Change of password


Passwords to databases are encrypted, so it's not possible to simply show the ones in use.

For new password to MSSQL database can be asked by authorized request

 


How can I fill database with data?


The database can be accessed through web administration or by remote access

For connection to MSSQL database you can also use ASP script (example):

name of database server "msdb.domena.cz"  *)
name of database "databasename"
user "username"
password "passwordxxx":

ConnString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=msdb.domain.cz;Database=jmenodatabaze;User Id=username;Password=passxxx;"
Set Conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.open ConnString
SQL = "SELECT * FROM tabulka WHERE id=1" Set RS = Conn.Execute(SQL,,1)

This string is used for example by applications installed through Webmatrix, web.config contains connection:

<connectionStrings>

<clear/>

<add name="CMSConnectionString" connectionString="Persist Security Info=False;database=databasename;server=msdb.domain.cz;
user id=username;password=password;Current Language=English;Connection Timeout=240;"/>

 </connectionStrings>
NOTE: Database can be used only for services ordered at company Active24.

If you don´t have A DNS record "msdb.domain.com", use the name of your database server, the name was sent to you when the service was created, e.g. cartman.globenet.cz etc.

Remote access to database - adding IP address 
 

If you plan to manage database from your own computer remotely and not by web administration, it's necessary to allow your IP address at your chosen MSSQL, which has to be public (static). This requirement ensures the proper functioning of the database connection. 

The assignment of IP addresses to MSSQL database, you can apply through an authorized request.
