TeamLeader Enterprise installations use SQL Server’s authentication and encryption for secure implementations. For each TeamLeader user, TeamLeader creates a corresponding SQL Server user with an encrypted version of the user’s TeamLeader password. This approach ensures that team members cannot access the SQL Server with 3rd party tools using their TeamLeader passwords.

Notes for Shared Host Installations:

If "Use Shared Logon" is checked, TeamLeader will NOT create separate SQL Server user accounts, but will instead share a single SQL Server account that uses an encrypted version of a shared TeamLeader password. To configure, you must

1.    Determine a shared password to be used

2.    Send an email to support@virtualglobal.com to request an encrypted version of that password

3.    Manually set up a SQL Server User with the encrypted version of the shared password

4.    Use the TeamLeader Setup Wizard to configure the SQL Server database using the original (unencrypted) version of the password.

Note: Only the original (unencrypted) password is shared with team members. This approach ensures that team members cannot access the SQL Server inappropriately using 3rd party tools with the shared TeamLeader password.
