MSDE - Change servers ecurity mode

  • Hello,

    I have installed MSDE2000 on a Blackberry server and the Blackberry server won't run in Windows Authentication mode. It must run in sql server userid/pwd mode. How do I change the default security mode of MSDE from Windows only to mixed mode?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Checkout the following MSDN article.

    Probably Example B is what you're after.

  • If this is an existing MSDE installation you can go into the registry to key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer (or the instance) and find LoginMode.  Change this to 2 then stop and restart SQL and you will be in mixed mode.
