great post, but does not work for my xp machine. it’s like it does not recognise *.client.com or it doesn’t remember the password. Have you any clues?

Thanks for this.

I’ve been testing security on a solution and there is something I don’t understand about integrated security and local accounts. Somehow I am able to bypass integrated security in my .NET 2.0 web solution by just adding a domain to my local intranet settings in IE 8 in my client. Is windows storing user/passwords in a way that not even clearing cache or rebooting deletes? My client user is logged in with the same user name, but on a different domain and with a different password. Annonymous access is off and integrated is on.

Fantastic article, thanks!
Do you know (probably), why SQL Management Studio has a such weird behaviour? Why they don’t use built-in credential manager?

Thanks, Phil. To answer your question, when you start applications like SQL Server Management Studio, using runas /netonly, you can expect to see your own domain account. However, the application will still use the credentials you supplied in the runas command to connect to the network resources.

Fantastic article Oleg. One quick question, as I’m doing this for the first time in MS SQL management Studio (2005) (Common7\IDE\SqlWb.exe) due to reading this article I’m not sure what to expect.

If I runas /regnetonly specifying the client’s domain account credentials would you expect then to see in the greyed out part of the SQL login/connect panel the client account details or the account details of the locally logged in user?

I’m still seeing the account I’m logged in as which I wouldn’t expect. Is runas not working correctly, or is it just a UI glitch?

A couple of comments regarding Windows 7:

- the User Credentials Management UI has changed significantly. However, the credentials management tips in this article still apply.

- Holding down Shift when you right click will reveal a “Run as different user” command. It is not clear if this is “netonly” mode or not.
