Set default Database
Copy ntlmauth.dll to your JDK/jre/bin directory

9. Connectivity – Mac?
Open connections.xml file in your SQLDev Install Folder/.sqldeveloper/system* dir
<StringRefAddr addrType="customUrl">
   <Contents>jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://Server_FQDN:1433;instance=<instance_name>;domain=<domain_name>/</Contents>
