I'm running MSDE, Server is "(local)" machine name assume "machinename"
and I'm connecting to IBuyStore Portal Database.

This connection works in .NET work
SqlConnection("server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=true;database=Portal"
)

This same string doesn't work in ASP3.0
'cn.Open "server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=true;database=Portal"

But I have to do this (ie. Specify the driver):
cn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=localhost;Initial
Catalog=Portal;Integrated Security=SSPI;"

Can somebody tell me what's going on so I finally know what "WinNT
Authentication" actually means! I thought all the above was OLEDB and
should work on both!

Thanks,

GP.

This is because on ASP.NET you are using the native support for SQL, and
on ASP3.0 its an OleDB Connection, that's why you have to specify the
Driver/Provider.

WinNT authentication (Trusted_Connection) would detect the user your
using to connect to the database (through IIS it would be ASPNET) so you
wont have to use USR=3Dxxx; PWD=3Dxxx; to create the connection and then =
no
passwords are stored...a little more secure.
