I have successfully installed DNN 6.2.6 using a SQL Server login as well as AD 5.0.4.  I can login via DNN authentication or Windows authentication without issues.  At this point I would like to configure DNN to connect to the SQL Server 2008 R2 database via Windows Authentication vs. the SQL Server identity.  Is there a document or other resource that would outline the necessary changes to the web.config connection strings, IIS settings, etc.?  On my attempts, I am experiencing various problems including "too many redirects" loops.  Any advice/help is appreciated.

Thanks - Duane.

I don't know if anyone's done a document or not. I know I haven't just for the simple fact that I've never used anything but the SQL login for my DNN database. Is there a particular reason you want each of your users also connecting to the database itself rather than just a single user?

Mike, according to our Network Services group and DBAs, the usage of Windows Authentication provides a more secure connection.  Our other non-DNN applications are taking this approach.  Thanks - Duane.
