BUG: ISQL Fails with Mixed Security from a Trusted Domain User

 Last reviewed: April 29, 1997
Article ID: Q113245

The information in this article applies to: 

  - Microsoft SQL Server Programmer's Toolkit, version 4.2
BUG# 9937 (4.2)

SYMPTOMS

When under mixed mode security from a trusted domain account when null is passed for the user name and password, ISQL fails with error: 

   4002 'Login Failed'
This works fine if the SQL Server is installed under straight integrated security. Also, ISQL/W works fine even if null is passed for the user name and password under mixed or integrated security modes.

WORKAROUND

Issue ISQL with the user name and password supplied. The user name must include the trusted domain name separated with the separator mapping character ('_' by default).

For example, to log into the server 'tstsrvr' using the user name 'test' from the domain 'tstdomain': 

   ISQL /Stestsrvr /Utstdomain_test /Ptest

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 4.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
