Connecting to AS400

[DutchDude]

I want to connect my Asp.Net C# Application to a AS/400 database. When i try to connect database it gives me an error message : Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E4D)[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.Does anyone know what causes this issue and how to fix it?Any help will be extremely appreciated.

Make sure to include the Trusted_Connection=yes connection string parameter in the ADO connection string. If you do not include this parameter, the above-mentioned error occurs even if the Windows NT/Windows 2000 user account that is used to process the request for the ASP page has a corresponding Windows authentication login in SQL Server.

Make sure to specify the UID and the PWD connection string parameters if you want to use standard SQL Server authentication to establish a database connection. You must specify these parameters even if the configuration properties of the DSN are set to use standard SQL Server authentication. If you fail to specify these parameters, IIS tries to open a trusted connection to the database.

Try this instead:

oConn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;" & _

"Data Source=myServerName;" & _

"Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;" & _

"User Id=myUsername;" & _

"Password=myPassword"

To use standard SQL Server authentication to establish a connection, it is essential that you configure the security settings on the target SQL Server to permit Mixed mode (NT and SQL Server) authentication. If you specify a valid UID and omit the PWD parameter in the connection string, when the specified User ID contains a non-blank password, you receive the following error

message:Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E4D)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user <SQL Server User Id specified in the connection string>.
