Does anybody know if it’s possible to set up MSSQL 2008 to use Windows Authentication but users would still have to enter their windows password to log on (this would have to be accomplished by using Delphi 7+ADO)?
[Edit]: Just to clarify, the sql-server and the clients are all within the same Windows Domain.
[Edit 2]: I don’t want to write my own new LoginDialog but rather have SQL Server do that for me or let’s say the DBConn control.
Kind Regards,
Reinhard
If you really wanted to do this, you could prompt the user to (re-)enter credentials and then verify and handle appropriately based on success/failure. To do this, you are looking for the
LogonUserfunction. At this point, you could even allow a user to log into the database using credentials other than those used to log into the computer by using theImpersonateLoggedOnUserfunction. Please see this answer.
