What is a trusted connection in terms of SQL Server 2005 (Trusted vs Windows Auth)?
A trusted connection is the same thing as using Windows Authentication in SQL Server 2005. Authentication is done by the domain, and authorization is handled by SQL Server.
SQL Server can also use its own logins, such as the sa user. These are both authenticated and authorized by SQL Server. They are only viable if SQL Server is run in Mixed Authentication Mode.
MSDN has a good article about choosing the right Authentication Mode. It's a good primer.
A Trusted connection means Windows Authentication (i.e. a Windows login).
SQL Server has two Authentication modes: Mixed and Windows Authentication Mode.
Mixed has the option of SQL server logins (username and password) and Windows Authentication.

I been trying to connect my AWS based windows 16 server to a Microsoft SQL Server which uses Windows authentication. All I received from the team was the server URL and the database name, I been trying to connect tableau prep to the SQL but all I am getting is the
"SQL Server Network Interfaces: No credentials are available in the security package" error.
I have also enabled Windows authentication on the server but is it possible for me to manually add my Active directory username and password to the windows 16 windows authentication ? how do I approach this ?
Would appreciate any kind of input on this.
Is it possible to authenticate using Active Directory Password Authentication in Toad for SQL Server 6.8?
In Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio there's an option for this, but in Toad for SQL Server there's only "Windows Authentication" and "SQL Server Authentication".
My Login name is my email address, e.g., last.first#domain.com.
When I log in with SQL Server Authentication in Toad, it fails with the error message
"Cannot open server "domain.com" requested by the login. The login
failed."
Windows Authentication uses the credentials that you are currently logged in with to authenticate.
The SQL server will need to use Windows Authentication and your AD user name will need to be given access.
I was told in the Toad World forums that Toad for SQL Server 6.8 doesn't support Active Directory Password Authentication.
i need to establish a conecction to a SQL Server Express from remotes pcs. But i can do it, only can establish it from the pc where is the SQL. Thank you for your help.
If you are using Integrated Security (Windows Authentication) and a local user account (from the PC with SQL installed), such account can only be authenticated on that PC.
For database account (SQL Server Authentication) you'll need to create a database login and enable Mixed authentication (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188670.aspx)
I have account set up on SQL Server such that it uses my Windows authentication to connect to SQL Server.
Is there a way I can set up trusted connection to connect to MS SQL in Grails.
I am using :
Grails 2.0.1
SQL Server 2008
Unix
Thanks
If you're using the jTDS JDBC driver (if not, I would suggest it over the MS driver), the README.SSO file included in the jTDS distribution describes how to configure trusted/single-sign-on authentication. There is a native DLL that needs to be made available to the JVM for SSO to work. Note that the DLL is Windows-only, so you wouldn't be able to host your Grails app on Unix.
Another possibility would be to specify your Windows AD domain, username and password in your jTDS connection string. See http://jtds.sourceforge.net/faq.html#urlFormat specifically, the domain property:
domain
Specifies the Windows domain to authenticate in. If present and the user name and password are provided, jTDS uses Windows (NTLM)
authentication instead of the usual SQL Server authentication (i.e.
the user and password provided are the domain user and password). This
allows non-Windows clients to log in to servers which are only
configured to accept Windoes authentication...
I'm trying to connect to a remote SQL Server Express machine using Windows authentication.
I´m logged on with a user with username Administrator, but when logging in, I get the error message:
Login failed for user guest ...
Why is not using the Administrator account?
Thanks in advance.
For Windows Authentication to work, the target machine has to be on a domain where your Windows credentials will be recognized. If the server is outside of your organization's control, it will not recognize your credentials and you will have to use a Sql Server user ID and password to log in.
SQL Server Express by default only allows local connections - you can enable it, but you have to explicitly do so.
