Logon triggers

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Managed Instance

Logon triggers fire stored procedures in response to a LOGON event. This event is raised when a user session is established with an instance of SQL Server. Logon triggers fire after the authentication phase of logging in finishes, but before the user session is established. Therefore, all messages originating inside the trigger that would typically reach the user, such as error messages and messages from the PRINT statement, are diverted to the SQL Server error log. Logon triggers don't fire if authentication fails.

You can use logon triggers to audit and control server sessions, such as by tracking login activity, restricting logins to SQL Server, or limiting the number of sessions for a specific login. For example, in the following code, the logon trigger denies sign-in attempts to SQL Server initiated by login login_test if there are already three user sessions created by that login.

USE master;
GO

CREATE LOGIN login_test
WITH PASSWORD = N'3KHJ6dhx(0xVYsdf' MUST_CHANGE,
CHECK_EXPIRATION = ON;
GO

GRANT VIEW SERVER STATE TO login_test;
GO

CREATE TRIGGER connection_limit_trigger ON ALL SERVER
WITH EXECUTE AS N'login_test'
FOR LOGON AS BEGIN
    IF ORIGINAL_LOGIN() = N'login_test'
    AND (
        SELECT COUNT(*)
        FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions
        WHERE is_user_process = 1
            AND original_login_name = N'login_test') > 3
    ROLLBACK;
END;

The LOGON event corresponds to the AUDIT_LOGIN SQL Trace event, which can be used in Event Notifications. The primary difference between triggers and event notifications is that triggers are raised synchronously with events, whereas event notifications are asynchronous. This means, for example, that if you want to stop a session from being established, you must use a logon trigger. An event notification on an AUDIT_LOGIN event can't be used for this purpose.

Specify first and last trigger

Multiple triggers can be defined on the LOGON event. Any one of these triggers can be designated the first or last trigger to be fired on an event by using the sp_settriggerorder system stored procedure. SQL Server doesn't guarantee the execution order of the remaining triggers.

Manage transactions

Before SQL Server fires a logon trigger, SQL Server creates an implicit transaction that is independent from any user transaction. Therefore, when the first logon trigger starts firing, the transaction count is 1. After all the logon triggers finish executing, the transaction commits. As with other types of triggers, SQL Server returns an error if a logon trigger finishes execution with a transaction count of 0. The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement resets the transaction count to 0, even if the statement is issued inside a nested transaction. COMMIT TRANSACTION might decrement the transaction count to 0. Therefore, we advise against issuing COMMIT TRANSACTION statements inside logon triggers.

Consider the following when you're using a ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement inside logon triggers:

  • Any data modifications made up to the point of ROLLBACK TRANSACTION are rolled back. These modifications include changes made by the current trigger, and by previous triggers that executed on the same event. Any remaining triggers for the specific event aren't executed.

  • The current trigger continues to execute any remaining statements that appear after the ROLLBACK statement. If any of these statements modify data, the modifications aren't rolled back.

A user session isn't established if any of the following conditions occur during execution of a trigger on a LOGON event:

  • The original implicit transaction is rolled back or fails.
  • An error that has severity greater than 20 is raised inside the trigger body.

Disable a logon trigger

A logon trigger can effectively prevent successful connections to the Database Engine for all users, including members of the sysadmin fixed server role. When a logon trigger is preventing connections, members of the sysadmin fixed server role can connect by using the dedicated administrator connection, or by starting the Database Engine in minimal configuration mode (-f).
