Database Mirroring login attempt by User ' ' failed with error: 'Connection handshake failed',


Sometime you may receive an error in SQL Server's log and Database Mirroring stops:

Database Mirroring login attempt by user ' ' failed with error: 'Connection handshake failed. The login ' ' does not have CONNECT permission on the endpoint. State 84.'.  [CLIENT: ]

This message actually informs that your security configuration for the mirroring protocol is broken. You can easily rectify this error by fixing the permission on endpoint using below SQL:

GRANT Connect on EndPoint::[EndPoint Name] To [Account]

Below command will fix this issue assuming end point name is “mirroring” and account name used is “ArunL\test”

GRANT Connect on EndPoint::[EndPoint Name] To [ArunL\test]

Note: If your mirroring is suspended then you have to resume mirrirong after this command.
