# Integrated security issues with SQL Server

Since issues can arise from multiple sources, when setting up integrated security on an SQL server workspace, we detailed a couple of steps to help out and diagnose the source.

### Steps

#### Retrieve log details

1. In Remote Desktop Manager go to ***Help – Application Logs – Report (tab)***.
2. Click ***Delete All***.
3. In ***File – Settings – Advanced***:
4. Raise the ***Debug level*** to 1.
5. Uncheck ***Disable stack trace***.
6. Click ***OK***.
7. Reproduce the issue.
8. Once the issue is reproduced, go to ***Help – Application Logs – Report (tab)***.
9. Click ***Send to Support***.
10. If you already have an ongoing ticket with us, please specify the ticket number in the ***Subject***.

#### Validate if the database is contained

{% hint style="info" %}
To learn more on contained database, see Microsoft's [Contained database – SQL Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/security/contained-database-users-making-your-database-portable?view=sql-server-ver15).
{% endhint %}

Run the following script to find out if your database is contained. Make sure to replace ***rdm-database-name*** with your Remote Desktop Manager database name.

`SELECT name, containment, containment_desc, compatibility_level FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'rdm-database-name';`

#### Validate if the SQL server is joined to the domain

If you execute the statements manually in SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) what do you get?
