Question: I having the following error message:

> 
> Cannot open database "SmallBakery" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'IIS APPPOOL\MyAppPool'
>

How can correct this? I am using windows 7 Enterprise Edition and Sql server 2012.

Answer: 
If you don't change, each app pool has it's own identity. In your case, just add a new user to your database `SmallBakery` with the name `IIS APPPOOL\MyAppPool` using SQL Management Studio. You find the users list in the "Security/Users" subnode of your database. This should look something like that:

For testing, let the user be member of the `db_owner` role. If that works, remove this role and just let it be member of `db_datareader` and `db_datawriter`.

This way, each app pool (perhaps each website, if they all use their own app pool) only has access to the corresponding database.
It depends on how you want to authenticate in your app. Are you trying to use impersonation in your app?

What's happening right now is the identity of your app pool in IIS is getting passed when trying to access the database. You can change the identity of your app pool to be something that has access to the database or you could change your connection string to use a specific login instead of integrated security.
