It is not necessary to have custom error tag but if you dont want your endUsers to receive the Errors you set it to RemoteOnly like this.

About Your Connection String, it is highly reommended that you do not use Localhost, i highly recommend not to use DNSName also, but only IP Address since the IP wont need to be resolved (Access Time to the DB is faster).
about UserName and PW, highly recommended that in Production Enviorment you use an Application User that has no permission other then run Stored Procedures in order to maintain Security

It is not necessary to have custom error tag but if you want to know what is the exact error you need to set it RemoteOnly like this.

You need to give proper servername ,databasename , userid and password in connection string in server.
Open Sqlserver in server and try to connect once to check whether the informations are correct or not.
