Hello,
I'm still having trouble getting my app to authenticate correctly.
I have read the tips at:
http://www.devhood.com/messages/message_view-2.aspx?thread_id=72204

and am still having trouble making this happen correctly. Here are my
settings.
SQL Server 2005 db access is required
Web page
Anonymous access is turned off in IIS.
<identity impersonate="true" />
<impersonate="true" />

Connection string is:
packet size=4096;Trusted_Connection=True;data source=NTserver;persist
security info=False;initial catalog=MyTest"

I pass in my user name and password as:

User Id=me;Password=mypassword

When I take out the User Id and Password stuff and put in:
Integrated Security=SSPI

I get logged in, but only on my developement machine and not another box.

When the user name and password is passed in the connection string I get the
login failed for User Id=me

I'm the dbo of this sql server database so I should be able to log in.
However, I need to be able to access this web page from machines other than
my development box also.

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks

Going by your input there could be 2 problems that I can think off

1) SQL Server is configured for Windows Authentication only and not mixed
authentication

2) The account used to set the security context for the application pool of
your web site has no access to the other box' SQL Server

Gabriel,
thank you for your reply.

I have a SQL Server login established now and I can log in on my development
machine but I'm getting the Anonymous login failure on my test box.

my machinename\ASPNET is a user of the database and is a user for the
server, it looks like to me.
What other account might be being used to set the security context for the
application pool? I'm not sure about this part.

Another piece of information here is that if I run the app on my development
box, then go to my test box and access the web page as:
my machinename/ClarkCategory/Startfrm1.aspx it will open up and work
correctly. However, once a certain amount of time has expired, the login
will fail on my test box again.

Login failures are logged to the Application event log therefore try to
reconnect and then look at the event log for "login failed" messages.

Yeah, I'm not seeing any logs that seem helpful in the event viewer.
However, the line that causes the login failure is where I try to open the
connection to SQL Server.
If I take the impersonate="true"
line out of the web.config file, I can no longer log in on my development
box either.

Sure Gabriel. This is the exception I get if on my test box if I haven't run
the app on my development box very recently:

Exception Text:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information
about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user
'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.

Source Error:


Line 209: If SqlConnection2.State <> ConnectionState.Open Then
Line 210: SqlConnection2.ConnectionString = scon
Line 211: SqlConnection2.Open()
Line 212: End If
Line 213: com.Connection = SqlConnection2

Source File: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ClarkCategory\StartFrm1.aspx.vb Line: 211

Does this have anything to do with the double hop problem?
