使用新用户登录名连接到SQL Server 2008时出现登录错误

Question

I installed a SQL Server 2008 database server and created a user. But when I try to login for the same user through SQL Authentication I get this error:

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)

PS : I have already SQL Server authentication through properties. Please guide. I am trying to connect through SQL Server Management Studio.

Answer 1

I was able to achieve above mention in the post by performing the below activities.

Firstly

1. When you open the management studio , Right click on the server and click on the properties . In the security section by default only windows authentication is on, make sure SQL Authentication is also on clicking the radio button which has the option to enable both Windows and SQL Authentication.

2. Go to Configuration Tools --> SQL Server Configuration Manager . Check the protocols . The ordering should be

   (i) Shared Memory(Enabled)

   (ii) TCP/IP(Enabled)

   (iii) Named Pipes(Enabled)

Restart the SQL Server Services Instance

Restart your machine.

And it should work fine.
