Purpose

Determines which authentication method the driver uses when establishing a connection.

Valid Values

kerberos | userIdPassword

Behavior

If set to kerberos, the driver uses Kerberos authentication. The driver ignores any user ID or password that is specified. If you set this value, you also must set the ServicePrincipalName property.

If set to userIdPassword, the driver uses user ID/password authentication. If user ID or password is not specified, the driver passes the word "anonymous" for the missing item(s) when submitting requests to the server.

Notes

  • The User property provides the user ID. The Password property provides the password.
