如何为IIS配置SQL Server Express 2017

Question

I have a new install of SQL Server Express 2017 running on Windows Server 2016. IIS 10 cannot access the database on this SQL Server. (No problem from Visual Studio.) What security do I need to configure in SQL Server, IIS, and the file system (.mdf files)? I have researched this for many hours, but cannot find a current solution. I used to be able to solve this by adding NETWORK SERVICE or SYSTEM under NT AUTHORITY, but that doesn't seem to do the trick. Does something have to be done with Application Pools?

From your comments I guess that you should map your login to your database:

use xxx;
create user [WEBBER\s4$] from login [WEBBER\s4$];

This will fix your error but for normal working you should also give the necessary permissions to your user.

If it should have control over database xxx, make him db_owner like this:

ALTER ROLE [db_owner] ADD MEMBER  [WEBBER\s4$];

The "strange" name you see is your pc's name, this is because Network Service or Local System accounts goes to network under the pc name.
