Purpose

If you set this property, you also must set the value of the AuthenticationMethod property to Kerberos. When Kerberos authentication is not used, this property is ignored.

Valid Values

The value can include the Kerberos realm name, but it is optional. If you do not specify the Kerberos realm name, the driver uses the default Kerberos realm.

Example

If the service principal name, including Kerberos realm name, is server/sybase125ase1@XYZ.COM and the default realm is XYZ.COM, values for this property are:


        server/sybase125ase1@XYZ.COM

or
