- Create a database for RMsis (e.g. rmsis). Note that the collation type must be case insensitive, e.g.: 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP437_CI_AI' is case insensitive. If it is using your server default, check the collation type of your server.
- Create a database user which RMsis will connect as (e.g. rmsisuser). Note that rmsisuser should not be the database owner, but should be in the db_owner role.
- Create an empty 'schema' in the database (e.g. rmsisschema) for the RMsis tables. Please note that a 'schema' in SQL Server 2005 is a distinct namespace used to contain objects, and is different from a traditional database schema. It is not required to create any of RMsis tables, fields or relationships (RMsis will create these objects in empty schema when it starts for the first time). Read more on SQL Server 2008 schemas in the relevant Microsoft Documentation (http:/msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190387.aspx).
- Ensure that the user has permission to connect to the database, and create and populate tables in the newly-created default schema.
- Ensure that TCP/IP is enabled on SQL Server and listening on the correct port (the port is 1433 for the default instance of SQL Server). Read the Microsoft documentation for information on how to enable a network protocol (TCP/IP) and how to configure SQL server to listen on a specific port.
- Ensure that SQL Server is operating in the appropriate authentication mode. By default, SQL Server operates in 'Windows Authentication Mode'. However, if user is not associated with a trusted SQL connection, i.e. 'Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452' is received during RMsis startup, it is required to change the authentication mode to 'Mixed Authentication Mode'. Read the Microsoft documentation on authentication modes and changing the authentication mode to 'Mixed Authentication Mode'
- Turn off the SET NOCOUNT option. Open SQL Server Management Studio and navigate to Tools -> Options -> Query Execution -> SQL Server -> Advanced. The following screenshot displays the configuration panel for this setting in MSSQL Server 2005/2008. Ensure that the SET NOCOUNT option is not selected:
Copy SQL server driver to application server
Microsoft SQL Server Authentication Modes
- Windows Authentication mode
- If you want to connect RMsis with MSSQL database running using windows authentication mode,
- then leave the username and password fields blank while configuring RMsis database during RMsis installation.
- Make sure that the logged in user of windows machine (on which RMsis server is running or will run) has required credentials for RMsis database.
- Download the SQL Server JDBC driver (v1.2.
- 4)
- from JTDS
- If you want to connect RMsis with MSSQL database running using windows authentication mode,
- Add the SQL Server JDBC driver jar (jtds-1.2.3.jar) to the <Tomcat install>/lib/ directory.
...
- and place the ntlmauth.dll (shipped with jtds driver) file in the system path
- Mixed Authentication mode (SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode)
