Hello,
I am trying to connect to a SQL database and I have the following error:
What is happening? my credentials for the sql server i tried it in another program and they work...
Thanks in advice!
Solved! Go to Solution.
I solved my problem accessing the arcmap in admin mode.
What is the flavor of your SQL databse? Is it an enterprise (sde) geodatabase? Is it a personal sde geodatabse (sql server express) or a non-spatial SQL server database?
The SDEHome reference is an indication that you are connecting to an enterprise or sde geodatabase: if that is the case, you do not want to use a database server connection, but rather a direct connect database connection: fill in the instance with the name of the machine or IP address, username/password and database name.
I did that already using the ip and instance, but when i do that gives me that error.
Is this a remote database, that is on the other side of a fire wall?
Im not sure about it.
But for example, i just tried with my local administrator account from my computer to connect to that DB with arcmap and it worked.
If i tried with my domain acc i get the error that i showed u...
Sounds like your domain account login isn't a valid login in the SQL database. You need to find out if it is using windows authentication or database authentication and take the appropriate steps to get a correct login account.
Im not trying to log in with my domain account, i have special credentials to do it.
I said, when i log in in windows with a local account and try the credentials i have i can connect to the DB.
After that, if i log in in my pc with my domain acc and try the credentials i cannot connect to the db.
Idk whats happening.
Idk whats happening.
