SQL Bulk Insert - Access is denied (Error Code 5)

Question

Ok, one physical server running Hyper-V. One VM is for the SQL 2016 DB. Another VM is for the web based application that talks to the DB. A third VM that is used as the file server. All files are stored on the file server.

The file location that needs to be bulk inserted is shared with the DB Service Accounts (currently set to specifically made domain accounts - one for each service).

The file can't be imported - access is denied. I've tried setting the share to Everyone - still doesn't work. I even changed the Security Policy to allow Anonymous users the same permissions as Everyone - still doesn't work.

I don't know how to go about this Delegation method so not sure what to do there.

What else can I do to get a simple file to import into a DB?

Answer 1

Have you enabled kerberos? If the connection is coming in as Anonymous, dosent it mean that the connection is using NTLM and its a double hop issue?
