2.2 Change SQL Server to Mixed Role Authentication:
It is considered best practice to configure SQL Server instance to allow only Windows
authentication. However, some situations require that SQL Server authentication be used. There
are two methods to change SQL Server to mixed mode authentication after installation.

Step 1: Enable Mixed Mode Authentication in Management Studio.

As long as you can connect to SQL Server with Windows authentication, you can enable mixed-
mode authentication easily using SQL Server Management Studio.
1. Login into SQL Server with SQL Server Management Studio.
2. In Object Explorer, right-click the name of the server that you wish to reconfigure and
select Properties from the menu that appears.

mode authentication).
