Is Windows authentication the same as SSO?
Windows authentication with SSO works the same way as Windows Authentication managed by IIS with respect to security zones. However, there are some differences. The SSO server will authenticate the user once.
What is Windows SSO?
Single sign-on is an authentication method that allows users to sign in using one set of credentials to multiple independent software systems. Using SSO means a user doesn't have to sign in to every application they use.
What is the difference between a Windows authentication and a SQL Server authentication?
Connecting Through Windows Authentication
This means that the user identity is confirmed by Windows. SQL Server does not ask for the password, and does not perform the identity validation. Windows Authentication is the default authentication mode, and is much more secure than SQL Server Authentication.
