Changing SQL Server Connection Parameters

This topic only applies to Secret Server On-Premises.

Once Secret Server is installed, it may be necessary to change the connection string that Secret Server uses to connect to its database. You must be authenticated to access Secret Server and have the Administer Configuration role permission.

  1. Click Admin > See All.

  2. Type Database in the search text box and select Database in the dropdown list. The Database Configuration page appears:
