Failed Logins

I am installing a new version of mojoPortal.  Even though I have installed mojoPortal before, I have always used Windows Authentication for my login. However, I want to use SQL Server Authentication this time  

I followed the instructions in the video entitled Dev Series 1 mojoPortal Source Code Overview Part 1 on YouTube.  I keep getting the Failed Login response.

Here is my connection string in user.config:

<add key="MSSQLConnectionString" value="Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=MyGreatDatabase;UID=MyGreatLogin;PWD=1234567;" />

I followed the instruction in the YouTube video exactly. But, still I get:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Login failed for user 'MyGreatLogin'

Re: Failed Logins

One thing I need to add.  If I change the connection string to:

<add key="MSSQLConnectionString" value="Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=MyGreatDatabase;Integrated Security=True;" />

then it works.

Re: Failed Logins

In order to use SQL Authentication you need to configure your sql server installation to support Mixed Mode authentication so it can use either SQL auth or Windows auth, if you don't know how to do that do some googling. Once that is done you need to make sure you create a sql user that is dbo on your mojoPortal database and then use that user and password.

Hope that helps,

Joe
