Connection to SQL Server database

I keep on getting an error when I try to connect to my database throuh my ASP.NET WEb application. The error says login failed for user...

Initially I was using Windows Authentication with Impersonation turned on. This let me connect to the database no problem.

However, I decided to change my method of connecting to the database for performance reasons but now I get this error.

I store my connection string in web.config and it looks like this:

<appSettings>
 <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=server;
 Database=dbname;Connect Timeout=15;Network Library=dbmssocn;uid=username;password=userpassword"/>
 </appSettings>

Further down in the web.config file I still have this:

<authentication mode="Windows" /
<authorization>
 <allow users="nameofusergroup" />
 <deny users="?" />
</authorization
<identity impersonate="true" />

Any ideas why I would be able to connect to the database using impersonation and not when I explicity give the crudentials in the connection string?

Regards

Wallaceprobably SQL Server isn't configured for SQL Authentication. just windows.

Connection to Server Failed - Analysis Services

Hi,
For some unknown reason, we are getting the following "Connection to Server
Failed" error message when we attempt to register our local server using MS
Analysis Services:
"Errors occurred while connecting to '<localservername>'. Cannot open
connection to Analysis server '<localservername>'. Cannot connect to the
server '<localservername>'. The server is either not started or too busy. Do
you still want to register the server?
Please note that we are running the Developer versions of MS SQL Server 2000
and MS Analysis Services with SP3 installed for both components on Windows X
P
Professional.
Also note that we ARE ABLE TO REGISTER A REMOTE SERVER successfully using
Analysis Manager, but we aren't able to either register or connect to a loca
l
server because we get the message above.
We are uttterly confused by this error message and would GREATLY APPRECIATE
any help in resolving this confusing issue as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Raj C.Is the Analysis services service started on the local machine?

You can have it installed on the machine, but it doesn't do anything if
you don't actually start the service.

connection to Analysis server failed

May you help for beginner.
I have installed MS SQL server 2005 to local computer. I can not connect to
Server type "Analysis Services" from Management studio.
Message "A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running.
(Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient)" appears.
But I can connect to the following Server types: Database Engine
Reporting service
Integration service
I have reinstalled application, but same behaviour.
Please, how I can ensure that AnalysisServices server is running?
Thank you for your help.
Zdenek
You can use the SQL Server Configuration Manager to check
the service.
Open up SQL Server Configuration Manager and on the left,
select SQL Server 2005 Services. On the right, check SQL
Server Analysis Services. You can start it from here if it's
not running and you can configure how, when you want the
service to start (manual, automatic, etc)

Connection timeout/ODBC failed

Dear All,
I am working on a VBA (MS Access) application, which connects Remote
SQL Server by ODBC Connection. When I open this application on my
workstation the error "Connection timeout' or "ODBC - failed"
will occur, But when I open it on the remote desktop it will run.
Can you suggest me what is going wrong.
Regards,
ShitalPerhaps you are blocked by port or by IP address. Typically, SQL Server
inside a network is not exposed to the outside world directly unless it
needs to be.
Can you connect to the remote SQL Server using Enterprise Manager or Query
Analyzer?

Connection remotely gives error.

Hi
When I sign on to my SQL server locally using windows authentication all is
ok.
When I sign on at a client PC I get "Logon failed for user xxx/guest"
Using SQL Authority works ok.
Any suggestions?
TimWhen you connect remotely are you logged into the domain?
Can you map a drive to the SQL Server machine?
Thanks,
