Create Microsoft SQL Server data sources with Kerberos and in different OSs

• Follow the official instructions to enable the protocol, check and assign a port number. Verify that other running applications do not use the same port.

  Name of the Microsoft SQL Server instance is MSSQLSERVER. By default, the port is 1433.

• If there is a ticket cache file on your machine and useTicketCache is set to true, run klist command. Make sure it lists your ticket among the cached ones.

• If ticket cache is not enabled on your machine, do the following:

  1. Run klist command and make sure it lists your ticket.

  2. If your authentication ticket is not on the list, run the kinitcommand with your username to obtain the ticket from server: kinit sqlsrvkrb. Instead of sqlsrvkrb, use your username. When prompted, enter your password.

1. To connect to the database, create a data source that will store your connection details. You can do this using one of the following ways:

   • In the main menu, go to File | New | Data Source and select Microsoft SQL Server.

   • In the Database tool window (View | Tool Windows | Database) , click the New icon () in the toolbar. Navigate to Data Source and select Microsoft SQL Server.

   

2. Click the Driver link and select the driver for your connection.

3. Check if there is a Download missing driver files link at the bottom of the connection settings area. Click this link to download drivers that are required to interact with a database. For a direct download link, refer to the JetBrains JDBC drivers page.

   Location for the downloaded JDBC drivers is the WebStorm configuration directory.

   

   You can also use your drivers for the database instead of the provided ones. For more information about connecting to a database with your driver, refer to Add a user driver to an existing connection.

   If there is no Download missing driver files link, then you already have the required drivers.

4. Specify the database connection details. Alternatively, paste the JDBC URL in the URL field.

   • In Host, Instance, and Port fields, specify your connection details.

   • From the Authentication list, select Kerberos.

   • In the User and Password fields, type your user credentials.

     To use no password, leave the Password field empty.

     To delete a once entered password, right-click the Password field and select Set Empty.

     

   • In the Database field, type the database name to which you want to connect.

5. Ensure that the database connection can be established using the provided details. To do this, click the Test Connection link at the bottom of the connection details section.

   

   If you encounter any connection issues, refer to the Cannot connect to a database page.

6. (Optional) By default, only the default database and schema are introspected and available to work with. If you also want to work with other databases and schemas, in the Schemas tab, select them for the introspection.

   

7. Click OK to create the data source.

8. Find your new data source in the Database tool window.

   • For more information about the Database tool window, see the corresponding reference topic.

     tip

     To see more databases and schemas under your new data source node, click the N of M button and select the ones you need. WebStorm will introspect and show them.

     

   • For more information about working with database objects in WebStorm, refer to Database objects.
