SQL get ip address of user calling stored procedure
Is it possible, and if so how, to get user's remote ip address executing the query, analogously as we can get user's name with:
SUSER_SNAME()Update for bounty. Current answers are not satisfactory. I am looking for a solution which allows to grab IP address of an ordinary mortal user, not a db owner. The ideas proposed by TheGameiswar or njc do not allow to capture user's IP address who has been granted just a
executePlease see the sequence I follow:
create procedure MyStoredProcedure as
select client_net_address
from sys.dm_exec_connections
where session_id = @@SPID
Now add a user and grant permission:
CREATE LOGIN [user_mortal_jack] WITH PASSWORD=N'LongYouLive!!!';
GRANT EXECUTE ON MyStoredProcedure TO [user_mortal_jack];
When I run the procedure with a query:
EXECUTE AS USER = 'user_mortal_jack'
exec MyStoredProcedure
REVERT
I get error message:
The module being executed is not trusted. Either the owner of the database of the module needs to be granted authenticate permission, or the module needs to be digitally signed.
I will get this message even if I grant additional permission:
grant VIEW SERVER STATE to [user_mortal_jack];
If I change the beginning of stored procedure to:
create procedure MyStoredProcedure
with execute as OWNER as
I end up with different sort of error:
Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'blahblah\admin_user', error code 0x534.
General Info
There are 2 ways to get the current connection informations
1. Getting Informations from Dynamic Managemenet Views
SELECT
conn.session_ID as SPID,
conn.client_net_address as IPAddress,
sess.host_name as MachineName,
sess.program_name as ApplicationName,
login_name as LoginName
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections conn
inner join sys.dm_exec_sessions sess
on conn.session_ID=sess.session_ID
2. Using CONNECTIONPROPERTY function (SQL-Server 2008 and newer version):
select
CONNECTIONPROPERTY('net_transport') AS net_transport,
CONNECTIONPROPERTY('protocol_type') AS protocol_type,
CONNECTIONPROPERTY('auth_scheme') AS auth_scheme,
CONNECTIONPROPERTY('local_net_address') AS local_net_address,
CONNECTIONPROPERTY('local_tcp_port') AS local_tcp_port,
CONNECTIONPROPERTY('client_net_address') AS client_net_address
Suggested Solutions
1. If you are looking to grant user for a specific IP address
CREATE PROCEDURE MyStoredProcedure AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @IP_Address varchar(255);
SELECT @IP_Address = CAST(CONNECTIONPROPERTY('client_net_address') as varchar(200))
IF @IP_Address = 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX'
SELECT TOP 1 FROM tb
END
2. assuming that you have a table that contains granted ip address (i.e. TBL_IP)
CREATE PROCEDURE MyStoredProcedure AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @IP_Address varchar(255);
SELECT @IP_Address = CAST(CONNECTIONPROPERTY('client_net_address') as varchar(200))
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM TBL_IP WHERE [IP] = @IP_Address )
SELECT TOP 1 FROM tb
END
3. if you are looking to grant a user (database user) to execute a stored procedure, you should use this command
GRANT EXECUTE ON MyStoredProcedure TO User;
There are many detailed article and answers talking about the issue you are facing, and many suggested solutions, such as Setting the Database in TRUSTWORTHY mode (before using it read the first Link below) and Trusting the Authenticator, and other methods. You can find them in the links below
- SQL Server EXECUTE AS trouble
- SQL Server execute procedure as user
- Extending Database Impersonation by Using EXECUTE AS (Extending the Scope of Impersonation section)
- EXECUTE AS (Transact-SQL)
- execute stored procedure as another user premission
Note: You can check @SteveFord answer for using TRUSTWORTHY property
4.If you are looking to block connections except specific IP addresses then you should follow this answer
Also there are many scripts that can be used to get client or Server IP addresses that can be found in the Question below:
