4 Accept the default in the Database name text box, or enter the 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.
Windows authentication is recommended. When you choose SQL authentication, the unencrypted
database password appears in certain configuration files.
6 (Optional) Select the Use SSL for database connection checkbox.
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 more about configuring SSL on the SQL server, see Microsoft Technet article 189067.
