How to fix a Broken Login in Sage 100 Contractor SQL
Description
Cause

This can happen when a company is backed up then restored to a different SQL Server instance on another machine or a different SQL instance on the same machine. The user name in the database is no longer a SQL login for that server or instance.

Resolution
Note: If this happens on multiple databases, fix all the passwords in one database, then an admin will need to log into the additional databases and load the 7-2-2 window and that will fix all the log ins.

For SQL authenticated users, repair the Broken Login by following these steps:

  1. Log into the Sage 100 Contractor company with Administrator rights (check the box for "Open company with Administrator rights")
  2. Open menu 7-2-2 User List
  3. Make note of any SQL user name containing a Yes in the column Broken Login. Note: For SQL authenticated users, the column Integrated Security will = No.
  4. For the SQL-authenticated user who is unable to login, retype their password in the Password column and save the user list.
  5. Ask the user to close and reopen Sage 100 Contractor SQL. The User will now have the ability to log into the company database using their SQL authenticated user name and password.

If the user is using Windows authentication and has a Broken Login, do the following:

  1. Log into Sage 100 Contractor company with Administrator rights (check the box for "Open company with Administrator rights")
  2. Open menu 7-2-2 User List.
  3. Make note of any Windows authenticated user containing a Yes in the column Broken Login. Note: For Windows authenticated users, the column Integrated Security will = Yes.
  4. Highlight the user row.
  5. Right-click on the highlighted row, and select Cut row. Click Save.
  6. Reopen 7-2-2 User List and click on the first empty row in the User Name column. Important: Do not insert a row to add a user. Always add a new user login at the bottom of the table. When you save the new entry, it will be saved alphabetically. Inserting a row may cause corruption with the user login.
  7. In the Name field, re-enter the Windows authenticated user name (i.e. Domain name\username). Assign the required Security Groups to the user. Click Save.
  8. Ask the user to close and reopen Sage 100 Contractor SQL. The User will now have the ability to login into the company database using their Windows authenticated user name.
