sp_addapprole

  • Can I use approle from my ASP application if our SQL Server is configured as "Windows Authentication Mode" only?

    If I want the user to connect to SQL Server using approle

    what is my VB/ASP code? Do I have to provide "...User ID=xxx;password=xxx;"

    in my connection string?

  • That's the confusing thing about application roles - they aren't use to connect to SQL Server. You first connect with some other valid login, then once connected, you activate the application role by executing the sp_setapprole stored procedure. Now, only the permissions assigned to the app role are active for the life of the connection.
