    using a connectionstring for windows authentication

    Hi,

    I am migrating my Umbraco website from my development machine to the production server.

    On the production server the database is accessed through windows authentication

    How can I adjust the connection string in the web.config file of my Umbraco website so that I can acces the database with Windows Authentication?

    Thanks for your help,

    Anthony Candaelel

    In fact, if you open up SQL Server on your server, you should see your windows login under security -> logins. You can then copy the username exactly as it appears. (Tested on SQL server 2008 R2)

    ok,

    But if I look in my web.config file, this is the only connectionstring I can locate:

    <connectionStrings>
        <remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
        <!--<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="server=.\sqlexpress;database=aspnetdb;user id=DBUSER;password=DBPASSWORD" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>-->
      </connectionStrings>

    as your see the connectionstring is commented out

    Ok,

    I got my connection working with this connection string:

    <add key="umbracoDbDSN" value="server=server\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=databasename;Integrated Security=True" />

    Thanks a lot for your help, I just published my first Umbraco-site on a production server:
