Security

PI OLEDB Enterprise supports the Security Service Provider Interface (SSPI), which is the Microsoft version of the Generic Security Service API (GSSAPI) standard. SSPI is an interface that allows calls of various security functions that use authentication protocols supported by the operating system.

To configure SSPI, use either the connection string Integrated Security=SSPI or select the Use Windows NT Integrated security option in the Login dialog.

Note: If use of PI OLEDB Enterprise involves more than two machines, as in the case of middleware scenarios, you may need to configure Kerberos delegation. Examples are if PI OLEDB Enterprise connections are hosted from SharePoint or SQL Server.
