Hi James

I am able to connect to the sql server from the linux command prompt
. I don't have the write permission on the "freetds.conf" file ,so I
created ".freetds.conf" in my home directory and inserted the sqlserver
parameter like
[LCYD2SQLONX1]
host=LCYD2SQLONX1.corp.xxx.com
port=3531
tds version=7.0

and used this in my prog , When I run my prog I am getting like this

DBI connect('server=LCYD2SQLONX1','ibia_ir',...) failed: OpenClient
message: LAYER = (6) ORIGIN = (8) SEVERITY = (5) NUMBER = (3)
Message String: ct_connect(): directory service layer: internal
directory control layer error: Requested server name not found.
at sql.pl line 10

Do I need to add this in the freetds.conf

Thanks,
Prasanna

Hi Prasanna,

When you use the -P option, you must provide the password as an
argument,
e.g.:

$ tsql -S$S -U$U -P$P
locale is "C"
locale charset is "646"

Perhaps you're doing that, but your description above doesn't show it.
(It's always a good idea to capture the whole command line and output
verbatim. It avoids subtle oversights like that.)

Other than that, what you're doing looks good. Your log shows your
server is responding (as predicted). It's simply rejecting the
username+password pair you're providing. I have no doubt FreeTDS is
sending a proper login packet, because the server accepts the packet and
rejects the login.

If you want further verification, you can use TDS version 4.2 instead;
the log will show the login packet, including the password.

You should be able to use the same account with Microsoft's ISQL/OSQL
utilities. They won't use your domain login (if any) without explicit
direction. Make sure your Win32 box is set to use TCP/IP for its
connection to your server.

HTH.
