Issue/Introduction

We have been using local SQL accounts, but now we need to switch to domain-level accounts that use Windows Authentication. Does Identity Suite Virtual Appliance support connecting to a database using Windows Authentication?

Environment

Release : 14.5
Component : Identity Suite Virtual Appliance

Resolution

Identity Suite Virtual Appliance (IGA vApp) 14.5 does not support Windows Authentication for connecting to a Microsoft SQL Server database.

The IGA vApp is built on a hardened Linux appliance and uses JDBC drivers for SQL connectivity.

Windows Authentication requires integration with Active Directory, typically via Kerberos, which is not supported natively in the IGA vApp environment.

As a result, IGA vApp only supports SQL Server authentication (i.e., using SQL local login accounts with username and password).
