Precreating a database for Windows authentication

This topic describes how to precreate a database for Windows authentication.

Before you begin

Complete the Installation worksheets for BMC Digital Workplace.

To precreate a database for Windows authentication

1. Create a single user and schema in your domain (for example,domainName\DWP_Business).

2. Precreate the database schema by running a script similar to the following example script:

   USE master
   GO
   CREATE DATABASE DWP
   GO
   use DWP
   GO
   CREATE LOGIN [<Domain name>\DWP_Business] FROM WINDOWS;
   GO 
   CREATE USER [<Domain name>\DWP_Business] from LOGIN [<Domain name>\DWP_Business]
   GO
   CREATE SCHEMA DWP_Business AUTHORIZATION [<Domain name>\DWP_Business]
   GO
   ALTER USER [<Domain name>\DWP_Business] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = DWP_Business
   GO
   GRANT CONNECT,CREATE TABLE,CREATE SCHEMA TO [<Domain name>\DWP_Business]
   GO

3. On your installation worksheet, write the database name, user, and password.
4. During installation select the precreated db option.

5. Enter the user name as domainName\DWP_Business (example from Step 1) and the domain password.

   Note

   Enter the same user name in the Business user name and System user name fields, and the same password in the Business user password and System user password fields.

6. (For upgrade) If you set the Network security: LAN Manager authentication level field to Send NTLMv2 response only/refuse LM & NTLM, select the Use NTLMv2 check box during upgrade.
