grant the permissions to the App Pool identity, or set the identity to a user who has the necessary permissions.
Are you using a local database? if it is local, open port 1433. SQL Connection String
choose the one that suits you

I have an Advantage Database Server that works as expected when it is not a member of Active Directory Domain. However, once I join the domain, I can no longer connect to the database services. I checked to see if the database server service was still running and it was. I even checked the file permissions of the database files and added the appropriate user to the folder without any luck.
Does anybody know if there is anything that might be preventing connections to the database server from being established?
Even when you join the domain, you should still be able to log on as the original user, who should still have the same access rights to software applications and the DB.
Are you logging on as a domain user, or are you still logging on as the old local account? When you say "connect to the db services" do you mean launch a local app?
Is the service running as a specified user? Or is it local system etc? What is the desired goal in joining the domain?
More information needed... thanks!
Running SQL Server 2016. Currently have a solution that is hosted in one domain and of course our access point is in another. we need to pull data in an automated fashion.
We have added a windows credential with the credential manager which collects endpoint information and a set of credentials.
e.g.
Internet or Networkaddress: mydatabase.remotedomain.com
Username : remotedomain\username
Password : password
This solution works with many tools, Excel, SSMS direct query, Visual Studio. The user enters the endpoint (server url or IP/port) and uses windows integrated security. the connection is made and credential store does the trick and user is authenticated.
SSMS example
Server name: mydatabase.remotedomain.com
Authentication: Windows Authentication
My challenge is SSIS and SQL Agent. The SSIS package runs in VS2015. deploy the package to Integration Services Catalog - highlight package and execute and it runs.
Create a SQL Server Agent Job and execute the job and I receive this gift.....
Login Failed: The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication
I have created a SQL credential, created a Proxy (SSIS Package Execution), created a job that uses the Run As with the Credential but this ends with the same result. The credential has to be in my local domain or the job wont run....and of course localdomain\username does not authenticate against the remote data connection. So Proxy does not help the situation.
What I was expecting is that the windows credential manager would swap the credentials as it does when the job is run manually, or through excel or a number of any other ways...
I opened a ticket with Microsoft and worked with one of their senior resources on this.
this appears to be a bug in SQL Agent. There is no known reason or issue that prevents SQL Agent from picking up the remote credential from the Windows Credential Store, but it is not.
A working alternative was to use the command line utility DTEXEC. some slight modification to the SSIS project to make sure all connection managers are at the package level instead of project (created a reference issue).
this solution is not ideal, but it worked and DTEXEC allowed SSIS to pickup the required credential in the store and execute without issue.
I will follow up once Microsoft completes their research and gets back to me, the ticket is still open.
Sorry but changing the group to Global or Universal for the local AD account is not having any effect. I am bit lost on how making a change on the local account in use for SQL Agent will make any difference. The solution works in all the tools by local account substitution with the remote account setup in Credential Manager. If I missed it, and making this change should work, please provide an example of the setup if possible.
Again it appears this process is not being executed/followed by SQL Server Agent since it works everywhere else but not in a job executed by the Agent.
so again my hope is somebody has seen something like this before and has a solution.
my end goal is to just automate pulling data from a remote SQL server where there is no trust. I was hopeful that the proxy solution would work, but when you set the credentials to the remote domain\username, the job wont even execute.
Is there a way to setup my connection in the SSIS package to expressly set the credentials to the remote domain\username\pwd. I took a stab at that and couldnt get that to fly either. if so, an example is priceless to me.
I dont care how i get to the goal line, just need to...thanks all for the help
Your window credential account should be an AD user account which is in a Group with a scope of either Global or Universal. Universal groups are useful where you have multiple domains.
The process will execute in whatever context it's called in (i.e. by you, SQL Agent, or the proxy account). It doesn't change executable context as it calls different processes, unless you pragmatically make it, and that's bad idea anyway...
Had similar issue and it was a nightmare to resolve! Learned a lot of fun AD configuration tips along the way.
