# Integrated security

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}
***Integrated security*** is a Microsoft technology, which uses the credentials of the current Windows session and send them automatically to the remote resources for authentication.

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is available with [SQL Server](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/data-sources/data-sources-types/advanced-data-sources/microsoft-sql-server/) workspaces.
{% endhint %}

### Settings <a href="#settings" id="settings"></a>

To use integrated security, enable the feature in the ***User management*** window. The ***Password*** field is disabled because the operating system will provide a cached copy automatically.

Ensure the appropriate domain is displayed in the ***From this location*** field. Sometime the location defaults to the local computer. Click the ***Locations*** button to browse for the domain instead.
