Ways We Can Steal Your Data download now. Problem. Windows Firewall is an OS level software firewall. It can be a crucial part of OS level security if you are not using other firewall hardware or software. Since I do not have another firewall I have a need to enable Windows Firewall for my SQL Server database server. In this article I go through the process of configuring Windows Firewall for different scenarios along with the associated considerations.

Describes Service Pack 2 for Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3. Solution. Windows Firewall was previously known as ICF Internet Connection Firewall. It falls into the category of software firewalls and is used to blockfilter specific traffic towards your machine. Windows Firewall may be accessed from the Control Panel of your Windows machine or by executing firewall. It requires the. Windows service Windows FirewallInternet Connection Sharing ICS to be in a running state. By executing the firewall. Windows Firewall configuration frame. Here you can turn onoff the firewall along with adding exceptions and other settings. Check the status of the firewall on the General tab and if the firewall is off turn it on to enable it. Sql Server Compact 3.5 Sp1' title='Sql Server Compact 3.5 Sp1' />If you just turned this on, at this stage your firewall would block any SQL Server connection request to your machine. To allow access to a SQL Server database engine behind the firewall, you would have to configure the firewall by providing certain exceptions. When working with firewall configurations for SQL Server we need to know about the ports used for SQL Server and the SQL Server Browser service. Both are involved when configuring the firewall for SQL Server. So it would be appropriate to go through both concepts separately. SQL Server ports. A SQL Server port can be related to an instance level and is specific for that instance. Ports are used by SQL Server when an instance is configured to use the TCPIP protocol. When network dataconnection request arrives at your server machine through the IP address and instance name, at this point SQL Server receives data on its specific port. Port allotment to SQL Server may be dynamic or static. While working with firewalls and adding a port exception, you would have to configure a static port for SQL Server. It is important to note that SQL Server Express, SQL Server Compact 3. SP1, and named instances always use a dynamic port by default. You may allot static ports to these instances as mentioned in this tip. SQL Server default instances use port 1. After that, any instance on that machine would have to use another port. Default instance can also be configured to listen on a custom port rather than the default 1. You may viewedit SQL Server port configurations by going into properties of TCPIP protocol in SQL Server Configuration Manager for a specific instance of SQL Server as shown below. By clicking on Properties, you will get the TCPIP properties. Go to the IP Addresses tab and here you may editview port configurations for a specific instance of SQL Server. SQL Server Browser Service. SQL Server Browser service is responsible to serve incoming requests for SQL Server connection by providing them information about installed instances of SQL Server. If this service is stopped and the port assigned to any instance is other than the default port 1. IP Instance Port to access the instance. If the SQL Server Browser service is on then you do not need to provide a port number with the IP and instance. To make use of the SQL Server Browser service while the firewall is on, you have to include UDP port 1. SQL Server Browser service would not be able to serve the incoming connection requests You can check the status or change the status of the SQL Server Browser service by using Windows MMC or by using SQL Server Configuration ManagerSurface Area Configuration. To access Windows services execute services. Run command box as we did above for the firewall. One thing to note is that I mention it uses the IP Address. The reason for this is that when you connect to machines your DNS will direct you to the correct IP based on the machine name you give it, so you are still accessing your SQL Servers by using the machine name Instance Port. Protocols for SQL Server network connections. SQL Server may be configured to accept network data through TCPIP or named pipes protocol. In coming sections we will discuss each while configuring the firewall connections. Different scenarios with TCPIP TCPIP protocol has different scenarios when working with firewalls. Ports are involved for accessing the SQL Server engine through TCPIP. You may have one instance running on a defaultcustomdynamic port. On the other hand there may be more than one instance on the same machine with a combination of different ports and the SQL Server Browser service may be stopped or running. For working with TCPIP protocol access configurations, I have selected some scenarios to start with. Based on these you would be able to configure firewall access for any number of instances on your machine. Scenario. SQL Server Browser. Port. Scenario 1. Running. Default 1. Scenario 2. Running. Custom port. Scenario 3. Not Running. Default 1. Scenario 4. Not Running. Custom port. Scenario 1. SQL Server instance is running on default port 1. TCPIP. So you need to add TCPIP 1. Windows Firewall. Access Windows Firewall exception frame, go to exceptions tab and click Add Port. A frame will appear as shown below, provide parameters with any descriptive name as shown in below figure and click OK. Now you can access your SQL server instance on the default port without any customization in connection parameters. Although it would have no effect on your connection parameters since you are using the default port, you could also add SQL Server Browser in the exception list. For this, go to exceptions tab and click Add Port. UDP and click OK. Scenario 2. In this scenario you are using a port other than the default 1. SQL Server Browser Service is running. Suppose you have configured SQL Server to run on port 5. So you would add the custom port in the exception list as shown below. To make use of the SQL Server Browser service, you would also add port 1. UDP in exception list as shown below. If you do not include port 1. UDP in the exception list then there would be no use for the SQL Server Browser service even if it was started. Now to access the instance just enter IP of machine with instance name without any port number. SQL Server Browser service would do the rest for you and it will connect you to the instance even if a custom port is being used. Scenario 3. In cases where the instance to be accessed is using the default port TCP 1. Install Wow Private Server On Linux more. SQL Server Browser Service is not running, you can connect to an instance without specifying the port. You may note that in the case where instance to be accessed is on default TCPIP port, SQL Server Browser Service status would not effect the way you are connecting to the instance. Scenario 4. If instance is on any custom defined port and SQL Server Browser service is not running, then just add SQL Server instance custom port in exception list. Now you have to provide IP Instance. Name Port for connection. If you provide just IP along with instance name, there is no mechanism to get the port number. As a result the connection would fail.
