IIS to SQL Server kerberos auth issues
- by crosan
We have a 3rd party product that allows some of our users to manipulate data in a database (on what we'll call SvrSQL) via a website on a separate server (SvrWeb).
On SvrWeb, we have a specific, non-default website setup for this application so instead of going to http://SvrWeb.company.com to get to the website we use http://application.company.com which resolves to SvrWeb and the host headers resolve to the correct website.
There is also a specific application pool set up for this site which uses an Active Directory account identity we'll call "company\SrvWeb_iis". We're setup to allow delegation on this account and to allow it to impersonate another login which we want it to do. (we want this account to pass along the AD credentials of the person signed into the website to SQL Server instead of a service account.
We also set up the SPNs for the SrvWeb_iis account via the following command:
setspn -A HTTP/SrvWeb.company.com SrvWeb_iis
The website pulls up, but the section of the website that makes the call to the database returns the message:
Cannot execute database query.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
I thought we had the SPN information set up correctly, but when I check the security event log on SrvWeb I see entries of my logging in, but it seems to be using NTLM and not kerberos:
Logon Type: 3
Logon Process: NtLmSsp
Authentication Package: NTLM
Any ideas or articles that cover this setup in detail would be extremely appreciated!
If it helps, we are using SQL Server 2005, and both the web and SQL servers are Windows 2003.
