Do I need SQL Server credentials for SQL Server or OLEDB Connection

Hello. I am attempting to connect to SQL server databases where I have read-only access via windows authentication. Can you connect to SQL Server databases via Windows Authentication or do I need to use a SQL Account?

You can do both the ways. It's depends on your use.Whats's the challenge? Via windows you have to setup usename & password.

Hi Zach,

Please find my below comments:-

It can be either both the ways....

1. Connect to SQL Server databases via Windows Authentication:-Yes you can connect directly via Windows Authentication

2. do I need to use a SQL Account:-Your admin team member will provide you the user name and password for SQL.

Ajay

If you are using Qlik Sense, it gives you the option when you set up the data connection to choose Windows authentication or user name.
