BizTalk WCF-SQL Error: Microsoft.ServiceModel.Channels.Common.ConnectionException: Cannot open database “Database-Name” requested by the login. The login failed

To finalize, maybe, these series of Errors and Warnings… Causes and Solutions let’s describe and address a fairly simple one that from time to time appears: Login Failed. While trying to communicate to a SQL Server database to invoke a stored procedure thru BizTalk WCF-SQL adapter I got this following error:

A message sent to adapter “WCF-Custom” on send port “STAGING_SQL_WCF_SEND” with URI “mssql://SQL-SERVER-NAME//AsyncTransactions?InboundId=ins” is suspended.

Login Failed: Cannot open database requested by the login

Cause

The cause of the problem is quite obvious and the error message, this time because sometimes is not quite true like we saw in my last post, the error message clearly identifies the origin of the problem.

This problem occurs because the user account that you used to access the database, in my case the BizTalk Host Instance Account, don’t have permissions to connect the database.

Solution

Simple problem, simple solution. You need to grant permission to the user to access database

  • In SQL Server Management Studio, open Object Explorer and expand it to the database that you want to give access
  • Right-click on the Security folder, select “New”, and then click “User”.
  • On the General page, enter username and login in the Login name box.
  • And depending on what you want to do, you may configure the Database role memberships like “db_datareader” or/and “db_datawriter
  • Or, on the Securables page, under Securables, click on the “Search” button.
    • On the “Add Objects” window, select “Specific objects…” and click “OK” and choose the object type, it can be:
      • Give access to a specific database like “Connect
      • Give access only to certain tables of the database like read and write
      • Execute stored procedures
      • And so on.
Login Failed: Select Object types
  • After you select the objects, on the Securables page, you need to give proper permissions, in this case, grant “Connect” to the database
Login Failed: connect database granted
  • Click OK.

Once again, given “sysadmin” or “db_owner” would solve all our problems but it goes against security best practices and sometimes these tables contain sensitive data or personal data, and nowadays with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in EU this sometimes can be a backdoor for other possible problems and teams need to start taking into considerations these security policies.

You always should give the minimum rights to a certain user for him to do the necessary tasks. Nothing more, nothing less… as things should be.

  1. Have you encountered this error before with BT 2010 connecting to SQL Server 2017? I am having the DBAs, check the setting in this article too about “connect”. But still wanted to see if you have any advice or instruction for this issue?

    The Messaging Engine failed to add a receive location “XXXXXXXXXs_WCF-Custom” with URL “mssql://XXXX_btc//EBXXXX?InboundId=UnsentAuthorizations” to the adapter “WCF-Custom”. Reason: “Microsoft.ServiceModel.Channels.Common.ConnectionException: A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 – One or more of the parameters passed to the function was invalid.) —> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process.
