Windows authentication from ASP.net application to Sql Server

I am setting up my Web ASP.net application to connect to Sql server using
windows authentication.

I set up IIS to have integrated windows authenication and sql to allow
Windows authentication. And I trun annonymous login.

I use this connection to connect.
server={0};database={1};Integrated Security=SSPI
where {0} servname and {1} database name

I got the following error:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.

I am wondering what is the correct setup for the IIS and Sql Server.

thanks,
Alice

If you want to use WIndows Auth you will have to turn off anon access and use
impersonation.

YEAH... I did turn off annoynous access and set impersonation to true in
web.config

IIS's Integrated Windows Authentication means that the website pages
will be accessed/executed under the user account of the user requesting
them (for requests that come from users on the same domain as the
webserver); so, the ASP process should be runing in the context of
whoever's accessing the site, not ANONYMOUS USER, as the error message
implies it is. So, you should check the directory security for the
relevant folders/site really *is* set to prevent anonymous access (and
also put a check in the ASP code to see what account it's running
under).

However, if you do use IWA + ASP impersonation, then the data access
should be done under a different account, as otherwise you'd have to
grant all your domain users rights to connect to the database server
(as the data access would be done in the context of their accounts).
You could impersonate a specific account for when you need access to
the database, and then grant that account rights to log in to the SQL
Server, by giving it the T-SQL command EXEC sp_grantlogin 'username'
where username is the qualified name of the account.

yeah.. let's say the SQl server has Windows authentication. Anyone within
the domain can access to the db server. I would like to authenticate
according to their windows user information instead of granting a specify
account to the db. Can we do that?

Hi Alice,

I assume that you've correctly configured the IIS to authenticate client
with windows authentication and also use windows authenitcation in asp.net
application and turn on impersonate (<identity impersonate="true".... /> ),
also you can use System.

Still one question, is your sqlserver instance installed on another remote
server or on the same server with the IIS/ASP.Net? As for the IIS's
integarted windows authenticated user(also impersonated in asp.net) , their
security context (NT logon session) only works on the server where IIS and
ASPNET reside. So if SqlServer is on another remote machine, the
IIS/ASP.NET's security context can not be forwarded to that remote machine
(no double hops). This is an existing limitation of the NTLM
authentication ....

If we need to let the windows user context be able to hop to the remote
sqlserver, we have the following means:

1. Use basic authentication instead of integrated windows, this will force
the client user to input clear text username/password. So this is always
used together with HTTPS/SSL secure channel....

2. Use a single fixed impersonate account , like
<identify impersonate="true" userName="xxx" password="xxx"/>
In addition, there does exists solution for windows authenticated security
token being forwarded accorss mutlpile server hops, but that require
client/server to use restricted kerberos delegation which has critical
requirement on clientside and serverside.....

win2k server's particular OS security setting....
