How does one connect to using windows authentication and Generic MSSQL driver? We do not want to use the JTDS driver.

It appears that DB Connect 2 is not sending windows authentication credentials to Microsoft SQL Server. This used to work in DB Connect 1.

The dbx log mentions the following error:
dbx8302:INFO:BridgeSession - Caught Exit exception: JavaBridgeExitException{status=1}
dbx2005:ERROR:DatabaseInfoCommand - Error while executing command: Error getting database connection: Network error IOException: Connection reset
