Well, I wouldn't have tried the "other" type first, but I see that in that technote I shared it does say you may need to do it because of some other bug. Did you at least try it as a normal SQL Server DSN? I see you say later, "I also tried the value of the JDBC URL in the Connection String value under advanced settings". Right, that is all I was meaning in my suggestion. So do you get the exact same error message then? That's important for us to know.
You then say "I can create the same data connection using the Windows SQL Server ODBC driver on the web server successfully, so DB permissions and configuration should not be a factor". Well, again let's be sure we understand what you're saying. In that ODBC datasource, did you also get to leave the username/pw blank? And even if so, don't you see that the login then would not be that with which you started CF. I don't know what it would be, except perhaps the System account. I haven't done much with ODBC drivers in years. But we want to be sure you're comparing apples to apples before making any conclusions. Again, the point of the trusted auth in CF is that if you leave the username/pw off, it then uses whatever account CF is started with. And I'll note that in googling the error you got, I found one page at least (http://forums.devshed.com/coldfusion-development-84/cfmx-7-02-and-ms-sql-20 05t-469693.html) where one of the commenters said that the solution for him was adding a SQL Server login (using Management Studio) to define a user for whatever account CF was using, then grant it access to the particular database. So are you sure that's been done on the SQL Server? Just trying to help you think through things. I realize you may come back that all those are done and you still have the problem. Sadly, nearly ever reference to this problem on the web offers no solution (other than "use sql authentication"). But the whole point of the hotfix (or the change in 8 and 9) was to allow specifically this feature, so I will look forward to us finding and resolving the problem for you. Perhaps it's just a minor issue of not having made the needed change in SQL Server. Looking forward to your answer. :-) /charlie From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rob Saxon Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 4:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion system account access to database Charlie, I found the same article earlier this afternoon. Your guidance added confirmation that this may lead to the solution. Since we are running MX7 and SQL Server 2008 Express, I updated the drivers. I restarted the server and configured an "Other" type data source where I specified: JDBC URL: jdbc:macromedia:sqlserver://[server_name]:1433;databaseName=[db_name]; SelectMethod=direct;sendStringParametersAsUnicode=false;MaxPooledStatements= 0;AuthenticationMethod=Type2; Driver class: macromedia.jdbc.MacromediaDriver Driver Name: User Name: Password: Description: All blank Advanced settings: Defaults Throws this error: Connection verification failed for data source: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Could not establish a connection using integrated security: No LoginModules configured for JDBC_DRIVER_01 The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Could not establish a connection using integrated security: No LoginModules configured for JDBC_DRIVER_01 Other notes: .

I can create the same data connection using the Windows SQL Server ODBC driver on the web server successfully, so DB permissions and configuration should not be a factor. Any other thoughts of things to try? Thank so much for your help! Rob From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charlie Arehart Sent: Monday, February 21, 2011 5:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion system account access to database Rob, what you're trying to do is referred to as "trusted"or "type 2" or "windows" authentication. The good news is that if you're using CF 8 or 9, all you need to do is leave the username blank. CF will use that to infer that you want to use trusted authentication with, as you note, whatever account has been used to start CF. This is discussed in the docs, but it's pretty easy to miss, even for those who ever do note that there are docs on CF Administration. :-) CF9: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811 cbf364104-7fe5.html CF8: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=datasource s_ADV_MJS_11.html If you're on CF7, though, such trusted authentication was enabled only by updating the JDBC drivers, a discussed in this technote: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/42dcb10a.html And further, you needed to modify the connection parameters. See the section there near the bottom on "SQL Server NT authentication users".
