  • 1.  MSSQL Connector Windows Authentication

    Posted 06-07-2023 04:52:00 PM

    On the masking engine, MSSQL Database Connector with a Database local user and password works fine. Can authentication be made with an AD based Windows Authentication? If yes, please provide details on how that can be achieved.

    Hi Mahesh,

         Thanks for reaching out.  I'm providing a sample JDBC URL below to use for AD integration.  Also included is a knowledge article referencing the below URL example.  If you are trying to integrate the engine itself to use AD, please let us know and I can provide you with those steps but from my understanding, you just want to configure a connector and setup a job.

    jdbc:sqlserver://<IP>:<Port>;databaseName=<dbName>;useNTLMv2=true;authenticationScheme=NTLM;integratedSecurity=true;user=<USER+AD>;

    Hi Vijayender,

    Thanks for your reply.  This KB is also an option putting those parameters in a properties file.  You can also list it in the JDBC URL as I provided below.  Were you able to test it?

    jdbc:sqlserver://<IP>:<Port>;databaseName=<dbName>;useNTLMv2=true;authenticationScheme=NTLM;integratedSecurity=true;user=<USER+AD>;

    Thank you for your response. I am waiting for DBA to grant permissions to a database to give this option a try. One follow up question to Robert's response. Even though the User Name is mentioned in the connection string, should I also mention the same user name and its corresponding password in the respective connector UI fields?

    Hi Mahesh,

    Yes those fields are pre-requisites, else it will error out.  We can also move whatever you don't want presented in the URL to a properties file but lets test this method 1st once you get the permissions.

    Hi all,

    It may be preferable to use the Basic connector as opposed to the Advanced connector as we have seen a few issues with the Advanced connector that doesn't affect the Basic connector.

    This blog post provides few steps on how to migrate an Advanced connector to Basic: https://community.delphix.com/blogs/sandro-latini/2022/07/06/converting-mssql-advanced-database-connectors-to-b
