Overview
You can connect to Microsoft SQL Server using the DataDirect 7.0 New SQL Server Wire Protocol Driver. DataDirect drivers provide security mechanisms, such as operating system authentication through Kerberos and NTLM. Operating system authentication allows you to get database access in a single sign-on environment. The DataDirect Wire Protocol driver for Microsoft SQL Server removes the need to connect to the database through connectivity components on the database server. The driver can connect to any Microsoft SQL Server instance. The DataDirect Wire Protocol driver for Microsoft SQL Server also removes the dependencies on database client libraries. You can configure the DataDirect 7.0 New SQL Server Wire Protocol Driver with Windows NT authentication. The DataDirect 7.0 New SQL Server Wire Protocol Driver is part of the Informatica installer. You can access the driver on the system where the Informatica Service runs in the following location:
<InformaticaInstallationDir>\ODBC<version>
You can use the ODBC connection when you run a PowerCenter session.
