TFS connection string with user name/password

Is the scenario where TFS app server connection to the DB using user name/password (instead of integrated security), a supported one? If not, can it be done tinkering with web.configs?

There is documentation for earlier versions where you can find a connection string: Services Web.Config File Settings in Team Foundation Server Components.

I also have tried the change of a db account for my tfs 2015 and this works:

  1. Find the web.config file under (TFS_Install_DIR)\Application Tier\Web Services:

  1. Change the applicationDatabase key:

But this is unofficial way and I do not know any risks ))
