Restrict user to use Query Analyzer for myserver

  • We are running SQL 2005.

    I want to restrict the user so they connect the SQL server only through some specific application (e.g. vb.net application), they should not able to register this server on another system.

    I already untick the "allow remote connection" from Server Properties --> Connection.

  • Have a look at Application Roles in books online. These should allow you to control what applications are connecting through.

  • Hello,

    Would it be possible to create a Login just for the application i.e. do not grant any access to the SQL Server to the “real” user accounts?

    From what I understand of Application Roles, the users would still need to be granted access to the SQL Server, as the switch to an Application Role occurs after the connection - or am I mistaken?
