The "Connection String" popup in Admin > Connections isn't working for me. Report Portal 2.1 Build 113. It works fine for the trial version I have installed on another server. Anything other info I can post that might be helpful? I would expect a javascript error, but I get nothing.

The Connection String dialog is available only if your client has Microsoft OLE DB Provider of SQL Server installed.

Another way to generate a connection sting is:
1) Create a Text document on your desktop (Right click > New > Text Document)
2) Rename the document to test.udl
3) Double click on test.udl
4) Select provider (Microsoft OLE DB Provider of SQL Server), enter connection information and test the connection
5) Check “Allow saving password” and click Ok
6) Open test.udl in notepad snf
7) Copy text that comes after this line: “; Everything after this line is an OLE DB initstring”

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server is installed, but the link still doesn't work. :(
