How to change SharePoint database authentication

Question

I created a web application and specified SQL authentication. How can I change it to NTLM?

I tried under Central Administration > Application Management > Content Databases

but that only changes the credentials for the previously selected authentication.

I think you're looking for:

	Nope, I need to change how the SharePoint service logs in to the database. Instead of using SQL authentication, I need to set it to Windows authentication. – adaptive Oct 8 '09 at 21:47
	Ah - misunderstood. I don't think what you're after is possible (though I'd love to be wrong). Maybe a site collection export/import into a new content DB could serve as a workaround? – vinny Oct 9 '09 at 15:36
