Is it a bad practice to use Integrated Security=True on a production server in ASP.NET?
Nope – perfectly safe*
All you are doing is saying that you are going to use the credentials of (usually) the Windows user that the process is running under in order to authenticate with SQL Server (as opposed to supplying a username and password).
In fact in general using integrated security is considered more secure.
(*) Of course it always depends on your exact situation, but in the general case yes its fine.
