With this login type a database server will be used for authentication. The JAR file of the database driver needs to be added into the libraries directory of the server (a server restart is necessary after the JAR file was added) and the plugin Database Authentication has to be started. A valid JDBC URL has to be set as for the login (see documentation of the used JDBC driver). NTLM can be used with the MS SQL server and i-net Merlia driver, which is embedded.

This authentication method uses the logged in user of the database server. It does not use any user or username in a database table.

This database login can also be used for reports, e.g. to filter the data for the logged in user. To do this you need to create a datasource configuration with the database class com.inet.report.authentication.database.LoginDatabase and use it in the report.
