Help with SQL Server 2005 DataSource

[kswiss311]

Hello,

I have a MS SQL Server 2005 database that uses my Windows Authenication credentials for logon. When I go to setup the DataSource within the ColdFusion Administrator, I receive an error after entering in the Database name and Server name. I leave the Username and Password field blank due to the Windows Authentication, and it still fails. I have tried also to input my Windows credentials into the username and password field to no avail. I have also double checked the port and it is correct.

Hopefully I can get some assisstence with this issue or provide any additional information for those responding.

Thank you.

is there a particular reason why you don't want to use SQL-authentication for the CF datasource ?
