when we developing an application, we have a specical requirement: 1. Connect to a remote server(providing windows remote logon dialog), 2. Access to the SQL Server(2008 or later) database in that sever with the domain user account/password provided.
assuming domain user account/password in that serve has been added to SQL Server Logon group and we follow:http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2009/05/21/sql-server-fix-error-provider-named-pipes-provider-error-40-could-not-open-a-connection-to-sql-server-microsoft-sql-server-error/
But the question is that customer does not want the application persist the authentication(user name/password), can the SQL Server Database be connected without that username/password in connection string? and how?
Really thank you for your sharing if you have a solution or have similar experience before.
