How to install aspnet_regsql.exe to store session state data

Question

Hi, I am trying to install session state on a SQL server instance, but whenever I'm trying to install it from command prompt I'm getting a login failed exception but I'm able to log into SSMS tool with the same credentials. I'm using SQL server authentication to login with a database name.I only have access to a particular database in the server and I want to use that database to create the required tables and stores procedures which are required to store session data. I can't get the access to create a new database in the server. What command do I need to write to install session state in the existing database rather than creating a new ASPState database? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

use the -d <database> switch to use an existing database. the login will need still permissions to create the tables and props.

if you want more flexibility. create a local database. then create a database project and reverse engineer. you can then use dpac to deploy.
