Erland,
Yes I am on sql 2005. I am using Cognos' ReportNet (Now Cognos8) to
connect to its Content Store, a database. I need to provide a user and
password. I thought I would set up a user on ADS and provide the
account and password.
Out of confusion/frustration/ignorance I created a local user within
SQL server and it works just fine.
(I have several SQL servers for the database, and I thought using ADS
for user logins and authentication would be better).
So, was my problem more to do with trying to connect as another windows
user with the SQL Management tool? (I did not try to configure Cognos
since I could not connect via the SQL Studio)
Thanks for your help and any other pointers
Rob
