...Windows Authentication on Microsoft SQL Server Introduction Microsoft SQL Server offers two types of security authentication: SQL Server authentication and Windows authentication. SQL Server authentication authenticates the user to the database using a database user name and password. Windows authentication is also referred to as "Windows Integrated Security" or a "trusted connection" because it relies on the user being authenticated, or “trusted,” by the operating system. Windows authentication is the authentication mode recommended by Microsoft. Windows authentication takes advantage of Windows user security and account mechanisms. By allowing Microsoft SQL Server to share the user name and password used for Windows, users with a valid Windows account can log into Microsoft SQL Server without supplying a user name and password. In addition to a single login within a Windows domain, Windows authentication provides a more secure mechanism for logging into Microsoft SQL Server. Standard Windows security mechanisms also provide the added advantages of auditing, password aging, minimum password length, and account lockout after multiple invalid login requests. The DataDirect Connect® for JDBC® SQL Server driver is the only JDBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server that provides two methods for supporting Windows authentication, a Pure Java (Type 4) implementation and a Windows-specific (Type 2) implementation. The Windows-specific implementation requires minimal configuration to enable...

...What is an HTTP Endpoint in Sql Server? Well, it is a way to create a usable interface using HTTP or TCP for SOAP, T-Sql, Service Brokering and a few other things. I’m just going to tell you, quick and simple, about creating a web service to return data, although you can return scalar values, messages and errors too. The results returned are serialized into Xml. If you have Windows 2003, you don’t have to have IIS installed. Sql server will use the http.sys module in the Win2K3 kernel. So lets look at creating a usable web service from within Sql Server. Lets start with creating a stored procedure. Create stored procedure to return list of employees use adventureworks go create procedure dbo.GetEmployees As select e.employeeid, e.title, c.FirstName + ‘ ‘ + c.Lastname As Fullname from HumanResources.employee e inner join person.contact c on e.contactid = c.contactid go Now, lets create our sql server web service, known as an HTTP ENDPOINT. The Sql 2005 code to create the HTTP ENDPOINT use adventureworks go CREATE ENDPOINT GetEmployees STATE = STARTED AS HTTP ( PATH = ‘/Employee’, AUTHENTICATION = (INTEGRATED), PORTS = (CLEAR), SITE = ‘localhost’ ) FOR SOAP ( WEBMETHOD ‘EmployeeList’ (NAME=’AdventureWorks.dbo.GetEmployees’), BATCHES = DISABLED, WSDL = DEFAULT, DATABASE = ‘AdventureWorks’, NAMESPACE = ‘http://AdventureWorks/Employee’ ) go There we go. We now have a web service! You access...

...regards to common use of databases is concerned, they offer capacity in creating queries, definitions, updates and management of and within databases. The integral programs are additionally in control of arranging information that may possibly hold procedures regarding data entry, authentication, storing data, and recovery. Concerning Microsoft SQL Server in addition to Oracle it may well be undoubtedly identified that it’s possible for Microsoft SQL Server to serve as industry leader as well as being favored by a high percentage of companies/businesses in regards to each ones individual database requirements. One major difference between companies selecting either Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle for their database requirements is the cost; Oracle is substantially higher. Businesses must search for skilled individuals in order to manage an Oracle database; this equates to these individuals requiring a much higher salary, except when it comes to Microsoft SQL Server; this individual is not required to have strong skills during the start-up. The learning curve in Oracle is a little more complex than it is in Microsoft SQL Server. As concerns execution goes, the operation of Microsoft SQL Server is sufficient for roughly 200 GB, whereas Oracle is able to achieve much higher level of operation. If data volume...

...is my recommendation that the company move to a more secure, robust, centralized database server company wide. The database system recommended is Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for its ability to be a central database to handle, customer information, widget inventory, company payroll, and other sensitive data. Our current process requires users to open separate databases to retrieve information or call other users to obtain information out of another database. This current setup is not only inefficient it is also not secure and provides not backup for disaster recovery. I have created a comprehensive plan that will outline all of the requirements for upgrading our systems to Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The following will be addressed: * Installation requirements for SQL Server 2005 * Databases being used * Data types needed * Database Objects * Mail * Security * Database Protection * Availability * Maintenance and monitoring The first step in transitioning over to a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 system will be to prepare our server systems and make sure they meet the minimum requirements for installing. The minimum requirements for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 are listed below: Hardware and Software Requirements (32-Bit and 64-Bit) * Pentium III Processor 600mhz or faster * 512mb of ram, 1gb of ram is recommended * Monitor * SQL Server graphical tools require VGA or higher resolution: at least 1,024x768 pixel resolution. ...
