FreeTDS无法通过SQL Server Express 2016进行身份验证

Question

This is a bizarre one I spent most of yesterday on.

I have a PC. It has SQL Server Express running successfully on a fresh, clean Windows 8.1. SSMS and all the Windows tools work fine. I've even talked to it via ODBC with perl and restored a backup so I have data.

I have a VMWare VM running Ubuntu 16. It has FreeTDS installed on it. I can telnet to port 1433 on the PC side happily.

I have a recent FreeTDS (v1.00.9) compiled and installed. My ~/.freetds.conf simply has:

[global]
        dump file = /tmp/freetds1.log
[lsql]
        host = 192.168.1.107
        port = 1433
        tds version = 8.0

Doing a:

TDSVER=7.1 tsql -H 192.168.1.107 -p 1433 -U daveh -P password -I ~/.freetds.conf 

(Or 8.0, which I've seen used) gives me:

locale is "en_US.UTF-8"
locale charset is "UTF-8"
using default charset "UTF-8"
Msg 18452 (severity 14, state 1) from WINDOWS-AECP4ER\SQLEXPRESS Line 1:
    "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication."
Error 20002 (severity 9):
    Adaptive Server connection failed
There was a problem connecting to the server

I've tried this with my Windows user and SQL Server users with the same result. I've played around with the SQL Server user permissions to no avail.

What am I mising?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Turns out I needed a SQL Server login.

Created one and it's fine. On to ODBC now.
