Let’s take a look at how our Support Team is ready to help customers resolve SQLServer Error 15404.

How to resolve SQLServer Error 15404

SQL server error 15404 occurs due to the specification of an invalid principal. Furthermore, the error may also pop up when the impersonation of a Windows account fails due to no full trust relationship between the domain of the Windows account and the SQL Server service account.

For instance, suppose we run a few high privilege T-SQL statements like sp_addsrvrolemember or Create Login, we may find ourselves facing Error 15404.

In this scenario, we will see notice messages in PALLOG. In case the PALLOG is disabled, we have to enable it manually by creating /var/opt/mssql/logger.ini  with the following content:

[Output:sql]
type=File
filename=/var/opt/mssql/log/pallog.txt

[Logger:security]
level=debug
outputs=sql

Let’s take a look at the messages in PALLOG:

As seen above, queries like Create login require checking permissions. The first time this is done, current permission is invalidated. When we repeat it, the permission check is rechecked. Furthermore, during the permission check, the SQL Server will go through the myssql.keytab to find the machine entry key or MSA key

In case the SQL Server cannot find the entries or finds invalid entries, it results in an error.

If we find ourselves facing this particular error, our Support Engineers suggest ensuring the Windows principal exists in addition to not being misspelled. Here are a few more troubleshooting tips courtesy of our Support Team to resolve this issue:

• Ensure we use an account from the same Windows user domain for the SQL Server service.
• If SQL Server uses a machine account like Local System or Network System, the machine has to be trusted by the Windows User domain.
• Use a SQL Server account
