Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

TBone

Anyone,

I have a user "john" whose machine is part of the "job" domain. He is
trying to establish an odbc connection to an MS SQL 2000 server on the
"school" domain. He uses Windows authentication to establish the odbc
connection however it gives the error "Login failed for user '(null)'.
Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."

I am guessing that the odbc connection is trying to pass the
credentials of job\john to the sql server. And since the sql server
is on the school domain it expects the credentials of school\john. Is
there anyway to specify the username and password so that this will
work even though the servers are on different domains without having
to trust the domains? Thanks in advance for
any help on this!!

To log into SQL Server, the user needs a SQL Server login. If your SQL
Server is set up to use NT Authentication or mixed mode authentication on
the Schools domain, then give John a login on the Schools domain and have
him login using those credentials.

Hi

The school domain needs to trust the job domain to allow this to occur. You
could use SQL Server authentication instead if you don't want this trust to
occur.

Error with impersonation: Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

by: Mark | last post by:

We are using impersonation so that a user on our domain will login into our SQL Server using their own domain login and/or associated domain groups. To do this, we've added: <authentication mode="Windows" /> <identity impersonate="true"/> to our web.config file. In IIS, annonymous access is unchecked, digest authentication is unchecked, basic authentication is unchecked, and Integrated Windows Authentication is checked.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
