Agenda
• Introduction
• Manageability
• Security
• Business Intelligence
• Session Summary
Security
Feature Enhancements
• Auditing
– DDL triggers
– Events

• Authorization Enhancements
– User schema separation
– Module execution context
– Catalog security
– Granular permission control
– Encryption enhancements
Security
User-Schema Separation
• New DDL for user and schemas
– CREATE/ALTER/DROP for USER, ROLE, and
SCHEMA
• Dropping user does not require application
rewrite
Security
Solution: User-Schema Separation

Table User 2
d by
wne
O
Function
Database Contained in Owned By Owned by
Schema User
Object
View

Stored Proc

Drop user does NOT require application change!

Security
User-Schema Separation
• Each schema has an owning Database
principal – user or role
• Each user has a default schema
Approle1
for name resolution Role1
User1
Has
• Object creation inside schema default
Owns schema Owns
requires CREATE permission
Owns
and ALTER or CONTROL Schema1 Schema2
permission on the schema
– Example: Creation of table in
schema requires CREATE Schema3

TABLE permission and SP1

Fn1
ownership of schema or
Tab1
ALTER or CONTROL
on schema
Security
Execution Context
Execute Perms Select Perms
checked for User3 checked for User3
SQL Server 2000
User2.Proc1 User1.T1
User 3

User1.Proc1 User1.T1

Execute Perms NO Perms

checked for User3 checked for User3
SQL Server 2005
‘Execute AS ‘X’ ’
User 3 User2.Proc1 User1.T1
Execute Perms Select Perms
checked for User3 checked for ‘X’.
Not for user3
Security
Module Execution Context

• Execute AS CALLER
• Execute AS “UserName”
• Execute AS SELF
• Execute AS OWNER
Security
Certificates
• Encryption enhancements
– Encryption uses symmetric keys, asymmetric keys and
certificates
– SQL Server 2005 can generate certificates for encryption
– RC4, RSA, Triple-DES and AES encryption supported
• Encryption can be used with any level of SQL Server
2005 securable
