Research direction

Start by reproducing sqlcmd -E -S dbsrv2 with the reported sqlcmd 1.8.2-1 environment and inspect whether the CLI reads the system krb5.conf for integrated authentication. Done means documenting or implementing Kerberos-based database connection support so the command authenticates successfully instead of returning an empty-user login failure.
