Advanced credentials

The Advanced credentials are used to allow Devolutions Server to communicate with the SQL database.

Only SQL login accounts can be manually configured. With the Authentication type set to Windows Authentication the accounts are automatically pulled from the Scheduler Service and the IIS Application Pool Identity.

For further information about these accounts, please see Pre-deployment account survey.
