Error: can not connect to the database

Hello
First of all, let me tell you, I have no knowledge of SQL server at all. We
have an SQL Server 2005 that has been installed by an external company. I
have installed a new database on it, using the default settings that were
displayed on my screen.
When I try to connect to the database (I'm a domain administrator),
everything works just fine. If an end user tries the same the following error
is shown of the screen:
Error: can not connect to the database. ConnectionString:
Provider=SQLOLEDB.1; Integrated Security Info=False;Inital
Catalog=ZeugnisManager2006; Data Source=RBS-W11
I'm almost sure that my end user needs some additional rights to have to be
declared in the SQL console... but when I try to add a domain user in the
permissions option, the object isn't recognized... I checked that the Windows
Authentication is allowed on the SQL server, so I really do not know where to
start from now...
Please help me, knowing you should explain it as simply as possible... I
have no idea of SQL Server...
Thanks
Nicolas
They need to set Integrated Security =True in their connection string, and
make sure that the nt account they are connecting with can logon to SQL
Serve rand have a db acconut which has rights to the database.
Either that or they should use SQL Authentication with a SQL Account.
