Hi all,
I've stumbled upon a problem that I cannot solve, and our local IT
group and Server administration group is scratching their heads also.
I have a classic ASP application (Windows Server 2000, SQL Server
2000, ASP 3.0).
I'm in the process moving this application for the first time
ever from the developmental environment to the production
environment.
The developmental environment is one windows box, combining web
server and database server. The production environment consists of
two boxes, one acting as the web server and the other as the database
server. Both have the same versions of server software installed.
At the same time that I am moving the application, I have been
directed to change the SQL Server authentication from "SQL Server
and Windows" to "Windows only". I am told that the owner
of
the target production network will not allow our application to be
hooked-in so long as we are running in mixed-mode.
My working (mixed mode) connection string is as follows:
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Password=;Persist
Security Info=True;User ID=CEC;Initial Catalog=CECDB;Data Source=CEC-
SQL"
My non-working (windows authentication) connection string is as
follows:
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security
Info=True;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=CECDB;Data
Source=CEC-PROD-SQL"
The changes are between the connection strings are:
1) I removed the "User ID=" & "Password="
parameters
2) I added the "Integrated Security=SSPI" parameter
3) The "Data Source" points to the new SQL Server box
I've also tried adding "Trusted Connection=Yes" &
"Trusted User=True".
The underlying database is the same, having been backed up on the
developmental system and restored on the target system. I can look
at it just fine in Enterprise Manager, and I can connect to both
databases using MS-Excel from another machine on the network and
download table contents.
However, and (finally) here's the problem �
When I launch my ASP application, the first thing it does after
setting up some frames and drawing some graphics is to attempt to
access the database to check the "tblPersonnel" to validate
the user login. When the ASP code tries to access the database, the
following occurs on the main window frame of the application:
Microsoft OLD DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e4d'
Login Failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
/includes/connection.txt, Line 4
Here is the connection.txt file (it contains the same connection
string as detailed above � watch for line wrapping � line 4
is "Conn.Open"):
<%
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security
Info=True;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=CECDB;Data
Source=CEC-PROD-SQL"
Conn.Open
%>
The SQL Server configurations are identical between development and
production so far as I can determine, as are the IIS configurations.
Is there anyone out there who might provide some enlightenment to me
on how to solve this conundrum? I have Googled this error code and
message to death, and am near blind from reading Microsoft Knowledge
Base articles, both to no avail. The only thing that I've been
able to glean from those resources was to add some logins to the SQL
Server of the form "IUSR_<machine name>", but that didn't
help any either.
My two suspicions are that
1) either I'm doing something completely stupid and am too
close to the problem to catch it; or
2) there is some issue about moving from a single-server
developmental system to a dual-server production system that I am
missing out on and not allowing for.
But I freely admit that I am completely stumped; I have no idea of
where to go from here�
This seems like such a simple problem, but I've been at it for
several days now and cannot get it to go away. Is there anyone out
there who can help?
Thanks,
Cary
