Research direction

Start by locating the action's connection-string validation and reproduce the failure with the provided SQL Server string using Integrated Security=true. Done means the action accepts Trusted Connection strings without requiring User or User ID and can manage the specified database.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

need-to-triage

When trying to run using "Trusted Connection" instead of SQL logins, we get an error message from the action.

At least for local SQL instances, we would expect that the Trusted Connection should be allowed and we are able to manage our databases using this action. Using SQL logins only, seems to be a step backwards.

Error: Invalid connection string. Please ensure 'User' or 'User ID' is provided in the connection string.

Example Connection string: Data Source=< Server >\< Instance >;Initial Catalog=< database >;Integrated Security=true;
