SQL Server

To select a SQL Server database source you must select a SQL Server
instance. The list of published SQL Server instances is shown in the Data
Source combo box. You can also type into the Data Source combo box,
because the desired server might not be published. Windows Authentication or
SQL Server Authentication can be selected. Windows Authentication does not
require a username and password, but rather uses Windows user accounts to
authenticate valid users. SQL Server Authentication requires a login ID and
Password and is independent of Windows user accounts. You can select the
<default> database or select a specific database from the Database combo box.

The Remember username and password checkbox can be selected to save
the username and password. If this check box is not selected and you are using
SQL Server Authentication, you will be required to enter the username and
password each time a report is opened that uses this database source.
