Creating the Authentication Service Database

After installing Worksoft Infrastructure Services, you need to create databases for the following:

• Authentication service
• Worksoft Portal
• Scheduler service

The Authentication service database needs to be the first database you create. In order to create databases, the user must have SQL Server dbcreator permissions.

To create the Authentication service database:

1. Open the following site:

   https://servername/authentication

   Example: https://servername.worksoft.com/authentication

   The Database Connection Setup screen opens.

   

2. In the Database Server field, enter the server name.

3. In the Database Name field, enter the database name.

   If you want to use Windows authentication, select the Use Trusted Connection (Windows) option.

   For more information about configuring Windows authentication, see Chapter 1 in the Worksoft Infrastructure Services Installation Guide.

4. If you want to use SQL Server authentication, enter the SQL Server user name and password in the respective fields.

5. Click Test to test your database connection.

   A message appears stating if the connection was successful or failed. If the test fails, troubleshoot the database connection.

6. Click Save to save the database.

7. Refresh the screen to display the configured database.
