RE: JDBC Connect problem solution

So I just get this driver (jtds-1.2.5.jar), put it in the IFS folder (.../JarFiles/...) where I currently have sqljdbc.jar that Scott uses, be sure the new jar is accessible by my RPG app and then change the RPG connect string? Nothing else needs to change?

You might also want to consider using the JTDS driver. It is many, many times faster than the Microsoft JDBC driver.

http://jtds.sourceforge.net/

// Uses Open Source JTDS Java Driver. Much faster.
MyConnection = JDBC_ConnProp('net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver'
:

'jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://10FOLDSERVER:1433':
MyProperty
);

The problem occurred when using JDBC to connect to MS Sql Server with
user accounts defined in our MS Active Directory that were
limited

to Windows Authentication.

The messages returned from Scott Klement's JDBCR4 service program:

1) Unable to connect.
proc: DRIVER_CONNPROP
stmt: 87000

2) Login failed for user 'xxxx'
proc: JNI_CHECKERROR
stmt: 224500

The error returned changed depending on minor changes
on the MS Sql Server user account that did not correct the
user account lack of Sql Server Authentication function.


As Scott Klement has stated in another thread; connections from system i
to MS Sql Server must use Sql Server Authentication.

From what I see, Sql Server Authentication must be set at three levels:

1) the Microsoft Sql Server instance

2) the named instance of the database

3) the Microsoft Sql Server user account

Because we had already addressed 1) and 2), the solution was to create a
new Microsoft SQL server account and define this account with
both Windows and Sql Server Authentication and use this account
to make the connection.
