Configuring SQL Server or SQL Server Express For Mixed Mode Authentication

The following steps may be required before you can complete the installation; first, check that the
database location, username and password are correct. You must also have SQL Server or SQL Server
Express configured for mixed mode authentication. The steps below are documented for SQL Express,
but are similar for all editions of SQL Server, using SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.

These steps can be completed even while the .NET StockTrader installation remains in progress at the
database creation dialog.

Steps to Configure SQL Express for Mixed Mode Authentication

Step 1. If you do not already have SQL Server Management Studio installed, download and install SQL
Server Management Studio Express from MSDN at:
