The recommended method is to use SQL authentication, with a SQL user account created during the creation of the database. This account has all the required permissions.
The password for this account can be encrypted in the relevant configuration files.
Integrated Windows authentication is supported only for components that are located on domain joined servers. Usually this means that the DMZ Bastion cannot use Windows
authentication to connect.
It is not possible to specify domain credentials in the Bastion configuration.
