Hi Thomas,

it is possible to login into a SQL database with windows authentification, i.e. via Active Directory?

Best wishes

Hi Achim,

if the driver is managing that under the hood, but I doubt it. To my knowledge you need a user-ID and password.

Hi Thomas,

thanks for the superfast answer. Let me be a bit more specific:

With MS SQL Server you can grant rights to users of a window domain (active directory) or to user that are fully managed within SQL Server, i.e. including password etc.

So far I can only connect datawarrior with user credentials that are completely managed on the server, not the once from active directory. Ideally of course is single sign on, but logging in with password would be sufficient. What I want to avoid is an additional user management.

How do you do user authentification within Idorsia, when you retrieve data from an SQL database? Do you manage users within the database server or do you make use of windows credentials?

Thanks

Achim

Hi Achim,

at Idorsia, Windows only is not an option. Some people use Linux or even MacOS. They also need to log into the database, which is Oracle in our case. We use Oracle based user accounting and Oracle Roles to assign access rights.
