Configure Windows Authentication Login

Follow the instructions below for setting up your Windows Authentication Login.

SCS-VR Setup Console and the SCS-VR Service run as different users by default. To use Windows Authentication, the database administrator will need to set up logins with appropriate authority on the VR databases.

  • If the service and database are on the same machine, the service login will look something like:
    NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

  • If the service and database are not on the same machine, the service login will look something like: <domainname>\<machinename>\$.

Launch the Service

  1. Open the Database Configurator.

  2. Turn on Use Windows Auth.

  3. Select Test Connection.

Setup Console

In the Setup Console, leave the Username and Password field blank.
