I am trying to install DotNetNuke CMS. I created a database in my Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008, which I installed after installing Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. I created a login for it and a password but I am not able to log in.
It is giving me SQL login failed 18456. I have tried the post that exist in this site and many different sites but I am not able to log in.
Do I need to update to SQL Server 2008?
Firstly you need to change the type of login to allow sql security login (otherwise you have to start messing with Domain user accounts).
To do this go to servername –> right click ‘properties’ –> go to security tab on left hand side –> choose ‘Sql Server and Windows Authentication mode’
Then…..
To set up users you need to set them up:
1) as a login
2) as a user in the database.
To do this go to server name (in Management Studio) –> security –> logins then right click ‘new login’.
Then go to databases –> your db –> security –> users –> add user.
Then you just need to add the user selecting the elipses and adding the user you just created above.
