# External Supporting Files for Windows Authentication

This document outlines the external supporting files required to configure **Windows Authentication** in OvalEdge. These files are mandatory to enable secure authentication using **Windows domain credentials** and to ensure successful connector validation and connectivity.

The required libraries vary based on the **OvalEdge release version** and the **JVM architecture** (32-bit or 64-bit). When Windows Authentication is selected, OvalEdge relies on additional **JDBC driver files** and **native authentication libraries** to establish connectivity through Windows-based authentication mechanisms.

{% hint style="warning" %}
These supporting files are required **only when Windows Authentication is selected**.
{% endhint %}
