Just finished testing and I cannot get Win Auth to work. I've tried all
the variations that I can think of:

user='billw', user='Emcorp\billw', user='[EMAIL PROTECTED]', user='\:',
user='\\', etc.

(Emcorp being our domain) along with appropriate passwords (and no
password, etc.)

I tried these variations with the server set to Mixed and to Win Auth
only. The good news is that removing the port makes incorrect logins
fail in two seconds, where I was waiting for a time out before. ;-)

I believe Carl suggested that using Win Auth, simply "knocking" on the
door should prompt Sql to check if the "knocker" has the appropriate
credentials. I agree with this, but suspect that pymssql is not set up
to accommodate this. If you supply no user it defaults to "sa" for
example. (I did override this behavior as well, no dice). It would seem
to me that if the capability existed it would be in the pymssql
connection parameters as well, ie:

def connect(dsn = None, user = "sa", password = "", host = ".", database
= "master"):

would be:

def connect(dsn = None, user = "sa", password = "", host = ".", database
= "master", authtype = "SQL"):

or something like that.

Would it be worth trying to get in touch with the pymssql author? I
would do it if asked, but I suspect Ed or another Dabo developer might
get better traction.

Thanks,
Bill.
