    Hello

    Another party set up the Server and Databases.

    First the Server was set up

    Windows Server 2008 SP1

    Then the Databases were set up

    SQL Server 2008 along the reporting Services

    Server Authentication - SQL Server and Windows Authentication

    Now I go to use Reporting Services with Integrated Windows Authentication and find Kerberos was never set up.

    So I ran this to check the Kerberos

    SELECT auth_scheme FROM sys.dm_exec_connections WHERE session_id = @@spid

    And I got

    NTLM

    SO my question is:

    If I set Kerberos now, will this cause any issues?

    Thanks

    FRED

    Connecting to a local instance is always done using NTLM, i.e. when on the server where SQL Server resides and connecting to a local instance.

    Setting up your SPNs such that remote clients authenticate using Kerberos instead of NTLM is transparent to the database operations within SQL Server and should not cause you any trouble.
