TaskVision and integrated db security...
We had to re-install TaskVision today. It
had been living on an R & D machine that recently bit the dust. Since it was
being used quite a bit when it went down, we decided to place the db on our
production db server and the web services on a .NET server so that we would have
max uptime, automatic backup, etc. Didn't think it would be a probem until I
tried to log it. No dice, just threw back some vague error message about
contacting the network admin. However, I could login to the webservice via a web
browser. Weird. Anyway, it turns out that since we didn't use integrated
security like the default connection string, the db password wasn't passed beyond the first
request. I don't know how long it would
have taken me to figure that out had it not been for the Windows
Forms Forums.
Is it just me or does it seem like there is much
stronger feeling of community and a greater amount help from the community than
with ASP 3.0? Whatever it is, it sure is
great.
