Connection string using Windows Authentication

Question

I am creating a website, but in the database I use windows authentication.

I know that you use this for SQL authentication

Answer 1

For connecting to a sql server database via Windows authentication basically needs which server you want to connect , what is your database name , Integrated Security info and provider name.

Basically this works:

Setting Integrated Security field true means basically you want to reach database via Windows authentication, if you set this field false Windows authentication will not work.

It is also working different according which provider you are using.

• SqlClient both Integrated Security=true; or IntegratedSecurity=SSPI; is working.

• OleDb it is Integrated Security=SSPI;

• Odbc it is Trusted_Connection=yes;
• OracleClient it is Integrated Security=yes;

Integrated Security=true throws an exception when used with the OleDb provider.
