Hello,
I have some mysterieous problems.
I want to try a little bit with Users and Permissions on ArcSDE for SQL Server (all on one server).
I have an account on the server, which is also sysadmin on sqlserver.
I make use of a SDE Service.
There are two databases, one was intalled with SDE and the other one with DBO.
I try to connect the sde from another machine with ArcCatalog using add spatial Database Connection.
My Account on this other machine does not match the one on the server but I use a command, to start ArcCatalog with different credentials.
available parameters are:
- the username of the Windows Server (which also is added to sysadmin to sqlserver isntance)
- the name of the Windows Server
- the users password
Connection to the SDE User Database.
1)
I start ArcCatalog with "username" and "password" and want to add a spatial connection.
1a)
I use database authentication and type in either "servername\username" and "password" or "username" and password.
--> The testConnection says badLogin.
1b)
I Use windows authentication.
--> The testConnection says succeed.
2)
I start ArcCatalog with "servername\username" and "password" and want to add a spatial connection.
2a)
I use database authentication and type in "username" and "password".
--> The testConnection says succeed.
2b)
I use database authentication and type in "servername\username" and "password".
--> The testConnection says badLogin.
2c)
I Use windows authentication.
--> The testConnection says succeed.
When trying to connect to the DBO user Database, every combination will fail in bad login error message.
So I do not know why there are so much bad logins (on either SDE and DBO) and why the db-authentication only works when using "servername\username" and "password" to start arcCatalog, because its db authentication, should it then doesnt matter which windows login i use on my client????
How can I connect to the DBO Geodatabase?
Thanksfor help and discussion.
