In the Server Configuration Tool, click the Database tab.

  1. In Server Name, enter the fully qualified domain name (if there is an instance name, include it) of the server hosting the database. For example, SQLTest.domain.com\DellDB.

    Dell recommends using a fully qualified domain name, although an IP address may be used.

    When using a non-default SQL Server instance, you must specify the dynamic port of the instance in Port:. As an alternative, enable the SQL Server Browser service and ensure that UDP port 1434 is open. For more information, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh510203(v=sql.120).aspx.

  3. In Database, enter the name of the database.

  4. In Authentication:, select either Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication. If you choose Windows Authentication, the same credentials that were used to log in to Windows is used for authentication (User Name and Password are not editable).

  5. In User Name:, enter the appropriate user name associated with this database.

  6. In Password:, enter the password for the user name listed in User Name.

  7. From the top menu, select Configuration > Save. If prompted, confirm the save.

  8. To test the database configuration, from the top menu, select Actions > Test Database Configuration. The Configuration Wizard launches.

  9. At the Configuration Test window, read the test information and click Next.

  10. If you chose Windows Authentication in the Database tab, you can optionally enter alternate credentials to allow the use of the same credentials used to run the Security Management Server. Click Next.

  11. At the Test Configuration window, the results of the Test Connection Settings, Compatibility Test, and the Database Migrated Test display.

  12. Click Finish.

NOTE:

If either the SQL database or SQL instance is configured with a non-default collation, the non-default collation must be case-insensitive. For a list of collations and case sensitivity, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144250(v=sql.105).aspx.

When changes are complete:

  1. From the top menu, select Configuration > Save. If prompted, confirm the save.

  2. Close the Dell Server Configuration Tool.
