No support for SQL Server Authentication and SSIS !!!!

Hi

I want to manage my servers from a central location and have the ability to manage my packges too. Unfortunatley my servers are across domains which means I have to use SQL Server Login, which isn't a bad thing. However for some bizzare reason I can't connect to Integration Services using this method, only windows authentication which is a complete pain in the butt from a management stand point as I have to copy packages to various servers rather than add them from a central point.

Does anyone know if this bug/feature or what ever Microsoft is calling it will be fixed or know of any workarounds.

Thanks

I have no problem with SSIS and SQL-Server-Authentification.|||

I do not even get the option to change the authentication method to SQL Server and the box is greyed out so I can't change the Windows authentication user either.

I do not have any problems inside SSIS, only when I try to connect to the SSIS server from within SQL Server Management Studio in a different domain.

|||I am assuming you are trying to connect to Integration Services from SQL Server Management Studio. You are right, you cannot change the authentication method to SQL Server authentication in this case. This is because it is a separate service, and sql server authentication does not work in this case.|||

This is indeed problematic... if developers for SSIS or even SSAS for that matter have workstations in a domain different from the domain that hosts the Server you cannot deploy packages to the server, you can't create/access SSAS Dbs either.

This means then that any developer must work in the same domain as the server they are trying to deploy to or access (SQL Server mgmt. studio to monitor SSIS packages or to even open a SSAS DB in Visual Studio)

Anyone find a way around this?

I just found this the hard way. I work for client in a different domain to my workstation and I cannot deploy the app. Like Joe, if someone has already researched this, plxz let us know.

I also have problems with restricted VPN access with locked down ports at the client.

Thanks

I have exactly the same problem and also found out the hard way. In fact my problem is a little worse - our client doesn't even HAVE a domain (yes they are a little backward)!

I managed to get the package installed on the client's server after much trial and error (by copying the VS solution to the server, editing my connection managers and debugging then deploying from there. Thankfully they had installed VS on the server).

The bigger problem is now that the clients can never run the SSIS package remotely. What is worse is that SSAS has the same problem - my clients can't browse their cube from Excel or SSMS! The only way I can think of around this is to remote desktop into the server, which is obviously bad.

Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions / comments.

If you want to execute a SSIS package remotely, set up a SQL Server Agent job to execute the package. That job can be executed from wherever you like by anyone with SSMS.

SSIS Service does not provide remote execution, as Jamie suggested - use Agent Jobs instead.

The usual way to get package installed on a machine you can access remotely is to build deployment utility (option in VS SSIS project), copy the folder with deployment utility and run it on the target machine.

What you'll be missing due to lack of domain is
1) ability to remotely store packages, and
2) ability to remotely monitor packages as they are being run, and to terminate these packages.

I just came across this.

I to am frustrated that you can only connect to the SSIS service via windows authentication. I am attempting to connect from my computer(a client running Management Studio) not directly from the machine 'hosting' the SQL Server and SSIS services. When I do this, I obviously have to set myself up with an operating system(Win 2k3 server )account on the server machine but I am only able to connect to SSIS if I am a member of the administrators group. Is this true? Can I connect as someone with less rights/privledges?
