It should indicate that the tests worked successfully. button to ensure that a connection can be made. Choose the defaults in the next three steps of the wizard, until you get to the final confirmation dialog and see the "Test Data Source." button.

Select the SQL Server driver and click Finish.Select the System DSN tab and click Add.Note: Its name may be "ODBC", "ODBC Data Source Administrator", or other similar names. Bring up the ODBC administrator dialog: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > ODBC.To set up the system DSN, do the following: A "system DSN" is a specification that supplies connection parameters that this client machine will use when connecting to a specific SQL Server host. To do that, go to each client machine and define an ODBC System DSN. Next, you will need to configure each ClearQuest client workstation to use TCP/IP for its SQL Server connections. Test out the connection on a ClearQuest client, and proceed with these instructions if connection errors persist.Ĭonfigure each ClearQuest client to use TCP/IP for its SQL Server connections Note: At this point, depending on network configuration, you might be able to connect to the databases. Alternatively, you can select a different port and remember it for use with the client-side procedure documented below. On the IP Addresses tab, enure that the port number for the applicable IP address is 1433.Enable TCP/IP if it is not already enabled.Expand the SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration option, and select Protocols for MSSQLSERVER.Bring up the "SQL Server Configuration Manager", under Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Configuration Tools.On the General tab, if TCP/IP does not already appear in the Enabled Protocols box, select it and click Enable >.Bring up the "Server Network Utility", under Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server.On the General tab, if TCP/IP does not already appear, click Add.Bring up the "Server Network Utility", under Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 7.0.On the SQL Server, configure the server to support TCP/IP instead of, or in addition to, named pipes. If the previous solutions are not feasible, or are not allowed under your company security policy, then named pipes cannot be the sole network protocol for SQL Server. This approach is also simply in application (and has no administrative implications like the duplicate-userid's workaround above,) it may not be consistent with your company security requirements. The trust relationship effectively makes all the users defined in the "trusted" domain visible and valid in the "trusting" domain (the SQL Server's domain).

Then, when SQL Server using named pipes to authenticate, the it succeeds.Īlthough this approach is simple to implement, it is not a good solution for large networks with large numbers of users, as it requires that all userid/password maintenance be done twice, once in each Microsoft Windows domain.Īnother solution is to set up a "domain trust" relationship so the domain the SQL Server "trusts" the domain that the requesting user is defined in. One workaround is to create a user ID in the server's Microsoft Windows domain with the same user name and password as the requesting user ID. There are several ways to workaround this problem: Configure User Access to the same Domain as SQL ServerĬonfiguring the SQL Server connection for TCP/IPĬonfigure each ClearQuest to use TCP/IP for its SQL Server connections
