I have been attempting to install the latest Release Candidate of LS 2.0 on a development site, so we could check it out against our current live installation (which runs 1.92).

I can't get past the database configuration screen of the installer because it's attempting to use SQL Server authentication (our current site runs with SQL Server and IIS), though I'd like to set it up similar to our live site, with Windows Authentication based on the application pool identity in IIS (works just fine in 1.92).

Is this possible in 2.0? If it is, I'm not sure where to configure such settings since there is no config.php (does this get created during the initial install?).

Did anybody have an answer for this? Can the setup actually authenticate against LDAP or Active Directory?

Here is what I have attempted:

1. Logon using AD domain/user << failed
2. Started Apache as a service using the AD user << failed

Appears that LimeSurvey 2.x is NOT compatible with the latest libraries for MSSQL (3.0 from Microsoft). A search in the source code shows many calls to "mssql_[function]" rather than the new format of "sqlsrv_[function]"

Is there any plans on using the new libraries?
