Switching to Windows authentication

Please go through the section Installation Prerequisites for Windows Authentication mode before executing steps given below.

Please ensure the Windows user (who is used in MS SQL Windows Authentication) has Read and Write privileges before executing databaseManagementUtlity. You can grant the Read and Write privileges by executing the steps given below.

  • Open properties window of OpsHub Integration Manager installation folder (directory in which you have installed OpsHub Integration Manager i.e. c:\Program Files\OpsHub), it will show you the dialogue box shown below.

  • Select the user (to whom you want to grant privileges) from the Security tab and check Read and Write checkbox.

  • Click OK after checking the Read and Write checkbox.

If the database is on MSSQL SQL Authentication mode and you need to switch to Windows Authentication mode, then follow the steps given below:

  • Go to <Installation Folder>/Other_Resources/Resources.

  • Unzip OpsHub Database Management utility.zip.

  • Run DatabaseManagementUtility.bat for Windows system.

  • In case of Linux system, run DatabaseManagementUtility.sh.

  • Enter path for the installation directory.

  • Press 2 to switch to Windows authentication mode.

  • Provide Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 (tar.gz) File Path.

  • Provide Windows Service Credentials.

Note: If Windows credentials are not added correctly during switching, the OpsHub Server service will not be started. To avoid such an occurrence, the user will have to manually set the service log-on credentials for OpsHub Server Service in case wrong Windows credentials are added at the time of switching.

Follow the below mentioned steps to set the credentials in the OpsHub Server Services:

  1. Open the services application and search for OpsHub Server Service.

  2. Right-click on the service, select Properties and go to the Log On Tab.

  3. Enter Windows credentials in This account.

If the user is registered with a domain, the username format will be "{username}@{domain}" or "{domain}{username}". Otherwise, the username format will be ".\username".
