JMeter & the JDBC Driver Using Docker - "DBCP DataSource configured without a 'password'" mssql - sql-server

Question

This is based on the answer in JMeter & Gitlab: How to Install & SQLServer JDBC Driver?.
In short, the debug output below shows that the appropriate JAR and DLL are in the Java-path on the Docker image, yet I am seeing the following error in the JMeter output:
"DBCP DataSource configured without a 'password'" mssql
"DBCP DataSource configured without a 'user'" mssql
The image uses JMeter 5.4.2 ("latest").
The JDBC driver files I am using are:
mssql-jdbc_auth-9.4.1.x86.dll
mssql-jdbc-9.4.1.jre8.jar
So is it a compatibility issue?
I have JMeter 5.4.1 installed on my computer, and the test plan works fine using the local application.
Here is the output from the Gitlab job:

Answer 1

I don't think you can use SQL Server integrated authentication from Linux machine.
In order to be able to use the approach with the Microsoft JDBC Driver and integrated authentication you need to run your builds on a Windows Runner
In case you have to use Linu you can work it around using JTDS JDBC Driver and connection string like:
jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://server_name:1433;databaseName=your-database;domain=your-domain;useNTLMv2=true;
and specify your username and password in the appropriate sections of the JDBC Connection Configuration.
Also be aware that according to 9 Easy Solutions for a JMeter Load Test “Out of Memory” Failure article you should always be using the latest version of JMeter so consider upgrading to JMeter 5.4.3 (or whatever is the latest version which is available at JMeter Downloads page) on next available opportunity.
