Bug #45542 Cannot connect to MS SQL

Description:
JRE: tried 1.5.19 and 1.6.14
Windows: XP SP2
MySQL Migration Toolkit: 1.1.17

Using SQL Auth, I cannot connect to a remote MS SQL instance.  I *can* connect using the same auth info with MS SQL Management Studio and Studio Express.  I can *also* connect using DbVisualizer (jtds/jdbc) without any additional configuration info other than IP, DBName, User, and Password.

My process:
From the first page:
* Next
* Direct Migration (next)
* Database System: MS SQL Server
* Hostname (myIP) and port = 1433
* username
* password

From here I've tried to simply press "..." and have also manually entered my dbName and continued through.  Either way, I get a "login failed" error.

Here is the full error:

1) I consider this a bug if I cannot connect to this server instance, although a similar java-based app (dbVisualizer) can easily connect

2) I started a thread on serverfault.com, which has additional info:

Thank you.

How to repeat:

Suggested fix:
Update the driver?  Allow me to select my own driver?  I can't tell you since I don't know the source problem.

Thinking it may be a problem with the driver, I downloaded the MS SQL JDBC driver from MSFT and renamed/replaced the jtds jar file that comes with the Toolkit.

No dice there, either.  (yes, it was a desperate move)

Just tried this on a fresh install of Windows 7, as well.  Installed Win7, JRE 6, MySQL GUI Tools.  Login fail.  Installed dbVisualizer, login success.

Thank you for the problem report. What exact version of MS SQL Server do you use?

8.00.2039|SP4|Enterprise Edition

I couldn't repeat with MS SQL 2005.

This is an issue with my SQL rights.  

Please make sure what SQL Server rights are needed in order to perform a migration.  Namely, rights to INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
