    • Authentication Method. Specify whether to use Windows Integrated Security or SQL Authentication. Your SQL Server administrator will be able to tell you how the system was set up. If the wrong authentication type is selected, the installation will fail to log on.

    Note

    If you are using Windows integrated security with a remote server, the Forefront Server Security Management Console server requires credentials accessible to both FSSMC and the remote server running SQL Server. This is only supported using FSSMC and SQL in a domain or the Active Directory® directory service environment.

    Fill in the following:

    • Server. The local or remote server running SQL Server to install to. The list will display all the servers running SQL Server that could be discovered in the client's environment. You are not limited to the entries in this list. You may enter a different server name.
    • NT Domain. This field can be ignored if you are using a local server running SQL Server with integrated security and a local account, or if you are using SQL authentication. If you are using Windows integrated security to connect to a remote server running SQL Server, enter the domain in which SQL Server and FSSMC are located. Do not enter a fully qualified domain name. Enter only the domain name.
    • User. Enter the name of the user with access to the SQL repository. This user will automatically be added to the FSSMC database user list, but will not be included in the list of users displayed in the FSSMC to prevent anyone from deleting it.
    • Password. Enter the password for that user.
    • Test Logon. After providing the necessary credentials, you may test the logon using the Test Logon button (provided you have "logon as batch" rights).
