Authentication methods for connections to SQL Server in Active Server Pages

Symptoms
Both SQL Server authentication (standard security) and Windows NT authentication (integrated security) are SQL Server authentication methods that are used to access a SQL Server database from Active Server Pages (ASP).
Note This article does not apply to Microsoft Windows 2000 Active Directory domains. The Microsoft Windows NT authentication model that is discussed in this article only applies to Windows NT domains.
Resolution
SQL Server authentication SQL Server authentication relies on the internal user list maintained by the SQL Server computer. This list does not include Windows NT users, and is specific to the SQL Server computer. Users are created and configured using the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. To use this authentication method, perform with the following steps: If you connect through Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), in the ODBC Administrator, choose SQL Server authentication when you configure the data source.In the ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) connection string, include the parameters “UID” and “PWD” when you use ODBC, and “User ID” and “Password” when you use the SQLOLEDB provider. Windows NT authentication The computer running SQL Server enables access to its data through Windows NT accounts. To enable Windows NT authentication, through the Internet Information Server (IIS) computer, Basic authentication must be enabled for the Web application. To do this, perform the following: Start the Internet Services Manager. Browse to the Web site, right-click the Web site, and then click Properties.Click the Directory Security tab, click Edit under Anonymous access and authentication control, and then select the Basic authentication (password is sent in clear text) option. To configure IIS for Windows NT authentication, you cannot use Windows NT Challenge\Response (NTLM) authentication. You must use one of the following two IIS authentication methods: Enable only Basic authentication for the Web application. If users are allowed anonymous access, verify the following: If the user is configured as the Anonymous user in IIS, they must also be configured in a Windows NT account on the computer running SQL Server. If SQL Server and IIS are not on the same computer, create the user as either a domain account accessible to both computers or locally on both the SQL Server computer and the IIS computer with the same password. If you create the user locally on both computers, the user must be given the Log on Locally right on the SQL Server computer. If the user is a domain account, the user must be given “Access this computer from the network” right on the SQL Server computer. If SQL Server and IIS are not on the same computer, then start the Internet Services Manager (on the Directory Security property page for the Web application), open the Anonymous User Account dialog box, disable the Enable Automatic Password Synchronization option, and then manually enter the password for the account.The IIS computer requires the user’s password to generate a security token that remains valid on another server. When the Enable Automatic Password Synchronization option is enabled, a token can only be generated for the local computer.If IIS and SQL Server are on the same computer, the name of the SQL Server data source in the connection string and in the ODBC configuration data source (if applicable) is local. In addition, perform the following steps to connect to a SQL Server computer using Windows NT authentication in ASP: If you connect through ODBC, in the ODBC Administrator, choose Windows NT authentication when you configure the data source.In the ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) connection string, omit the parameters “UID” and “PWD” when you use ODBC, and “User ID” and “Password” when you use the SQLOLEDB provider. If you connect using the OLEDB provider for SQL Server (Provider=SQLOLEDB), the connection string must include “Integrated Security=SSPI.”In the SQL Server Enterprise Manager, add all Windows NT accounts and groups that need access through the integrated security to the logins, and define them as using Windows NT authentication. To simplify administration, Microsoft recommends that you add Windows NT groups instead of individual accounts. Configure permissions to all necessary databases, tables, and stored procedures when you define the account(s). The following error messages indicate problems with the SQL Server configuration for Windows NT authentication:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E4D)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user ‘\’.
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error ’80040e4d’
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user ‘NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON’.

