SQL Server account locked out and password did not match?
Hi We have this situation that a SQL Server account has been having two different login failures recently. The errors appear in the SQL Server log without much details. Wonder if any one had encountered the same situation and if it had been resolved? The two different error messages are: 1. Login failed for user 'sql_account_name'.Reason: The account is currently locked out. The system administrator can unlock it. [CLIENT: ip_of_another_computer] 2. Login failed for user 'sql_account_name'. Reason: Password did not match that for the login provided. [CLIENT: <local machine>] Note: I replaced the actual account name and ip with sql_account_name and ip_of_another_computer respectively. I found a query that displays the user account SQL agent jobs run under, but I did not see this SQL account. Also, I checked linked servers, but did not see this account. Furthermore, I checked Windows services of the two computers in the error messages, but I did not see that SQL account. I did look Windows task scheduler, but do not think we can use SQL account as run under for a task. Any idea or insight? ThanksLesson Learned #515:Recommendations for Troubleshooting - Login failed for user 'XXX'. (18456)
During a recent support case, a customer encountered the error: pyodbc.InterfaceError: ('28000', "[28000] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'XXX'. (18456) (SQLDriverConnect); ") using a Python code. Following, I would like to share my lessons learned to fix this issue. The error code 18456 is typically caused by login issues, such as incorrect or missing credentials, rather than connectivity or networking problems. In our investigation, we identified the root cause and suggested recommendations to prevent and resolve similar issues. Root Cause The application was configured to retrieve the database server and host name from environment variables. However: Missing Environment Variables: One or more variables were not set. Default Value Misconfiguration: The code defaulted to a hardcoded value when variables were missing. For example, the server defaulted to "localhost", which was not the intended database server. As a result, the application attempted to connect to an unintended server with incorrect or missing credentials, leading to the Login failed error. Recommendations 1. Validate Environment Variables Always validate critical environment variables like server, username, and password. If a required variable is missing or empty, the application should raise an explicit error or log a clear warning. 2. Avoid Misleading Defaults Use placeholder values, such as "NOT_SET", as defaults for critical variables. This approach ensures that misconfigurations are immediately visible and do not silently fail. 3. Log Connection Details Log critical details like the server and database being accessed. Ensure this information is included in application logs to make troubleshooting easier. Avoid logging sensitive information such as passwords. Python Solution I was thinking how to improve the Python code, implementing a validation of environment variables, handle errors and log critical connection details: import os def get_env_variable(var_name, default_value=None, allow_empty=False): """ Retrieves and validates an environment variable. :param var_name: The name of the environment variable. :param default_value: The default value if the variable is missing. :param allow_empty: If False, raises an error for empty variables. :return: The value of the environment variable or default_value. Example: server = get_env_variable("DB_SERVER", default_value="NOT_SET") """ value = os.getenv(var_name, default_value) if value is None or (not allow_empty and (value.strip() == "" or value.strip() == "NOT_SET" or default_value is None)): raise ValueError(f"Environment variable '{var_name}' is required but not set.") return value

I have been unable to log into the Teams desktop app on macOS 10.14.5 (and for many earlier versions of Mojave). The app starts and asks for my email address. I enter it and it asks to select a certificate. If I either cancel or choose one it still fails. This error is presented at the bottom: desktop-54d39932-dafe-4ca7-b90e-0c959948b078 Error code - 2:-1001 There's a more permanent way to sign in to Microsoft Teams. If you're having trouble completing the process, talk to your IT admin. There is no response from the app when clicking "signing out". If I right click on the dock icon and choose "Sign Out", similarly nothing happens. If it matters, our tenant is in a hybrid environment with our AD on premises.
