Windows Authentication over Internet
PLEASE IGNORE THIS QUESTION OF MINE, IT WAS DUMB AND I WAS UP EARLY IN THE MORNING.
I'm building a VB.NET application that will access the SQL Server over the internet. As the application is being installed on PCs and company laptops can I use Windows Authentication to access the Server over the Net? This would save the user having to enter yet another password to a company system. It would also mean we are not sending passwords over the internet.
Is there any reason I should use Mixed Authentication instead?
Tia.

Microsoft recommends to use windows authentication much more than sql authentication. But there are cases like application requires sql authentication or the setup of heterogeneous environment (replication/linked server/from sql server to other RDBMS)
If you are 100% confident that you don't encounter any cases that works only with sql authentication. It's definitely a good practice to use windows authentication.

You can't use windows authentication if user is from untrusted domain, just like this case.
