Targeting a Microsoft SQL Server

For each SQL Server server, add a target system (Manage the system > Resources > Target systems):

  • Type is Microsoft SQL Server .

  • Address uses options described in the table below.

Table 1. SQL server address configuration

Option

Description

Options marked with a redstar.png are required.

Server redstar.png

The IP address/domain name of the database server. The instance name and/or port number are required when targeting any instance other than the default one.

Alternatively, use the alias you configured.

(key: server)

Use windows authentication for connecting to database

Default is false .

(key: windowsAuthentication)

ODBC Driver redstar.png

Select an ODBC driver available on the system (key: driver)

Type of accounts to list from the server redstar.png

Select:

  • All (default) lists all accounts despite authentication mode

  • Windows lists accounts using Windows authentication only.

  • SQL lists accounts using SQL authentication only.

    (key: accountListType)

Trust server certificate

Default is false

(key: trustServerCertificate)

Encrypt

Encrypt connection. Default is false

(key: encrypt)

Discover DB details

Retrieve instance specific attributes. Default is false

(key: probeDB)



The syntax is as follows:

{server=<serverName>[\<serverInstance>][,<serverPort>];[windowsAuthentication=<true|false>];[driver=<nativeclient>];[accountListType=<All|Windows|SQL>];[trustServerCertificate=<true|false>];[encrypt=<true|false>];}

  • Administrator ID and Password are the login ID and password for the target system administrator you configured in earlier.

    By default, all connectors run the Bravura Security Fabric processes on the Bravura Security Fabric server, as the local psadmin account. To enable the target system administrator to run those processes, select the Run as? checkbox.

    If using Windows Authentication for SQL, enable the Run as? option for the target system administrator.

The full list of target parameters is explained in Target system options .