Understanding User and Group Accounts states the following:
Groups can have different scopes—domain local, built-in local, global, and universal. That is, the groups have different areas in which they are valid.
Global groups:
Groups that are used to grant permissions to objects in any domain in the domain tree or forest. Members of global groups can include only accounts and groups from the domain in which they are defined.
Universal groups:
Groups that are used to grant permissions on a wide scale throughout a domain tree or forest. Members of global groups include accounts and groups from any domain in the domain tree or forest.
EDIT
If it's just a data pull from one domain to another, can the data be first exported to a csv in the untrusted domain and then SFTP'd into your environment where the TL(Transform and Load) of the ETL(Extract-Transform-Load) process could take place?
SSIS would be a good tool for this, but C# and Powershell could also be used.
I have two PC.
For development PC and Test Server PC.
I login Development PC use KJM/MyUser.
And login Test Server use CDM/Administrator.
I deploy a web site. This have to get user name and domain.
If i access this site from development PC.
I get CDM/guest. It is wrong. I want to get KJM/MyUser.
I surveied web. And now I expect that this problem concern active directory.
It permit access CDM/USERS that folder of server include deployed website files.
If i Change setting to deny CDM/USERS. I can't access from development pc.
And I added permit access user IIS_IUSRS. and tested that deny access IIS_IUSRS.
as a result I could access from development pc.
So now. I expect that If i add access permition KJM/MyUser on server folder, i can get KJM/MyUser instead CDM/guest.(just my expectation).
I think KJM/MyUser have not authorization to access server's folder. So try to Access the folder with IIS_IUSRS. I think It is the reason return CDM/guest to me.
It is just my expectation.But i can't Check about this because. I can't add permition KJM Domain User on test server. The server only can add CDM Domain.
I just need to My expectaion is wrong or right. If i wrong and you have some idead about my problem, please tell me some idea.
Thank you.
USERS and IIS_USRS group is permit access everyone. Evenif server don't know who is accessor. But Server don't know they. So try use guest account.
It is the reason return serverdomainname\guest.
My test server didn't participate in active directory.
So server never know about my localPC.
I make test server participate in active directory.
And add access permition domain on site.
And solved this problem.
I've generated an AD-LDS instance on a Windows Server 2008 R2 and successfully connected to it via ADSI Edit on a windows 7 machine (both computers are situated on the same domain).
My goal is to create a lightweight .NET program that will be run by all domain users and determine whether a specific user can or cannot perform a certain action (roles & groups).
So far i've managed to write most of it, but i'm now facing a small security issue: althought no credentials are required when running from the server itself, when running from another user (in the same domain, ofcourse), LDS connection requires the instance's administrator credentials - and i'm not too keen to leave this kind of thing lie around in my code.
I've search the web quite a lot for a way to bypass that (Active Directory binding? / SimpleBinding?), but all solutions i found involved SSL and certificate installations.
Is there a simple way for a user in the domain to connect the LDS instance without exposing his/the server's credentials?
Thanks.
Have you looked at permissions in the instance itself? There are groups you can add principals to. It sounds like you're running the code locally as the user that installed LDS which by default gets all sorts of perms, but other users were not granted enough rights (secure by default and all that).
I'm running an IIS 7 Website with an AppPool of Integrated Pipeline Mode.
The AppPools does NOT run under NetworkService, etc.. identity (by purpose), but uses its own AppPool Identitiy (IIS AppPool\MyAppPool).
This is a so called service account or virtual account.
(a user account, which is not a full account...)
I'd like to give this service account (IIS AppPool\MyAppPool) permissions to connect to my SQL Server 2008 Express (running in Mixed Auth. Mode).
While SQL Server can add any normal user account, the IIS AppPool\MyAppPool virtual account cannot be added to the valid logons (SQL Server says, that the account cannot be found).
Is there any trick, anything I need to enable to make the virtual accounts work?
(the w3wp.exe process runs under this identity according to taskmgr, but I cannot use the account in NTFS security either...)
Thanks for your help!