A heavily fragmented file in an NTFS volume may not grow beyond a certain size

Symptoms
A heavily fragmented file in an NTFS file system volume may not grow beyond a certain size caused by an implementation limit in structures that are used to describe the allocations.
In this scenario, you may experience one of the following issues:When you try to copy a file to a new location, you receive the following error message:
In Windows Vista or in later versions of Windows

The requested operation could not be completed due to a file system limitation
In versions of Windows that are earlier than Windows Vista

insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested serviceWhen you try to write to a sparse file from the Application log, Microsoft SQL Server may log an event that resembles the following:
In Windows Vista or in later versions of Windows
Event Type: Information
Event Source: MSSQLSERVER
Description:…
665(The requested operation could not be completed due to a file system limitation.) to SQL Server during write at 0x000024c8190000,in filename…
In versions of Windows that are earlier than Windows Vista
Event Type: Information
Event Source: MSSQLSERVER
Description:…
1450(Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.) to SQL Server during write at 0x000024c8190000, in file with handle 0000000000000FE8 …
Resolution
When a file is very fragmented, NTFS uses more space to save the description of the allocations that is associated with the fragments. The allocation information is stored in one or more file records. When the allocation information is stored inmultiple file records, another structure, known as the ATTRIBUTE_LIST, stores information about those file records. The number of ATTRIBUTE_LIST_ENTRY structures that the file can have is limited.
We cannot give an exact file size limit for a compressed or a highly fragmented file. An estimate would depend on using certain average sizes to describe the structures. These, in turn, determine how many structures fit in other structures.If the level of fragmentation is high, the limit is reached earlier. When this limit is reached, you receive the following error message:
Windows Vista or later versions of Windows

STATUS_FILE_SYSTEM_LIMITATION The requested operation could not be completed due to a file system limitationVersions of Windows that are earlier than Windows Vista

STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested serviceCompressed files are more likely to reach the limit because of the way the files are stored on disk. Compressed files require more extents to describe their layout. Also, decompressing and compressing a file increases fragmentation significantly. The limit can be reached whenwrite operationsoccur to an already compressed chunk location. The limit can also be reachedby a sparse file. This size limit is usuallybetween 40 gigabytes (GB) and 90 GB for a very fragmented file.

Tips On Choosing The Latest Mobile Handsets

For many people, every 18 months to leave them with a difficult decision, mainly because you will choose a project, you will be spending a day contract duration. So, where to start?

Many aesthetics when making their choice, iPhone, in a broad range of specifications options, because it brings the beauty and simplicity, it is very popular, and therefore has the greatest role.

Although the other choice that comes to mind when choosing a new handset is the availability of apps, currently Apple is leading the way with approximately 350,000+ and Android comes a close second with 250,000+. In the near future you can expect Blackberry and Windows 7 apps to greatly increase and create a much larger portfolio than the current 10-20,000+ that exist for both today. Even so all the ‘major’ apps such as Angry Birds will be available to all four. The main selling point for the Android apps is because their open source and for many people this is important, as apps can be developed by a much more wide and varied group of people.

If applications are not looking, what you, but a mobile phone that can offer more than just a phone, for example, most phones today often with a minimum of 8 GB memory card enables storage that was not available to come just a few years ago. This means you can upload all your MP3 and save yourself an MP3 player to carry around with your phone. Sony Ericsson offer
Although this sounds great and you can’t wait to go out and buy or instantly order your new phone now there is a few things to take into account before choosing the first handset that catches your eye. Firstly, because the handsets are becoming more and more expensive, the monthly contract prices have crept up and now sit at 24 months for many of the newly introduced Androids and iPhone. Using the iPhone as an example you can clearly see the difference when choosing an 18 month contract to the 24 month contract, regardless of the plan. With similar minutes and call time an 18 month contract that costs ?35 per month with the additional one off payment of ?230 for the handset. The 24 month contract at ?35 also, will mean the handset only costs ?99. Although this is en extreme because it’s the top range iPhone at a large monthly allowance it can clearly show at what it could cost if not looking at all the available options.

There with many alternatives, there are a lot of low-end options, can offer the high requirements. Just as HTC and Samsung others that are on offer, but still a wide range of applications and full touch screen. Go could allow this path to the handset as a purchase pay-as-you-go cell phones instead of paying monthly and contracts and can from 50 € Start and then choose to agree on a contract, the rolling month per month and offers flexibility and compete very attractive monthly rates.
So, please remember that just as you weigh all the options
