Global MSSQL options

List of options that affect all MSSQL connections.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/mssql/options
Cookies
Cookie name Description Required Values
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).

The following command lists global MSSQL options.

curl --cookie cookies.txt https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/mssql/options
