Troubleshooting Error 18456 I think we've all dealt with error 18456, whether it be an login failed error 18456 sql server 2008 r2 application unable to access SQL Server, credentials changing over time, or a user who can't type a password correctly. The trick to troubleshooting this error number is that the error message returned to the client or application trying to connect is intentionally login failed error 18456 sql server 2012 vague (the error message is similar for most errors, and the state is always 1). In a few cases, some additional information is included, but for the most part several of these conditions appear the same to the end user. In order to figure out what is really going wrong, you need to have alternative access to the SQL Server and inspect the log for the true state in the error message. I helped our support team just today solve a client's 18456
Error 18456 Login Failed For User Sa
issues - once we tracked down the error log and saw that it was state 16, it was easy to determine that their login had been set up with a default database that had been detached long ago. In SQL Server 2012, there is a new feature called "contained databases" - I've blogged about it here and here. With this feature comes a new layer of security that may creep onto your radar if you use this functionality: contained user authentication failures. There are a variety of things that can go wrong here. If you connect with a contained user but forget to specify a database name, SQL Server will attempt to authorize you as a SQL login, and you will fail with state 5 (if there is no SQL login with that name) or state 8 (if there is also a SQL login with the same name and the password doesn't match). There is also a new state 65 which occurs if you have specified the correct username and contained database, but entered an incorrect password. The way that the authentication process works is, if SQL Server doesn't find your user in the contained database you specifies, it tries again at the server level, then gives up (it won't go check all the other contained databases in case you match there - I hope you agree that this is a good thing). If you don't specify a database in your connection string, then it won't succe

It is very possible that you came across http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/archive/2011/01/14/sql-server-v-next-denali-additional-states-for-error-18456.aspx either one of the flavors of the two error messages shown below: 2016-07-08 23:53:59.63 Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11.2016-07-08 23:53:59.63 Logon Login failed for user ‘IAAS6620137\MyInfraWindowsLogin'.

Reason: Login-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: 10.107.10.43] As you can see there are two flavors here: - The token-based message is generated for the Windows authentication logins - The login-based message is generated for the SQL authentication logins The important piece of information from that message is the part about server access validation failed. So let’s examine that carefully. During the login process, the database engine has to perform several checks regarding the login and its various attributes before letting the application connect to the SQL Server instance. Out of that big list, related to this error condition, there are two checks to find out if this login is authorized to access this server instance. There are two permissions that come into play while performing these aut
