libsqljdbc_auth provides support for using Windows
integrated authentication with the Microsoft SQL
Server 2005 JDBC Driver under Unix operating
systems. SQL Server Authentication is not secure
and is difficult to manage in an environment with
large numbers of database servers, but it is often
the only option when connecting to an SQL Server
Database from non-Windows operating systems. This
library allows users of other operating systems to
use the more secure Integrated Authentication
method with Microsoft's SQL Server 2005 JDBC
driver using native Kerberos authentication libraries.
