Login failed for user IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool troubleshooting

This error...


Cannot open database "SportsStore" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool'.
A severe error occurred on the current command.  The results, if any, should be discarded.



...has this solution:


Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

Go to Logins node under Security.

Add a new Login, name it: IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool



Then select the User Mapping on left pane, then check the Map column of your database (e.g. SportsStore).  Then check the db_owner on Database role membership of your user IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool on your database SportsStore
