<![CDATA[SQL Login failed: Attempting to use an NT account with SQL Server Authentication]]>I'm trying to connect to an MS SQL Server for some application monitoring. This is my agent conf:

SubAgent = dbquery.nsm

*DBQUERY
Database = id=db1;driver=mssql.ddr;server=SQLSERVER;dbname=master;login=DOMAIN\Svc_User;password=secretpassword
Query = ProcessMemory:db1:600:SELECT physical_memory_in_use_kb*1024 AS sql_physical_memory_in_use_MB FROM sys.dm_os_process_memory

This is the error I get in agent log:

DBQUERY: cannot connect to database db1 ([Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\Svc_User'.)

And this is the error I see in the SQL Server log:

Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\Svc_User'. Reason: Attempting to use an NT account name with SQL Server Authentication. [CLIENT: <local machine>]

The SQL Server is set to "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode", but I get the feeling nxagent tries to connect using an SQL account rather than an AD account.

Is it possible to connect with a domain user or do I have to use a local sql account?

(Using nxagent 4.2.461)

It should be also possible to login with the same AD user NetXMS agent runs under (in that case you should specify * as login name and password is not needed).

Best regards,
