Connect confluence to MS SQL Server using a domain account during Confluence upgrade/setup

[siddharth]

For confluence server we would like to use MS SQL Server connection with Microsoft Authentication Mode, while setting up the database as we are upgrading Confluence from 5.8.10 to 6.13

We were able to find an article to make changes to an existing installation but  how to do this during upgradation/Fresh installation.

Siddharth,

What issue are you having while adding the parameter to the URL during setup?

Per the article you linked, Cannot connect Confluence to MS SQL Server using a domain account, the first step lists how to do this during setup:

To address this we need to add a parameter to the Database URL so that the JTDS driver can use the domain when connecting to the database:

• In the database setup, add the following:  ";domain=MyDomain" to the end of the Database URL. See the screenshot below: 

My recommendation would be to add that parameter to the end of the URL. You need to select Setup Type > By connection string (Add additional parameters using the database URL).

Could you let me know if you're having any trouble with that?

Regards,

Shannon
