Restricting user to login from single host may be sometimes required from security point and other business requirements. We can achieve it through SERVER LEVEL LOGON TRIGGER.

ALTER TRIGGER TR_CHECK_LOGIN_TEST_HOST
ON ALL SERVER
FOR LOGON
AS
BEGIN

DECLARE @HOSTNAME VARCHAR(48)
DECLARE @PROGNAME VARCHAR(100)

SELECT @HOSTNAME = HOST_NAME FROM SYS.DM_EXEC_SESSIONS
WHERE SESSION_ID = @@SPID

IF ORIGINAL_LOGIN() = ‘TEST’ AND @HOSTNAME =’HostName’
ROLLBACK;

END

Once you create above trigger, Login “TEST” will be able to connect from specified host only. Connection from any other host will be failed and face below error: –

You can also find related errors in SQL Server Error log as well.

Error: 17892, Severity: 20, State: 1.

Logon failed for login ‘TEST’ due to trigger execution. [CLIENT: <local machine>]

Error: 3609, Severity: 16, State: 2.

The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.
