1) Click on Start->All Programs->Microsoft SQL Server XXXX (Here XXXX is the Version of SQL Server you have). 2) Hold the Shift button and Right-Click on the application "SQL Server Management Studio". 3) Click on Run as different user. 4) Provide the AD username & password.
The generic message “Login Failed for User (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)” means you entered invalid credentials when logging into SQL Server.
Right-click on the Logins folder and select New Login. If you want to assign rights to a Windows account, select Windows authentication. If you want to create an account that exists only in the database, select SQL Server authentication. Provide the login name in the text box.
SQL Server was not configured to allow mixed authentication.
Here are steps to fix:
Select the SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode radio button, and click OK.
Right-click on the SQL Server instance, select Restart (alternatively, open up Services and restart the SQL Server service).
This is also incredibly helpful for IBM Connections users, my wizards were not able to connect until I fxed this setting.
If you haven't restarted your SQL database Server after you make login changes, then make sure you do that. Start
->Programs
->Microsoft SQL Server
-> Configuration tools
-> SQL Server configuration manager
-> Restart Server
.
It looks like you only added the user to the server. You need to add them to the database too. Either open the database/Security/User/Add New User or open the server/Security/Logins/Properties/User Mapping.
You'll likely need to check the SQL Server error logs to determine the actual state (it's not reported to the client for security reasons.) See here for details.
