Dave, Calvin,

Indeed the MS driver only supports TCP/IP as a communication protocol and
SQL Server authentication. You could, however use jTDS: it works both over
TCP/IP and named pipes and supports three types of authentication (SQL
Server, Windows authentication providing a user name and password and
Windows authentication using a native Single Sign On library).

jTDS is also more stable and a faster than the MS driver.
