Abstract
Often, the best way to prevent an error is to understand why it occurs. In various newsgroups, questions regarding the Crystal Reports LogOnException are asked quite often. A recent Crystal Alliance article discussed how to debug and get rid of this error. This article investigates why these occur, which when combined with the previous article, can help prevent this error from happening.

Introduction

In his “Troubleshooting Database Login Errors using Crystal Reports with .NET,” Eric Landes points out that he sees questions regarding the “Exception Details: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LogOnException: Logon failed” message quite often in the newsgroups.  That's an understatement.  Since I use the “push” method (generating an ADO.NET dataset first, then setting the report's DataSource), I never saw this error, but I decided to try and replicate the problem to see why this was happening--it seems to be a popular error.  I had a suspicion that impersonation and the “double hop“ (where the ASP.NET application cannot pass the user's credentials) may play a role in this problem, since the methods in Eric's article don't solve the problem for every user it should.

To replicate the problem, I used an ASP.NET project connecting to either a remote production SQL Server database or a copy of the same database on my development machine (SQL Server Developer Edition).  I created a stored procedure that was just a simple SELECT statement, and used this stored procedure as my report source (“pull“ method).  I probably created this report 20 different ways, testing various options, and here's what I found.

Title: Database Logon Failed - Solution   
Name: Odysseus
Date: 2012-03-01 1:16:52 PM
Comment:
After banging my head into the wall with this issue for about a day, I realized that I had specified two linked tables in the Database Expert window, but was only setting the datasource for one table. It turns out that I only needed one table for the report so removing the extra one fixed this problem for me. I assume that setting the datasource for the second table would also have fixed the problem, but I didn't test that. This particular scenario is especially frustrating because the error message has nothing to do with the actual problem. Hope this helps someone else.

I'm having a problem with my crystal report when deploying to the client machine.
The Problem is when i tried to run my software to the client machine its runs smoothly but when i try to load my report , it requires me to enter LOG ID and PASSWORD, but in my computer where i built the software, when i try to load the report , there's is no LOG ID and PASSWORD .. I'am sure to myself that my database does not have a password and dont also set any security to my app ..
Why is this happening? Can anyone help me?

Title: Thanks for Lesson 1

Thanks for this - we've got loads of old reports that are set to ODBC. Interestingly the COM component (craxdrt) doesn't care what method the report uses to connect to the DB, you just updated it at runtime. We're currently updating to using the .NET crystal reports runtime instead. So all our reports that worked fine with OLE DB & COM don't work with the .NET version, which means we have to change 100+ reports(with many tables each) to accommodate the "improvement"(NOT).
Well done, Business Objects/SAP - less than impressed with this.

Title: Logon Failed Pull Reports   
Name: Joe Rich
Date: 2010-10-04 9:56:05 PM
Comment:
I recently encountered a problem deploying an app that uses Crystal Reports. Of five work stations, three worked fine. But the other two threw Logon Failed exceptions when attempting to print from the report. All of my reports are
"pull" reports which use stored procs as their data source. After almost two months of working with Crystal support we found that the work stations that threw the Logon Failed error did not have SQL Native Client installed (SLQNCLI.DLL). Installing the SQL Native Client resolved the problem. Note that while my back end was SQL Server 2008, SQL Native Client for 2008 would not work. It seems that Crystal is looking for SQLNCLI.DLL and Native Client for 2008 is SQLNCLI10.DLL.

The lesson is check to see that SQL Native Client is installed on your work stations. You should be able to see that in the Control Panel's Install/Uninstall programs list.

Good Luck

Thanks. These articles are great.

For those who, like me, had set out on the wrong footing, the solution to the LOGON FAILED issue is non-trivial. It has to be resolved through codes, not just by setting properties at design time. MSDN has comprehensive tutorials here - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms225570.aspx

All the best!

I'm using VS2008 Professional Edition, and the version of Crystal Reports that came bundled with it.

I'm trying to use Crystal Reports without a database. In other words: I create a DataSet in code, and fill it manually. I then link my report to this custom DataSet.

Still, for some strange reason, I'm asked to enter a login ID and a password. What should I fill in here? I'm completely at a loss right now.

hi i am using a .xsd file and a dataadapter to produce crystal reports. The code is as follows.