The "IIS APPPOOL\AppPoolName" will work, but as mentioned previously, it does not appear to be a valid AD name so when you search for it in the "Select User or Group" dialog box, it won't show up (actually, it will find it, but it will think its an actual system account, and it will try to treat it as such...which won't work, and will give you the error message about it not being found).
How I've gotten it to work is:
In SQL Server Management Studio, look for the Security folder (the security folder at the same level as the Databases, Server Objects, etc. folders...not the security folder within each individual database)
Right click logins and select "New Login"
In the Login name field, type IIS APPPOOL\YourAppPoolName - do not click search
Fill whatever other values you like (i.e., authentication type, default database, etc.)
Click OK
As long as the AppPool name actually exists, the login should now be created.
CREATE LOGIN [IIS APPPOOL\MyAppPool] FROM WINDOWS;
CREATE USER MyAppPoolUser FOR LOGIN [IIS APPPOOL\MyAppPool];
You can solve like this,
Open "Applications Pools",
You should right click that you have choosed application pool. Then choose
"Advanced Settings".
Click three point on the Identity tab then you should choose "LocalSystem" from field of "Built-in-account"
If you do this way, you don't need to create a user in database.
If you're going across machines, you either need to be using NETWORK SERVICE, LOCAL SYSTEM, a domain account, or a SQL 2008 R2 (if you have it) Managed Service Account (which is my preference if you had such an infrastructure). You can not use an account which is not visible to the Active Directory domain.
As a side note processes that uses virtual accounts (NT Service\MyService and IIS AppPool\MyAppPool) are still running under the "NETWORK SERVICE" account as this post suggests http://www.adopenstatic.com/cs/blogs/ken/archive/2008/01/29/15759.aspx. The only difference is that these processes are members of the "NT Service\MyService" or "IIS AppPool\MyAppPool" groups (as these are actually groups and not users). This is also the reason why the processes authenticate at the network as the machine the same way NETWORK SERVICE account does.
The way to secure access is not to depend upon this accounts not having NETWORK SERVICE privileges but to grant more permissions specifically to "NT Service\MyService" or "IIS AppPool\MyAppPool" and to remove permissions for "Users" if necessary.
If anyone has more accurate or contradictional information please post.
Look at: http://www.iis.net/learn/manage/configuring-security/application-pool-identities
USE master
GO
sp_grantlogin 'IIS APPPOOL\<AppPoolName>'
USE <yourdb>
GO
sp_grantdbaccess 'IIS APPPOOL\<AppPoolName>', '<AppPoolName>'
sp_addrolemember 'aspnet_Membership_FullAccess', '<AppPoolName>'
sp_addrolemember 'aspnet_Roles_FullAccess', '<AppPoolName>'

I would also advise longer term to consider a limited rights domain user, what you are trying works fine in a silo machine scenario but you are going to have to make changes if you move to another machine for the DB server.
I figured it out through trial and error... the real chink in the armor was a little known setting in IIS in the Configuration Editor for the website in
Section: system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication
From: ApplicationHost.config <locationpath='ServerName/SiteName' />
called useAppPoolCredentials (which is set to False by default. Set this to True and life becomes great again!!! Hope this saves pain for the next guy....
In my case the problem was that I started to create an MVC Alloy sample project from scratch in using Visual Studio/Episerver extension and it worked fine when executed using local Visual studio iis express.
However by default it points the sql database to LocalDB and when I deployed the site to local IIS it started giving errors some of the initial errors I resolved by:
1.adding the local site url binding to C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts
2. Then by editing the application.config found the file location by right clicking on IIS express in botton right corner of the screen when running site using Visual studio and added binding there for local iis url.
3. Finally I was stuck with "unable to access database errors" for which I created a blank new DB in Sql express and changed connection string in web config to point to my new DB and then in package manager console (using Visual Studio) executed Episerver DB commands like -
1. initialize-epidatabase
2. update-epidatabase
3. Convert-EPiDatabaseToUtc
For the ApplicationPoolIdentity, add a login/user in MSSQL as IIS_IUSRS which is corresponding to the default pool.
