Default Client Service Credentials

For Conductor4SQL to operate, it requires a login. The login can be configured to be either a SQL Server login or a Windows login. Using a Windows login is typically used in environments where Mixed mode SQL Server authentication is not an option. In this case, you can run Conductor4SQL under a Windows service account. By default the login created has a sysadmin role but these privileges can be lowered if needed.

To change the default credentials (a SQL Server login called SyncWorxAdmin that is created at each client) that all client installations use click on the Edit Default Client Service Credentials button.

Edit the credentials in the screen below and click on the Ok button when complete.