Dim Report As SCOREPC.crptCollactivity = CType(CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource(), SCOREPC.crptCollactivity)
Dim DataEnvironment As New DataEnv2
Dim TableAdapter As New DataEnv2TableAdapters.dtrptCollactivityTableAdapter

TableAdapter.Fill(DataEnvironment.dtrptCollactivity)

Report.Database.Tables(0).SetDataSource(DataEnvironment)
CrystalReportViewer1.Show()
The report is taking the connection string info from app.config file.
connectionString="Data Source=servername;Initial Catalog=SKYPE;User ID=sa;Password=xyz"

Everything is working fine. Now if i change the UID and PASSWD in app.config file and run the application again.
the statement
TableAdapter.Fill(DataEnvironment.dtrptCollactivity)
is throwing a exception for invalid user.

What i want is that instaed of throwing an exception it should present me a sql prompt for changing user id and password. Is it possible? I am using ado.net datasets.

Is the same functionlity can be achieved in crystal report through some other means?

We just started using Crystal. We use standard security for development and integrated security from the Web servers for test/prod. For 2 days I've been trying to figure out why it won't work with integrated security on the test server. Followed the tutorials & added logic to display ALL the connection settings (even collections) - it looked like everything was set correctly but still got the login error. No problem connecting using .Net controls, so it couldn't be the SQL Client setup. Works fine when everything's on the same machine. Thought I must be doing something wrong - never occurred to me that Crystal would have such a huge flaw. And why do they put the tutorials out there when they know they don't work?

Cho,

There are two ways to pass SQL Server information to a Crystal Report. They are known as "push" and "pull". If you are getting a SQL Server login, it sounds like you designed your report using the pull method. You canno switch to the push method--you need to redesign your report from the beginning.

I have created a Crystal Report.NET report that is generated dynamically using a stored procedure that is run from my webpage. The report runs fine. Once it opens and the user clicks either the Print option or Export option, closes the option box and then hits the BACK button on the browser, I get the following error...

Logon failed. could not find part of the path. unable to connect incorrect log on parameters

I've been trying to figure out any possible reasons for this. I do use a single sign on solution to access the report. When the user clicks the link, it generates a unique Token ID. It may be trying to reload the report using the same Token ID when they hit the back button and since it won't allow it, may be throwing that error.

Any input would be awesome.

Thanks.

Dear Richard,
After messing with Crystal deployment for several days now and reading your article, I think I want to switch to the push method.
Can you recommend a good source for sample/walkthrough for implementing this method? My architecture is simple (IIS SQL Server on the same machine) but I want Crystal to use the connection string from me web.config file.
Thanks,

Apparently Logon failed is a bigger issue than just verifying the database and problem would go away. Business Objects have this issue on their “monthly fixes” list and if you pick the right SP or fix problem will go away. The problem I had was even after I installed several patches and fixes Logon Failed message would still be there. Final solution was to just simply remove Crystal Report and install it again along with all patches and fixes. I got lucky this time... problem was gone.

You can't report from XML directly in VS 2003. I think you can in VS 2005, but I haven't used it yet. See http://www.rjdudley.com/blog/Crystal+Reports+NET++How+To+Report+Off+A+Flat+XML+File+Through+A+Visual+Studio+NET+Application.aspx for a VS 2003 solution.

Remember that you need to have designed your report from an XSD, not from a database table.

Hello,

I am using the push method, where I have a typed dataset, I filled the dataset with the data (from an access database with OLEDB adapter) and set the datasource of the report to this Dataset (filled). Okay i get the logon failed exception.

Then I redesigned the report to use an XML file (fixed full file). During runtime I fill the XML file with the typed dataset and call the report to such the XML file contents. Okay then I get "Database Logon Failed" exception.

I do not undertand how the report try to logon to database when there is XML file allready filled with data and waiting for the report to read it.

Please someone help me I am totaly dead..

Hello Richard,

Thanks for your reply,

CR prompts login for every windows user even domain admins as well.!!
And as dataset and report are sitting on client site (report only fetches data from dataset), sql security can not be culprit.

I asked client's tech guys to reinstalled windows XP.
When they reinstalled Windows XP and installed our software on fresh XP SP2, it worked FINE.

They did live windows update, restarted their computer and CR started PROMPTING LOGON.

I tried recreating the same in my test environment but no success - CR works fine with every latest XP patch.

I emailed crystal guys in Australia and they said - I am entitled to ask ONLY TWO product related questions for the .Net products which I had already asked so even if this is a Crystal bug they are not helping me.

