SQL Server database can be used, or MSDE can be installed on the VPM server.
○ If you select a SQL Server database, enter your database credentials when prompted. The
SQL Server database can be accessed using either of the following authentication methods:
− Windows authentication—The provided credentials must match a Windows account
configured with privileges to access the database. The database must be configured to
accept Windows authentication.
− SQL Server authentication—The provided credentials must match a SQL Server account
configured with privileges to access the database. The database must be configured to
accept SQL Server authentication.
To use Windows authentication, select the Connect using Windows authentication checkbox.
Otherwise, SQL Server authentication is used. For information about configuring
authentication for your SQL Server database, see the Microsoft SQL Server documentation.
If you select MSDE, and an existing installation of MSDE or files used by MSDE is not current, the
server reboots after updated files are installed. Restart the Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack
installation from the Insight Control Management DVD.
NOTE: The database software is used internally by Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack. No
user-accessible data exists in this database.
