SQL Server JDBC integrated security question

Question

I'm assuming that the only way to create a connection to SQL Server using the JDBC driver is using IntegratedSecurity=false and not IntegrateSecurity=true? I can see the arguments for having it only work with false, but I just wanted to make sure so I can clear any questions up regarding security with our client's DBA. Thanks.

Hi Matt,
It is possible to use integrated security with ODI, you need to have the JDBC driver and the sqljdbc_auth.dll file in your drivers directory.
Your JDBC url will look like this: jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1113;integratedSecurity=true
It is detailed in a note on Metalink (568070.1), here is an extract:
To implement the solution:
1. Copy the "sqljdbc_auth.dll" file into ODI "/drivers" Folder on the computer where the JDBC driver is installed.
2. In ODI "/bin/odiparams.bat" configuration file, set the "java.libary.path" system property to specify the directory of the "sqljdbc_auth.dll" file, as follows:
set ODI_ADDITIONAL_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.library.path=c:\oracle\oracledi\drivers" or, if ODI_ADDITIONAL_JAVA_OPTIONS has already been set, add "-Djava.library.path=..." to the existing string, as follows:
set ODI_ADDITIONAL_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Duser.language=en" "-Duser.country=US"
"-Djava.library.path=c:\oracle\oracledi\drivers"
3. If using an Agent started with "agent.bat" or "agentscheduler.bat" commands, the Agent should be stopped and restarted (in order to take into account the new Java settings).
4. If using an Agent started as Windows Service, then:
Stop the Agent Service.
Remove the Agent Service with "agentservice -r" command.
Edit the "snpsagent.conf" file (from ODI "/tools/wrapper/conf" Directory).
Add the Java Library Path to specify the Directory of "sqljdbc_auth.dll" File, as
follows:
wrapper.java.library.path.2=c:\oracle\oracledi\drivers
Recreate the Windows Service with "agentservice -i" command.
Start the Windows Service.
Thanks,
