BUG: Security Manager Not Remove Aliases When Revoking Logins

Q113401



The information in this article applies to:


  • Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2x



BUG# NT: 9957 (4.2)


SYMPTOMS

SQL Security Manager does not remove aliases to any database for a system login when it is being revoked. This can cause a problem when the system login id being dropped is the last login id in syslogins; because after the login is dropped, the next system login added will be automatically aliased to the databases the dropped login was aliased to.



WORKAROUND

After the system login id has been deleted, drop the alias from the database manually using SP_DROPALIAS.



STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Security Manager version 4.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
