See [MSSQL Integrated Security on Linux Host - #4 by Kevin.Herron](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/mssql-integrated-security-on-linux-host/62138/4) and [MSSQL Integrated security from a docker container - #3 by declan.mccarthy](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/mssql-integrated-security-from-a-docker-container/64660/3)

this isn't really documented / tested / supported by us, but it seems that at least one person has gotten it to work.
