Having a person type a username and password at application launch time, and sending that in "clear text" around a network is a security hole.
So, when using integrated security, the domain/username of the person at logon time is used at SQL connection time - all automatically. Very nice and neat.
I'm sure we could start a debate here about the merits of both types of authentication.
That would work in an environment that all computers are in the Domain, that is not the case here. Oh well, I guell I have to enter all logins manually...
