Is it possible to authenticate using Active Directory Password Authentication in Toad for SQL Server 6.8?
In Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio there's an option for this, but in Toad for SQL Server there's only "Windows Authentication" and "SQL Server Authentication".
My Login name is my email address, e.g., last.first#domain.com.
When I log in with SQL Server Authentication in Toad, it fails with the error message
"Cannot open server "domain.com" requested by the login. The login
failed."
Windows Authentication uses the credentials that you are currently logged in with to authenticate.
The SQL server will need to use Windows Authentication and your AD user name will need to be given access.
I was told in the Toad World forums that Toad for SQL Server 6.8 doesn't support Active Directory Password Authentication.

I been trying to connect my AWS based windows 16 server to a Microsoft SQL Server which uses Windows authentication. All I received from the team was the server URL and the database name, I been trying to connect tableau prep to the SQL but all I am getting is the
"SQL Server Network Interfaces: No credentials are available in the security package" error.
I have also enabled Windows authentication on the server but is it possible for me to manually add my Active directory username and password to the windows 16 windows authentication ? how do I approach this ?
Would appreciate any kind of input on this.
One of our SQL servers is configured to use both Windows and SQL Authentication, however, we are seeing the continues error "An attempt to login using SQL authentication failed. Server is configured for Windows authentication" in the log. From SQL Management studio we are able to access the server using the same user credentials using SQL Authentication but when one of the applications is using the same user credentials to connect to the SQL server then we are getting the same error.
You may need to restart the SQL Engine Service for the change to be applied. Whoever changed the authentication may not have restarted the service.
I've been using SQL Server Express with Windows authentication for many years with no problems. However, for a different application I need to use server authentication. I'm running SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.
Here is what I've done so far in SSMS:
Enabled "SQL Server and Windows authentication mode" in the "Security" section of Server Properties
Created a new server Login with 'public' and 'sysadmin' server roles
Created a new database user with the above login and assigned it db_accessadmin, db_datareader and db_datawriter.
When I try to connect to the server using SSMS and SQL Server authentication I get the "Login failed..." with 18456 error.
I'm definitely providing a correct password.
Is there anything else that needs to be done for the server authentication to work?
Thanks.
It is required to restart SQL Server after enabling the SQL Server authentication mode.
I'm trying to connect to a remote SQL Server Express machine using Windows authentication.
I´m logged on with a user with username Administrator, but when logging in, I get the error message:
Login failed for user guest ...
Why is not using the Administrator account?
Thanks in advance.
For Windows Authentication to work, the target machine has to be on a domain where your Windows credentials will be recognized. If the server is outside of your organization's control, it will not recognize your credentials and you will have to use a Sql Server user ID and password to log in.
SQL Server Express by default only allows local connections - you can enable it, but you have to explicitly do so.

What is a trusted connection in terms of SQL Server 2005 (Trusted vs Windows Auth)?
A trusted connection is the same thing as using Windows Authentication in SQL Server 2005. Authentication is done by the domain, and authorization is handled by SQL Server.
SQL Server can also use its own logins, such as the sa user. These are both authenticated and authorized by SQL Server. They are only viable if SQL Server is run in Mixed Authentication Mode.
MSDN has a good article about choosing the right Authentication Mode. It's a good primer.
A Trusted connection means Windows Authentication (i.e. a Windows login).
SQL Server has two Authentication modes: Mixed and Windows Authentication Mode.
Mixed has the option of SQL server logins (username and password) and Windows Authentication.
