PRB: SAF Does Not Allow Numeric Login IDs and Passwords

ID Number: Q72805

1.10 1.11

OS/2

Summary:

SYMPTOMS

The SAF "Admin Manage Login IDs" menu option does not allow the

user to enter a numeric login ID or password.

CAUSE

The Add Login ID dialog box was designed to accept only valid SQL

Server identifiers. However, the sp_addlogin stored procedure

incorrectly accepts both numeric login IDs and passwords.

RESOLUTION

Entering numeric login IDs and passwords with sp_addlogin on SQL

Server versions 1.1 and 1.11 is not recommended because it is

neither an expected nor desired behavior. Furthermore, SQL Server

version 4.2 does not sp_addlogin to add numeric identifiers.
