I don't actually do anything to authenticate for SQL Server access. I use Net::LDAP to authenticate users before they enter various unix based web applications. Since we have a mix of NT and Unix I want to use NT id authentication. Either way, you will need to ask for, or provide a user/pass combination. If this still sounds like something you can use I'd be happy to share the experience of getting this to work and code examples. FYI, there is also a DBD::LDAP.
