I have a local SQL Server 2008R2. I have configured Linked Server to a remote database.
The Linked Server works great when I login to the local server using a SQL-login account withsysadmin
server role. I can query against the remote server, so I know the Linked Server setting is correct. However, I would get the error below if I use an account that does not have thesysadmin
server role.
Msg 7416, Level 16, State 2, Line 2 Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists.
For both local and remote servers, SQL login is used (Windows authentication is not used)
What kind of security I need to configure for a regular SQL-login account to use Linked Server?