BTW, client uses...
- Dell Computers
- Windows XP SP2 + latest updates
- McAfee antivirus
- Windows firewall
- Windows Domain security
- .Net Framework 1.1
- CR 9

Do you know any condition that in combination with the above can cause CR to prompt for login?

Thanks again,

Hello Richard,

I am using....

.Net Runtime 1.1
CR 9 shipped with vs2003
Winforms Application
DataSource = ADO.NET dataset

I have finished this application a year ago and we have 70+ clients.
One of our clients has our program installed on 6 computers. Before few days, the program including crystal report was working fine.
Suddenly, in last month, CR viewer started popping up error "Logon Failed" with login box with prewritten table name in it.

I have checked all logon problems with dataset on every discussion board.
All I found was - table name or field name might be wrong.

Can you think of any program or condition that can cause CR to display “Logon Failed” specially after going well for a year?

BTW, All the client machines are windows XP with SP2 on it.

It sounds like a file permissions issue. Depending on the server version and the impersonation settings of your app, there are a number of settings you'll need to tweak. Make sure ASPNET (win 2K) or Network Service (Win 2K3) have at least READ permisssions on the folder where the XML is stored. If that doesn't help, try the forum at http://asp.net.

crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = databaseName;
crConnectionInfo.UserID = userID;
crConnectionInfo.Password = password;
//Get the table information from the report
crDatabase = pF_CrystalReport.Database;
crTables = crDatabase.Tables;

//Loop through all tables in the report and apply the
//connection information for each table.
for (int i = 0; i < crTables.Count; i++)
{
crTable = crTables [i];
bool test=crTable.TestConnectivity();
if (test==false)
{
throw new Exception("DB Connection not working");
}
crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo;
crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo);

After this it still uses the old connection information.

You're probably not the first to think that, and I'll see if I can get the editors to make a small change.

In systems where performance is a concern, it's important to know that CR uses ODBC when it connects to a DB, rather than the performance improved ADO.NET. That's one reason why I prefer to use the PUSH method.

Michael,

When I said "CR.NET doesn't use ADO.NET", I didn't mean that CR.NET couldn't use ADO.NET. I meant that when CR.NET connects to a database (in the PULL method), it uses ODBC drivers, not ADO.NET drivers.

Your example is the PUSH method, and is actually the method I prefer to use. Technically, you're not using ADO.NET, either, since you are creating an in-memory dataset, the source of which could have been XML, a custom collection, or a database connected via JDBC, ODBC, ADO.NET (as you used), etc.

PUSH and PULL are two distinct methods of feeding data into CR.NET reports, and they can not be mixed, although I see a lot of people trying.

A colleague referred me to Richard's blog entry (http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/richard.dudley/archive/2004/09/09/25038.aspx) and that led me to this article.

He had struggling for days to figure this out and was perplexed to hear that it was written that CR.Net doesn't work with ADO.Net when I had working samples in our project using ADO.Net.

See below:

// Get my report data; this fills the dataset for me
GetMyDataClass myData = new GetMyDataClass(reportId);
MyReportsFolder.report1 rpt = new MyReportsFolder.report1();

// Set my report data source to my ADO.Net DataSet
report1.SetDataSource(myData.ADOdotNetDataSet);

// Display the report
CRViewerOnPage.ReportSource = rpt;


A few keys to note:

* this show example is based on a typed dataset.
* the report database is set to my DataSchema file (XSD).
* the DataTable(s) displayed on the Database Fields must be named EXACTLY the same as the DataTable(s) filled from the database (ie, DataSet1.TableA and the table under Database Fields should be "TableA")

I am still getting this problem even with SQL Server and IIS located on the same machine. When I try to open the report, I get the "Logon failed" error cited above. The SQL Server log records a logon failed message for the "ASPNET" user. Despite having impersonation turned on in the web.config (and impersonation does work throughout the rest of the application), there still seems to be a failure of impersonation in Crystal Reports. Is there something I am missing?

Hi Richard,

There is a better and professional way to get away from this problem. Once you create the instance of your report, you can use the SetDatabaseLogon method to pass the user credentials.

rptMembers.SetDatabaseLogon("UsernameHere","PasswordHere");

"failed to create designer" error on one of my clients only and nowhere else. Has anyone seen this before? How can it be corrected.
