SSMS - Central Management Server - SQL Auth?

    Hey all,

    Is it me, or did they remove SQL auth from SSMS 2016 CMS? Authentication drop down only shows Windows Authentication and Active Directory Integrated Authentication. We have a few instances in a DMZ that need to utilize SQL auth and historically this was not an issue.

    Any insight?

    Thanks!

    CMS is always Windows auth only,
    but in the same section of Registered Servers, you can add Local Server Groups, and credentials for SQL logins can be saved there;
    the credentials are not shareable, unless you export and import to someone elses workstation; i believe they are stored in the sqlserver.bin file in appdata.
