Data column

Type

Description

Column number

Filterable

DatabaseID

int

The ID of the database specified by the USE database statement, or the ID of the default database if no USE database statement has been issued for a given instance. SQL Server Profiler displays the name of the database if the Server Name data column is captured in the trace and the server is available.

No

TextData

ntext

  • For errors, contains a message that describes the reason for the failure. One of the following values:

  • Cert not found. The user specified for dialog protocol security has no certificate.

  • Not in valid time period. The user specified for dialog protocol security has a certificate, but the certificate has expired.

  • Cert too large for memory allocation. The user specified for dialog protocol security has a certificate, but the certificate is too large. The maximum certificate size that Service Broker supports is 32,768 bytes.

  • Private key not found. The user specified for dialog protocol security has a certificate, but there is no private key associated with that certificate.

  • The cert's private key size is incompatible with the crypto provider. The private key for the certificate has a key size that cannot be successfully processed. The private key size must be a multiple of 64 bytes.

  • The cert's public key size is incompatible with the crypto provider. The public key for the certificate has a key size that cannot be successfully processed. The public key size must be a multiple of 64 bytes.

  • The cert's private key size is incompatible with the encrypted key exchange key. The key size specified in the key exchange key does not match the size of the private key for the certificate. This generally indicates that the certificate on the remote computer does not match the certificate in the database.

  • The cert's public key size is incompatible with the security header's signature. The security header contains a signature that cannot be validated with the certificate's public key. This generally indicates that the certificate on the remote computer does not match the certificate in the database.

1

Yes

The table below lists the subclass values for this event class.

ID

Subclass

Description

1

No Security Header

During a secure conversation, Service Broker received a message that did not contain a session key. Once a secure conversation is established, the dialog protocol requires that all messages in the conversation contain a session key.

2

No Certificate

Service Broker could not locate a usable certificate for one of the participants in the conversation. To secure a conversation, the database must contain a certificate for both the sender and the recipient of the conversation.

3

Invalid Signature

Broker could not verify the message signature supplied by the sender using the public key in the sender's certificate. This may indicate that the message is corrupt, that the message has been tampered with, that the remote service and the local service are not configured with the same user certificate, or that the certificate is out of date.

4

Run As Target Failure

The destination user does not have receive permissions on the destination queue. To prevent unauthorized users from receiving messages, Service Broker does not enqueue messages with a destination user that cannot receive from the queue, regardless of whether the initiating user has permission to enqueue messages.
