Hi

I'm trying to configure 3.5 to use Windows Authentication (had it working on version 3.1). The SQL database is on a different server to the web server. This used to work,
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
<compilation debug="true"/>
</system.web>
<appSettings>
<add key="MM_CONNECTION_HANDLER_Lansweeper" value="sqlserver.htm"/>
<add key="MM_CONNECTION_STRING_Lansweeper" value="Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=mrsdoyle;Initial Catalog=Lansweeper"/>
<add key="MM_CONNECTION_DATABASETYPE_Lansweeper" value="SQLServer"/>
<add key="MM_CONNECTION_SCHEMA_Lansweeper" value=""/>
<add key="MM_CONNECTION_CATALOG_Lansweeper" value=""/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>

We only have 1 web site running on the web server, PC clients can attach to the database ok. We are using Windows Integrated security on the website but get the following error,


System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database "lansweeperdb" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'.
at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPool.GetConnection(DbConnection owningObject)
at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionFactory.GetConnection(DbConnection owningConnection)
at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionClosed.OpenConnection(DbConnection outerConnection, DbConnectionFactory connectionFactory)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open()

thanks

Give the 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE' account access to the database, or run the website using another account and give this account access to the DB
