- NOTE: Only one token type may be chosen at a time during the framework installation. If multiple token support is needed, then another token type can be selected on an additional management console installation.

- A. Specify the location of the Microsoft SQL Server Instance that will host the SEE database. Use one of the following methods to specify the Database Instance:

- Click Browse, to browse known Database Servers on your Network, choose the instance if shown.
- Type the NetBIOS name of the instance, e.g. "SEEDB-01." If it is a Named Instance, you must also include the instance. e.g. "SEEDB-01\SQLExpress"
- Choosing Windows authentication will use your currently logged-in Windows user account.
- Choosing SQL authentication will allow you to specify a SQL account to be used.
C. If required, Check "Custom Port Number" to communicate with the database over a custom port number. If your SQL Server is listening on a non-default port, you can specify the port being used here. This will need to be configured within SQL Server ahead of time.
D. Choose the Authentication method to be used to connect to the database.
NOTE: Selecting "Use SEE Server" will make this a “Managed” installation. If you would like an Un-Managed Installation, please follow this link HOWTO101975
