Authentication

SQL Server uses authentication to confirm a user or computer's identity through either Windows authentication or mixed mode authentication. Windows authentication allows users already logged into the system to access SQL Server without additional login, while mixed mode authentication requires creating SQL Server logins stored within SQL Server for users to login with if not using Windows authentication. Logins grant access at the server level, while users provide access at the database level.

Authentication in SQL Server:

Authentication- process of confirming user or computer’s identity.

SQL server has builtin logins and roles. This is separate & parallel to windows users and groups.

We can just use SQL security and all administration occurs with in SQL server. There is no connection
between those logins and windows user.

If we use mixed mode, the windows user will be treated as SQL login.

System authenticate users by two types of authentication.

 Windows authentication
 Mixed Mode authentication

Windows Authentication:

Users are already logged on to the system & do not have to log on separately to SQL server.

Mixed mode Authentication:

If we use mixed mode, we should create SQL server logins which are stored in SQL server.

Note:

Login- will have the access of server

User- will have the access of Database.
