Hi,

We are trying to install Bonita 2021.2-u1 with a SQL Server 2017, the database is using Windows Authentication to authenticate the user.

Does Bonita support Windows Authentication for the database user in SQL Server 2017?

Thanks,

Hi

It is not officially supported, as it has not been tested internally, AFAIK.

It may work though, do not hesitate to share more knowledge if you have successful testing.

Thanks.
