JDBC Driver

It is recommended to use the official Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server (v4.0) to connect PDI to a Microsoft SQL Server.

For Integrated Security authentication, the JDBC driver requires the bundled "DLL" file to also be added.  The DLL file can be added to the "libswt/win64/" directory of the data-integration client.

Open-Source MS SQL Driver (jTDS)

The jTDS driver is used to connect to MS SQL Server. Most questions can be solved by the jTDS FAQ:

Windows Single Sign On (SSO) Authentication using NTLM

Just leave the username and password blank and jTDS uses the ntlmauth.dll that is placed in the distributions \libswt\win32 folder and logs on with the logged in user credentials.
