4 Accept the default in the Database name text box or type an appropriate name if applicable.
5 Select the authentication method.
u
Select Use Windows authentication if you want to create the database using the Windows
credentials of the current user. The user must have SQL sys_admin privileges.
u
Deselect Use Windows authentication if you want to create the database using SQL
authentication. Type the User name and Password of the SQL Server user with SQL sys_admin
privileges on the SQL server instance.

By default, the checkbox is enabled. SSL provides a more secure connection between the IaaS
server and SQL database. However, you must first configure SSL on the SQL server to support this
option. For related information about configuring SSL on the SQL server, see KB article 316898 How
to enable SSL encryption for an instance of SQL Server by using Microsoft Management Console at
the Microsoft support site.
