Re: OK - I'm stupid....How do you create a user?

Login failed for user stoelle

You're almost there. Because the login you created is a local account and
not a Windows login, you'll need to change the authentication mode SQL
Server uses from "Windows Authentication" to "SQL Server and Windows
Authentication". This topic describes how to do this:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188670.aspx.

By default SQL Server uses Windows Authentication and it is considered a
best practice recommendation because it is more secure. In addition, you
should always use strong passwords for your logins. For more information
about authentication modes and strong passwords, see this topic:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144284.aspx.

I'm assuming you're learning/experimenting, which is great. When you're
ready to set up a production system with real users, you should use only
Windows authentication mode if at all possible.

The command completes successfully. I can see the user and the login.
But I can't login as the user. What else do I need to do?

What error message do you get?

OK. I'm doing something wrong. I execute the following statements:


use mktg
go
create login stoelle with password = 'sharon'
go
create user stoelle for login stoelle
go
grant select on referrals to stoelle
go
grant delete on referrals to stoelle
go
grant update on referrals to stoelle
go
grant insert on referrals to stoelle
go


The command completes successfully. I can see the user and the login.
But I can't login as the user. What else do I need to do?

TIA - Jeff.

OK - I'm stupid. How do you create a user? I've gone through the steps
of creating the user for the server, then create the user for the db
but the user cannot login.

Can somebody point me towards a web page/article that will tell me how
to do this?

TIA - Jeff.
