This is a very old issue. Why is it not integrated in the main product and updatet? There is mentioned "SQL Server Native Client 11.0" in "Server.pm" actually we have Microsoft ODBC 18 (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver16&tabs=alpine18-install%2Calpine17-install%2Cdebian8-install%2Credhat7-13-install%2Crhel7-offline#11). Could anyone check this?
It adds a dependency on Authen::Krb5, and if "--kerberos" is added, switches the driver from Sybase to ODBC so it can use the SQL native client, which actually has support for the trusted connection functionality.
The Kerberos authentication bit creates the credential cache that is to be used by the SQL client. (Which other modules such as Authen::Krb5::Simple do not create)
This is the code as we are using it in my organization. It has certainly room for some improvement (the driver string for the native client, or allowing use of keytabs), but I wanted to bring to attention that there was a need for such a feature.
It makes the script usable in this fashion : $ /tmp/check_mssql_health --server.MYORG.REALM --username --password '...' --database <...> --kerberos MYORG.REALM --mode transactions
