We are connecting to an SDE database via and SDE file in server, we would like to use Windows Authentication and the service account the server runs under. But when I load an SDE connection file with Windows Authentication selected it does not pick up the windows credtiasl of the service account.
Error Message:
Could not open the Enterprise Geodatabase. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216118'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Bad login user}
Please ensure the connection parameters are correct (server=`egisdev-db.tnad.tasnetworks.com.au', instance=`sde:sqlserver:egisdev-db.tnad.tasnetworks.com.au', user=`', password=`***', database=`EGIS_UNMaster', version=`sde.DEFAULT')
I have tried reading from the DB using a database connection set to Windows Authentication, but we need to to use SDE connection as these are esri geodatabases.
Any thoughts?
