"Login failed for user ''''(null)''''. Reason: Not associated with..

  • Trying to migrate Test Director 8 to Quality Centre 9 in MSSQL but failing miserably.

    Both DB servers are SQL auth, both servers are mixed connectivity and both are connecting with the sa user.   I've included Trusted_Connection=true to the connect string but if I try to ping or connect I get the above error.

    I can connect to QC9 from TD8 using MSDE.   This is slowly driving me nuts.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • adding Trusted_Connection=true  means it needs to be windows authenticated.

    Second, connecting as sa is a very serious security risc. I hope sa has a password.

  • The SA account is not a Windows Account so it's also not a Trusted Account. Trusted accounts are Windows logins that are authenticated by a domain controller that the SQL Server also uses.

  • Thanks for your help guys and gals.  Removed the trusted connection bit and I'm in, although I'm sure I tried that earlier!   Of course, now I'm getting permission errors but at least its a step ahead.  jeez, this a a long-drawn affair.
