Configuring Windows Authentication Logon Credentials for SQL

When using Windows Authentication with the SQL Server database, the following services must be manually configured with log on credentials:

  • VHT Core Monitor
  • VHT Authorization
  • VHT Configuration Management
  • VHT Management API

Providing these credentials allows Virtual Hold to access and/or update the SQL Server database tables and is used when a service starts for the first time or due to a failover in High Availability systems.

Perform the following:

Note:
  • Configure the VHT Core Monitor service on the Core Monitor instance.
  • Configure the VHT Authorization, VHT Configuration Management, and VHT Management API services on all Management instances.

  1. Open the Services window (Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services).

  2. Right-click the service name and select Properties.

  3. Select This Account on the Log On tab.

  4. Enter the user name and password specified during software installation (on the Logon Information window) and click OK.
Note: Ensure the user name contains the domain name (ENTERPRISE\user_one for example).
