can't connect to sql server with domain users? Help....

[Reza]

Hello

The project was working, where I had a domain user registered in the database as a user, and I used that user to connect the datebase. Everything was fine and it was working, then when I moved the project to the production servers - database server and web server. Following that all the users are failing to connct to database, getting this message
"login failed for user 'username'

I am getting the user with property identity and it is registered identically in the database user list

I am pretty much stuck and ran out of ideas to try. So a resolution will be greatly apreciated

Thanks in advance

Just to clarify, I have updated the server and database name in the connection string.

are you sure that in the connection string the user is DOMAINNAME\USERNAME ?
have you tried by connection like this:

server=servername;database=databasename;Integrated Security=True

Have you tried to connect with sql query analizer with your username and
password
if you don't have query analizer try this:

osql -U yourusername -P password -S servername -d database

if this is failed to than you don't have sql authentication to your server

Yes, I tried both of these, but no luck. I tried with domain name and without. Tried the trusted connection, Integrated Security=True, but still
the same problem - Login failed for user 'username'!

I get the same message when I tried your suggestion. Looks like it is complaining that there is not a secure connection. How do I do this? I changed the authenticaion to both, SQL and windows, but still the same thing

Any idea

Now when you change it to sql and windows authentication you have to add the
aspnet user to the database and use Integrated Security=True

Well I thought I had resolved this, but looks like this company's policy not allows sql authentication for the users, so I am back to step one.
It works for aspnet user, however, there is a fix list of people that will be able to access it, which they belong to a domain.
and looks like I get the same message, login failed for user 'username'

If you can add these domain users to a domain group and then add rights for
this group and set the quthentication to be windows authentication

check if the group Domain Users has not been added with deny rights
