Unable to connect to database

Questions:

1. Unable to connect to database. Where do I find the credentials for the connection to the database? Tried to use localhost with disable https to access TBM but it just renders lot's of connection error messages 

2. We have a domain that we want to use for the TBM access. How can we connect the domain to the installation?

  • Hi Magnus,

    Excuse me for delays with replies. I'm off this week, so have limited access here.

    From this error, it seems that SQL server is not visible by the application. It's not about user credentials. So, you use .\SQLExpress. Two questions here:

    1. TBM and SQL Server are installed on the same machine?
    2. Are you sure that SQL Server instance name is SQLExpress? You could change it during installation.

    Also, one suggestion: please try to use machine name instead of dot: PC_NAME\SQLEXPRESS. For example, in my case it will be EUGENE-PC\SQLEXPRESS. You can find computer name by opening properties of the This PC in the File explorer.

    I will also send you a message by email so you can answer me there in case of any sensitive data.
