  • 1.  Does ILMT support AD authentication to the MSSQL database ?

    We would like to use Active Directory authentication to our new ILMT Database which is MS SQL.   Does ILMT support that ?

    Hello,

    During the creation of the 
    License Metric Tool database, you choose to authenticate the MS SQL Server database user through Windows authentication or MS SQL Server authentication.
    Basically, Windows authentication mode means Active Directory authentication.
    In this scenario a security token of the User which runs ILMT Server is being used to authenticate to SQL Server.
    The only requirement is that during installation specify the AD user account to be used for running the application service.

    Thank you,
