[CLOSED] Connecting to MS SQL Server 2008 R2 - Login failed for user
Before installing the SSAS 2008 R2 adapter my SQL Server 2008 R2 connection worked fine.
Reporting Server 8.0.06 loses access to SSAS cubes

Now, I'm getting the following error:

(FOC1400) SQLCODE IS 18456 (HEX: 00004818) XOPEN: 42000
: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server: [42000] Login failed for user
: 'ADS\machine-name$'.
(FOC1405) SQL PREPARE ERROR.

I also found out that when I start the report server with security off, I could connect to the DB.

I'm using report server trusted security with WFRS. I followed instructions on the WebFocus security and administration.

Any suggestions?

We have ours set to 'EXPLICIT' on the Adpater using a common User/Pass which is entered below. That User is also setup in MSSQL Server Security. In Access Control (WFRS), we have trust_ext = 'y' and trust_nt = 'n'.

If I understand correctly, you have 'Trusted/Pass' on the Client Server and 'Trusted' on the WFRS MSSQL Adpater? When you Test this Adapter connection, you receive the error you noted?

Yes exactly, I have trusted/pass on the Client Server and trusted on the WFRS SQL Adapter.

The problem is that either selection Trusted/Pass thru/Explicit - getting the same error.

With Trusted I get login failed for user (machine name)
With pass thru/explicit I get login failed for my user ID.
