Research direction

Start by reproducing sqlcmd -E -S dbsrv2 with the reported sqlcmd 1.8.2-1 environment and inspect whether the CLI reads the system krb5.conf for integrated authentication. Done means documenting or implementing Kerberos-based database connection support so the command authenticates successfully instead of returning an empty-user login failure.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

will it work with krb5.conf files to connect database?
for now it prints that:

[alex@archlinux ~]$ sqlcmd -E -S dbsrv2
mssql: login error: Login failed for user ''.
mssql: login error: Login failed for user ''.

sqlcmd version is 1.8.2-1 from AUR
