Logon failure : (rsInternalError)

On a SQL server 2000 SP4 on XP PRO SP2, I have installed Reporting Services.
I have created an local administrator user and I have given this local
account as "Domain user Account" during installation.
When I try to acces report server, it fails with the message "Logon failure:
unknown user name or bad password. "
In the logfile of Reporting services, I read these informations :
aspnet_wp!library!690!02/03/2006-16:24:09:: i INFO: Call to GetPermissions:/

Can somebody help me to solve this problem ? Thanks for allHi Gaby,
Welcome to the MSDN newsgroup.
From your description, I understand you have installed SQL Server 2000(with
reporting service) on a Windows XP SP2 machine. Also, during the
installation time, you configured the Reporting Service to use a certain
domain account which has been granted the "Local Administrator" role.
However, when you try accessing the report server application, it threw the
following exception:
"Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. " ,correct?
Based on the log file content you provided, the error occured when the
report server try performing some security operations like reading account
info. I've also checked the error and find some reference in MSDN on the
similiar problem. Are you try viewing a report which use external
datasource and use prompted or stored Windows credentials to connect to the
external datasource? If so, you can have a look at the following
troubleshooting article, and the below section
"Connection error, where login failed for <servername>\ASPNET"
is describing the similiar problem as yours.

Thank you for your help but I am sorry to say that your recommendations
didn't work on my PC
I have just installed an SQL Server on my windows XP (SQL server 2000 + SP4)
and the Reporting Services (+ service pack 2). After that, before making any
own report, I have just tried to contact the report server, on this PC, in
an IE5 session with the address : localhost\reports. And then I have received
the error message : logon failed !!
My PC is an "entreprise PC", this a lot of components "masterised" in a
"logically gathered software" and I think that perhaps some authorizations
are not correctly installed for my requirements, but I don't know where I
have to search !!

So the problem is somewhat different from that mentioned in the doc. Since
the error stack shows there is some login fail error and also mentioend the
MACHINE\ASPNET account, I think you can try the followings to see whether
it is concerned with account permission:
1. Change the reporting service windows service's identity from the current
account( the one you specified during setup) to Local System.
2. Temporarlily Add the ASP.NET process account (machine\ASPNET) into
local administrators group or just replace the ASP.NET process account
from "Machine" to "SYSTEM", this can be set in the .net framework's
machine.config(under C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CONFIG)
After that, restart reporting service to see whether it work.

machine.config file of the current version of the framework (in the CONFIG
Folder), and change, in the processModel parameter, the value of the userName
parameter, from "machine" to "SYSTEM".
By stopping and restarting only the reporting service and the IIS server,
this modification don't work but after the "total reboot" of my computer, all
is OK and I can now see the contents of the folder in the Reports Server
Thank you for all (and I hope that our discussion can help other persons)

Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 8 - NEED HELP!!!!

Hi All,

I am getting the following error in the ERRORLOG File when I am
trying to connect to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition 64bit with SP2 from
Reporting Services Configuration tool - Database Setup. The SQL Server
database and reporting services are on 2 different servers. Both are running
2003 SP2 64 bit.

2007-04-12 07:30:05.54 Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State:
8.
2007-04-12 07:30:05.54 Logon Login failed for user 'sa'.
[CLIENT: xx.xx.xx.xx]

I know my password is valid as I can logged into SSMS using SA. I can create
the 2 reportserver databases using the Reporting Services Configuration tool
on the database server. The db server is in MIXED mode.

What am I missing?

Related articles I have followed are:

Login failed for user 'x'
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms366351.aspx

Change Server Authentication Mode
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188670.aspx

Any help to get passed this problem would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time!

Hello,

Can you verify that you have "SQL Server Credentials" selected as the "Credentials Type" in the Database Setup section?

Hope this helps.

Jarret

|||Yes I have "SQL Server Credentials" selected as the "Credentials Type" in the Database Setup section.|||

Can you try to use a Windows account (with administrator privileges) instead of the SQL account?

Jarret

Are you using Vista?

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/windowsvistasupport.mspx

If not, try here:

http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/02/21/536201.aspx

|||On both servers we have Windows 2003 Server 64bit with SP2 applied. I previously visited the second link listed above. All its explains that a State: 8 is a password mismatch. I know I'm entering the password correctly in the Reporting Services Configuration tool. However, I believe when it gets sent to the db server it is missing or encrypted someway that the db server can't decrypt.

Thanks again.
|||

I wasn't sure where you were connecting from, hence the Vista question. In Vista, your admin group token is stripped, and SQL Server might be depending on that membership to get you in.

So where are you connecting from and to? In other words, you say you have two servers, but I'm not sure which one you're connecting from. I want to be sure I have the whole picture.

In the meantime, you can fire up Profiler and see what you're sending across the net to connect. you're correct, in SQL 2K5, the connection info is encrypted, but both sides should know how to deal with that.

Also, I'm sure you've tried this already, but make sure you try a couple of accounts, just in case. Try the sa and a Windows account.

Between all these, you should be able to figure out where the problem is, if not its resolution. Then reply back and we'll see if we can get you closer to the right answer.

|||

State 8 does indeed indicate a password mismatch, so you should check that the password provided to Reporting Services is indeed the correct one. If you are certain that the password is correct, then Reporting Services may not be passing it correctly to SQL Server - please check on the SQL Server Reporting Services forum, to see if this is a known issue.

Thanks

Laurentiu

Logins transfer problem

I have almost 200 SQL Server accounts on a SQL Server 7.0 server(SP2). I need
to transfer these accounts on to an SQL Server 2005 server(SP2). I used
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246133
but it does not transfer the paswords. I know this because when I try to
connect with an account using the password on the old server, it does not
connect.
The only difference between the 2 servers, the old one has the collation of
SQL_Latin1_General_Cp437_BIN
and the new one has
SQL_Latin1_General_Cp1_CI_AS
Any ideas how I can transfer the passwords correctly ?
T.I.ADid you manually run SP_Help_RevLogin stored procedure? If not then you will
need to run the procdedure manually and take the output of that procedure and
execute it against the new SQL Server.
It has always worked for me.

Login problems on Vista before and after SP2

Hi:

I have recently updated my Sony Vaio and installed Windows Vista. After installing I could not access my SQL databases because of the NT Authorisation / sysadmin problem.

I have since installed SQLServer SP2 (Nov CTP) but the problem persists. If I run SQL Management Studio under the administrative account I can login just fine. I have also made sure the 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' is marked for sysadmin access (which it is).

The eror I get is Error 18456.

What else can I do to gain access via Windows Authorisation?

TIA,

MartinH.

Hello Martin,

Are you are logging into the Vista under any domain credentials? If so please add the domain user as the local system administrator and try.

Thanks,

Prakash P [MSFT]

Prakash:

Sorry to be so dense, but I'm not quite sure what you are asking.

I am using Vista on a portable that does not connect to any Domain Server. The locally created user belongs to the Administrators group.

Is this what you meant by 'please add the domain user as the local system administrator'?

Thanks for your reply.

Martin.

|||

Here is a workaround for resolving this issue:

1. Run SSMS “As an Administrator”, by right clicking the SSMS icon and clicking “Run As Administrator” option and select Windows Authentication and login to SQL Server.

2. In the Object Explorer node select the Security node and then select Logins node. Add a new login for your windows account and select Windows Authentication. Also go the Server Roles pane in the same window and select sysadmin role for it.

3. Close SSMS and start it normally and give your domain account and select Windows Authentication and you will not have any issues thereafter.

Rajesh:

That did the trick!!

Thanks very much for your help.

Regards,

Martin.
