Can i use an Active Directory user as database user for Report

Hi

we have Business Objects XI R3 installed. I have a couple of report which query a sql server database. The Sql Server crew setup a separate database user (which results in a local OS account) .That works perfectly fine.

Now i got the request from our datacenter guys to use an Active Directory user. A user to test was setup , it has all the rights to the database ( as the sql server people tell me).

But i can't get the reports to run, i get always a ' The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.' error.

I tried user/Pw , domain\user/pw, user@domain/pw nothing worked.

So my question: is it possible to use an active directory user as db authentication? and how to i have to configure that ?

Btw . i am not talking about user authentication for BOXI itself, that works perfectly fine . we don't have an issue there.

regards Alexander

Is it a crystal report? Where is user running the report from? From Crystal or from CMC?

Hi, the report is installed via CMC with al the database credentials, format settings, default parameter. The user would start it ( view it on demand or schedule it ) via infoview.
