I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. I am currently working on a project for reporting on a new acquisition the company have made. Unfortunately, the people I have to give access to the SQL Server are using Netware for authentication.

Is there any way to allow these people to log into SQL Server without having to create a SQL authenticated user for each of them?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure it's Novell rather than Microsoft authetication. I've worked at a place before that had a Novell network. It sucked. In order to use the SQL servers which were on Windows servers, I think they had to set up a Windows network as well just for SQL. Netware can somehow interface with the Windows network when you log in to Novell so that you are autheticated to the Windows network as well. Not sure how all that works though.

Unfortunately it seems that it doesn't work very well. It is working for some users but not others, which is why I was wondering if anyone had another way to do this. Guess this means setting up loads of SQL users.

Netware comes toll to sync nds with windows domain, user you created in nds will be replicated to domain. Then user can login nds on windows machine and connect to sql with windows authentication.
