How to connect TFS 2012 with a remote database using sql server authentication?

Question

I am trying to use a remote dabase for TFS 2012 using SQL Server authentication. I can not use Windows authentication because my database is in a different domain.

Can anyone tell me, how can I achieve this?

Answer 1

Can't be done. Windows authentication is required. See this msdn topic.

You should consider using SQL Express, which comes with the tfs 2012 basic install. This way you can have a local instance of SQL Server.
