  I am very new to SQL server having mostly used Access before. I want to build an application using VB.NET & SQL Server.

  Many of my users are remote and connect to my Windows Server using VPN connections. IE they log on to windows locally and then connect to the server via VPN.

  What I need to know is... can I use Windows Authentication for these users? Can their Database log on be derived from their account on the Windows Server (given in the VPN connection) or must it come from their actual windows log on (local)?

  I would really prefer to use Windows authentication as giving my users another password for the database is likely to cause endless problems.

  Any help appreciated. Thanks.

  i think you will have to set it up where the VPN connects automatically, have them log into the domain over VPN, etc
