OK, 

If I understood well, I have to get the following configurations in these 
files :

 In /etc/odbc.ini script : 
============================================================
 [ODBC Data Sources]
 MyMSSQLServerName=MSSQL Server
 [MyMSSQLServerName]
 Driver = /usr/lib64/libtdsodbc.so.0
 Description = MSSQL Server
 Trace = No
 Server = 192.168.1.32
 Database = mydatabase
 Port = 1433
 TDS_Version = 7.2
============================================================



In /etc/odbcinst.ini  file :
==============================================================
# Example driver definitions
# Driver from the postgresql-odbc package
# Setup from the unixODBC package
[PostgreSQL]
Description = ODBC for PostgreSQL
Driver  = /usr/lib/psqlodbc.so
Setup  = /usr/lib/libodbcpsqlS.so
Driver64 = /usr/lib64/psqlodbc.so
Setup64  = /usr/lib64/libodbcpsqlS.so
FileUsage = 1

# Driver from the mysql-connector-odbc package
# Setup from the unixODBC package
[MySQL]
Description = ODBC for MySQL
Driver  = /usr/lib/libmyodbc5.so
Setup  = /usr/lib/libodbcmyS.so
Driver64 = /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so
Setup64  = /usr/lib64/libodbcmyS.so
FileUsage = 1

[FreeTDS]
Driver = /usr/lib64/libtdsodbc.so.0
Setup = /usr/lib64/libtdsS.so
Description = MSSQL Server
Trace = No
 
================================================================================



The  /etc/freetds.conf file :  
=====================================================================
#   $Id: freetds.conf,v 1.12 2007/12/25 06:02:36 jklowden Exp $
#

text size = 64512

[egServer50]
host = symachine.domain.com
port = 5000
tds version = 5.0
# A typical Microsoft server
[egServer70]
host = ntmachine.domain.com
port = 1433
tds version = 7.0 ## I added theses lines below
# MSSQL ServerName
[MyMSSQLServerName]
host = 192.168.1.32
port = 1433
tds version = 7.0
# client charset = UTF-8
===============================================================================================

OK.

I don't understand everything, could you give me an example how should I make 
the script in odbcinst.ini, odbc.ini and freetds.conf please ?

In my case, the php file refers the odbcinst.ini. Can you tell me how could I 
must my php page refers to the odbc.ini configuration , 
if I should use :
$dsn = "DSN=MyMSSQLServerName;UID=user;PWD=password;"; 
$cnx = odbc_connect($dsn,'','');
?
Sorry, I use the odbc connection and odbc functions (not php mssql functions) 
 for my web server .

I know nothing about Kerberos. The value of UID, is the authentication SQL 
Server login or Windows login  ?
Should I modify something in my MS Windows Server or SQL Server ? What should 
I do about this ?   

Thank you very mutch.

Best regards.
