FEATURE REQUEST - NTA FSDB using AD Authentiation for SQL

It would increase database security if we could use AD authentication from the NTA FSDB server into the solarwinds NPM SQL database We would like to use Windows authentication like we are for the NPM database connection.

Using windows authentication is actually recommended as best practices for SQL from Microsoft: Recommendations and Guidelines on Configuring the Authentication Mode for SQL Server

All,

Just to add some color to this request, it appears you can use SQL or Windows Account once the NTA's FSDB is initially configured. However, during installation it only seems to allow SQL accounts only. This creates undo stress and work for Clients to create the SQL account then convert afterwards to use the same account already in use for Orion Primary Applications Server.

Best Regards,

Derik Pfeffer
