Make sure you've installed the driver. See http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.0.3/DeployDBX/ConfigureDBConnectsettings

Thank you, i installed the 4.2 driver version.

Now I'm receiving an error for login failed:

"Internal server error, originalErrorMessage=Login failed for user 'domain\user'. ClientConnectionId: ....."

While this user is working for 'splunk db connect 1'

Thanks !

an update.
this is a windows domain user. i assume i need to use the "MSSQL with windows authentication"

while trying to use it, I'm receiving the following:

"Internal server error, originalErrorMessage=This driver is not configured for integrated authentication"
