I'm reading about how wonderful Integrated Windows Authentication is, but there is only a few comments about how it's only good for intranets. So just to be clear, is it safe to say that this technology is not realistic for internet applications? I'm developing a desktop application that connects with SQL Server and I just can't imagine telling all my customers to configure a windows account on their home PCs according to my specifications. Am I missing somethimg because that seems quite unrealistic.
(of course, where the DBA has a close relationship with the users on an intranet, it's a different story.)
