Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.

  • Hello Experts,

    Many a times see the below error in SQL Error log.

    Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: ]

    Is this something to do here?

    Note: If I run the below statement I know that the SQL Error log entry will go off, but wanted to know the real significance of this error?

    CREATE LOGIN [NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON] FROM WINDOWS

    Thanks

    Thanks.

    First guess on how this happens would be a second hop in a connection chain without Kerberos, i.e.

    😎 --(1st.)-->[Srv#1]--(2nd.)-->[Srv#2]

    Note: If I run the below statement I know that the SQL Error log entry will go off, but wanted to know the real significance of this error?

    CREATE LOGIN [NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON] FROM WINDOWS

    Not certain what you're trying to achieve with this, why create anonymous login? Try rather to trace the origin of the login.
