Microsoft SQL Data Server and external namespace authentication.

Troubleshooting


Problem

By new GUI, connect to an Microsoft SQL database using JDBC and External namespace authentication works fine with an SQL-signon (hardcoded) but not when switching to external namespace.
By old GUI ( Administration console ) :  no problem.

Symptom

Error message: "XQE-DS-0006 Unable to logon to the data source. Login failed for user ''. ClientConnectionId:xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"

Cause

Integratedsecurity flag missing in connection string
 

Environment

Microsoft SQL server database

Resolving The Problem

Data Server connections for Microsoft SQL Server.
Edit Microsoft SQL Server connection
JDBC URL :   "jdbc:sqlserver://server;DATABASE=xxxxxx;LOGINTIMEOUT=0;integratedSecurity=true"
Ps :   It comes default when done in old GUI.
