Question

I am trying to set a JDBC connection to Sql Server 2008. I have created a database in Sql Server with this information:

CREATE LOGIN xtest WITH PASSWORD = 'berenjenas7(((';  
GO  
CREATE USER samxtest FOR LOGIN xtest;  
GO  
GRANT SELECT TO samxtest;
GO  
GRANT INSERT TO samxtest;
GO  
GRANT UPDATE TO samxtest;
GO  
GRANT DELETE TO samxtest;
GO 

I installed the JDBC driver from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11774
and I used the connectURL class from this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa342339.aspx
in order to test the connection.

I left the default port 1433 in the code. The following picture should be proof that this is really the port:

And of course I changed the connection string to:

String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=XTest;user=samxtest;password=berenjenas7(((";

I don’t understand what is wrong?
The error I get is:

com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Login failed for user

Misread:

Make sure that Authentication Mode of the SQL server “Mixed Mode (Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication)”.

Run following script to change the authentication

LOGIN xtest ENABLE

ALTER LOGIN samxtest WITH PASSWORD = 'password'
