To connect to the Azure SQL database using a Windows authenticated account, perform the following:

• Select Windows Authentication checkbox when creating the collector using "Create New Collector" dialog.

  Note: Do not specify the username and password when updating database connection details.

• Specify the path to the Database Agent authentication library as follows:

  Version Details	Path
  Windows 64-bit	java -Djava.library.path="C:\dbagent_install_dir\auth\x64" -jar db-agent.jar
  Windows 32-bit	java -Djava.library.path="C:\dbagent_install_dir\auth\x86" -jar db-agent.jar

• Ensure that the Windows account user has appropriate privileges to authenticate the database server and can start the database agent.
• Change the logon credentials of the service to the Windows account with SQL Server access, if using a Windows service to run the Database Agent.
