Installing the vRanger database

vRanger utilizes a SQL Server® database to store application and task configuration data. The database can be either the embedded SQL Server Express instance — the default — or a SQL Server database running on your own SQL Server or SQL Server Express instance. For more information on the vRanger database and configuration options, see Installing the vRanger database.

When the vRanger Database Installation dialog box appears, do one of the following:
To proceed with the default, leave Install a new local instance of SQL Server Express selected, and proceed to Step 3.
To install vRanger on an existing SQL Server instance, clear Install a new local instance of SQL Server Express, and click Next.
Windows authentication mode: When a user connects through a Windows® user account, SQL Server validates the account name and password using information in the Windows operating system. Windows Authentication uses Kerberos security protocol, provides password policy enforcement (complexity validation for strong passwords), supports account lockout, and supports password expiration.
Mixed Mode (SQL Server and Windows authentication and SQL Server Authentication): Enter and confirm the system administrator (sa) password when you select Mixed Mode authentication. Setting strong passwords is essential to the security of your system. Never set a blank or weak sa password.

If you selected Mixed Mode, you are prompted to enter a password for the system administrator (sa) account. If you selected Windows authentication mode, the installation continues using the account specified in Entering vRanger service credentials.
