How do i configure Yii2 to connect to SQLSRV using windows authentication?
To configure Yii2 to connect to SQLSRV using Windows authentication, you need to make changes to the database configuration in your Yii2 application. Here are the steps to configure Yii2 for SQLSRV with Windows authentication:
Install the SQLSRV PHP Extension:
- Download the SQLSRV extension appropriate for your PHP version and architecture from the official Microsoft GitHub repository: https://github.com/microsoft/msphpsql/releases
- Follow the installation instructions provided in the repository's README file to install the SQLSRV extension for PHP.
Update the Yii2 database configuration:
- Open the
config/db.php
file in your Yii2 application. - Update the
dsn
,username
, andpassword
values in the'dsn'
section of the database configuration. - Modify the
dsn
to use the SQLSRV driver and specify the connection details, including the server name, database name, and Windows authentication:
Replacephp'dsn' => 'sqlsrv:Server=server_name;Database=db_name',
'username' => '',
'password' => '',
server_name
with the name or IP address of the SQL Server anddb_name
with the name of the database you want to connect to.
- Open the
Configure the SQLSRV driver for Windows authentication:
- Add the
'attributes'
option to the'dsn'
section in the database configuration:php'dsn' => 'sqlsrv:Server=server_name;Database=db_name',
'username' => '',
'password' => '',
'attributes' => [
PDO::SQLSRV_ATTR_AUTHENTICATION => PDO::SQLSRV_AUTH_ACTIVE_DIRECTORY,
],
- Add the
Save the changes to the
db.php
configuration file.
With these changes, Yii2 will use the SQLSRV driver and Windows authentication when connecting to the SQL Server. The application will authenticate using the current Windows user credentials.
Make sure you have the necessary SQL Server and network configurations in place to allow Windows authentication and ensure that the user running the Yii2 application has the required permissions to access the SQL Server and the specified database.
Remember to test the connection to ensure it works as expected.
