When you import a layer from a database and select Other from the Database drop-
down list, the Connect to Database dialog box opens and ArcSDE displays in the 

Type drop-down list. 
To Connect to an ArcSDE Server 
The information needed to complete the Connect to Database dialog should be 

provided to you by your system administrator. Make sure you have the correct 
information before continuing. 

1.  In the Server text box, type the name of server on which the ArcSDE 

installation resides and the instance (for example, 5151 or esri_sde) in this 
format: 

server:instance 

2.  For a database with SQL Server Authentication, type your information in the 

Login and Password boxes. 
OR 

For Windows Authentication, leave the Login and Password boxes blank. 

3.  To save your login and password information, if applicable, select the Store 

login and password check box. 

Note  This saves all the connection information for the Database selected 
under Import From Database in the Import Layer dialog. 

4.  For non-Oracle databases, once you establish a successful connection to the 

ArcSDE instance, click the Search button to locate the database from which 

to import (only databases to which access is permitted are listed). If the 
search is successful, select the database from the Database drop-down list. 

OR 
Type the database name in the Database box. 

5.  Click OK and use the Import Wizard to import the layer from that database.
