  2. Activate the encrypted data transfer between the ARM server and the SQL server. The encrypted data transfer must first be prepared as described in the following instructions: Enable encrypted connections to the Database Engine (© 2020 Microsoft, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/enable-encrypted-connections-to-the-database-engine?view=sqlallproducts-allversions, obtained on August 31, 2020).
  3. By default, the simple recovery mode (recommended) is configured for the Access Rights Manager data base. Switching to the full recovery mode is only possible once the initial configuration has been completed (also see: switch data base recovery mode).
  4. Specify the type of logon to the SQL server.

The instance name can be identified by using the services console:

EXCEPTION:

A standard SQL server (or higher) can be installed without assigning an instance name. This is then displayed in the Services Console as "SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)". In this case, the SQL Server Instance field must remain empty. The word "(local)" is displayed in gray as a placeholder.
