Is it possible to user Windows Account for SQL Server connection from Coordinator in an UnTrusted Forest (4300014)

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?

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

Solution

• Change Auditor now support connection across non-Trusted Domain via Windows Authentication since 7.0
• The documentation will be updated as per VSTS155556
