Hi,
This may already be a known problem, but I figured I'd post it here in
case anyone else has the same problem.
I was trying to use the latest stable version of FreeTDS (v0.63) to
connect to SQL Server 2000, using domain logins. I had configured it as
it should be - I had run "./configure --with-tdsver=8.0", I had
unblocked the port on the Windows Firewall, I'd set the server to Mixed
Mode authentication, etc.
And for some reason I couldn't figure out, sometimes it seemed to work
and accept my domain login, and other times it wouldn't. It would always
work with normal logins though.
It turns out that this is due to a potential problem in "make install".
I had tried using tsql both before and after the install, see, and it
turned out only to work before the "make install" command. This is
because before the install, tsql was using the protocol version that I
specified in the configure command - 8.0 - which supports domain logins.
However, after the install, it was reading the newly-installed
/usr/local/etc/freetds.conf file and finding the global TDS protocol
setting there, which had been set to "4.2", despite the setting I gave
to configure. As a result, it was trying to use the domain login name on
a protocol that doesn't support domain logins, and it failed.
This foxed me for a while, so I want to make sure people know about the
problem, and its solution. :D Perhaps configure should update the
freetds.conf file with the protocol version you specify?
Thanks,
- Ciaran.
