Description
Creates a replication database and enables the configuration options on this page.
Lets you type the IP address or the domain name of the computer on which to install the
replication database.
Typically, the replication database resides on the same SQL Server computer as the Process
Manager database.
Lets you name the replication database. The default name is EnsembleReplication.
Lets you specify the authentication method for ServiceDesk to connect to the replication
database.
The options are as follows:
Windows Integrated Security
Lets you use a domain account, which is the most common authentication method.
If you installed SQL Server on its own server, you must select this option. Due to a
limitation in Analysis Services, Windows authentication is required for the database
reporting to work in an off-box SQL configuration.
MS SQL Server Security
Lets you use a SQL account. Because the SQL account exists only on the database, this
method authenticates only the users who have accounts on the designated domain.
When you click this option, you can type a valid User ID and Password.
If you plan to use this authentication method, the target database server must be
configured to support SQL authentication.
