I would appreciate a detailed explanation. Your example would not work. What is "(local)"? Should the IP address be enclosed? Why doesn't your new example include "trusted_connection=true;" included in the deployment link?
Here is the connection string I am using:
209.147.121.132;Database=db1;uid=admin;pwd=pass;
(I have changed the database, username, and password for security reasons). I received "209.147.121.132;Database" keyword not supported. Please note this is the exact "connection string" used in my DNN instance. Most DNN applications include a PA self-loading module or at least better documentation. Please help.
