Installing and Configuring on Windows Environments
While Figure 3.81 and Figure 3.82 illustrate the procedure to be followed to create a new user on
an MS SQL server with SQL Server Authentication enabled, remember the following while creating a
user on an MS SQL server with Windows Authentication enabled:
The username you specify should be that of a valid user to the Windows domain of which the
MS SQL server is a part;
The username specification should be of the format: domainname\username
7. The eG database is created in the MS SQL server’s database using a special user account. Next,
specify the user name and password to be used for this account. Here again, if Windows
Authentication is enabled on the MS SQL server, then the new user should be a valid Windows
domain user. Accordingly, the user name should be of the format domainname\username. For
eg., if the name of the new user is egdb and the domain name is sig, the user name you specify
in Figure 3.41 should be: sig\egdb.
On the other hand, if Mixed Mode Authentication is enabled on the MS SQL server, then the special
user account you create need not necessarily be preceded by the domain name. In this case
therefore, your user name specification can be of either of the following formats: username or
domainname\username.
However, if SQL Server Authentication is enabled on the MS SQL server, then the user name should
not be prefixed by a domain name. Your specification should then be only, username.
