Support is now available for NTLM authentication to Microsoft SQL Server through SAS/ACCESS Interface to Microsoft SQL Server. To enable this feature, the release of the DataDirect SQL Wire Protocol 7.0.1 driver must be downloaded from the SAS website.

Use the following odbc.ini entry to initiate NTLM authentication:
AuthenticationMethod=9
Your LIBNAME statement requires a Windows user ID and password:
libname myconn sqlsvr dsn=MySQLDSN user="Domain\userid" password="WindowsPassword" schema=MySchema;
