I have used windows NT authentication for my ODBC connection to a SQL server with no problem. Now for many reasons, i would like to create logins or users so that i can control what permissions each individual has. the steps i have taken so far are:
create a new login on my SQL database with rights to read/write to the appropriate database and specified a password. it looks like the management studio auto created a user with the same name.
Now when i go to alter the ODBC connection from NT windows auth. to SQL server auth., I type in the login name and password i set up and receive the following error:
Connection failed:
SQLState: '28000'
SQL Server Error: 18456
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Driver][SQL Server] login failed for user 'username'.
I must be setting the login/user up wrong, is there some setting im missing to allow the connection? Thanks for the help in advance.
