Set authentication mode

  • My question to you is;

    how-to set autentication mode with Query Analyzer

  • To my knowledge you can't (or rather shouldn't).  You can easily do this through EM and for the more adventurous via registry hacking (not recommended for ANYONE but an option as a last resort)

    IF you modify it via QA you could invalidate your session and then disconnect yourself.  In EM it warns you (I think).  This is more of a SQL server maintenance/management issue then a code development issue which is where EM does it better...

    Just my opinion.  If I offend anyone I apologize beforehand



    Good Hunting!

  • Thanks for your reply and the registry tip. I'm writing a osql script for an MSDE instance, that's why I'm not using EM.

    However, I have now found an article about just that, at MS Knowledge base.

    Thanks again!

  • The registry key that controls the authentication mode is

    hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer

    The value that you want to change is Login Mode

    The NT Authentication mode is 1 and for mixed mode the value is 2
