Title
Is it possible to user Windows Account for SQL Server connection from Coordinator in an UnTrusted Forest -
Description
When setting up the Coordinator to SQL Server connection there are 2 options:
- Windows Authentication
- SQL Server Authentication
When working a non-Trusted Multi-Domain environment, SQL Server is usually the only way to proceed.
Is it possible to use Windows Authentication instead?

Cause
VSTS155556
- It is know fact that SQL Server Authentication is of a lower level of security compared to Windows Authentication due to the way the password are exchanged
- Up to 7.0, only SQL Authentication was possible with security mitigation possible by adding Certificate based Encryption on the SQL Server
-
Resolution
Solution
- Change Auditor now support connection across non-Trusted Domain via Windows Authentication since 7.0
- The documentation will be updated as per VSTS155556
