Wow! What a surprise! You are right! JTDS will do integrated security too!  
However, JTDS has the same constraint as the Microsoft JDBC driver! It also 
needs a JNI DLL that (in the case of GROOVY) must be pointed to by JAVA_OPTS.So 
I repeat my earlier questions:(1) Is there a standard directory location for 
storing the native code required by net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver and 
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver?(2) Why do groovy grapes, maven 
and gradle burden me with configuring JAVA_OPTS to point to the native code? 
Cannot this be automated? They already configure the CLASSPATH to point to the 
jars.  (3) OK, well, I guess they don't. So who do I submit feature requests 
to? groovy? maven? Anyone else? I just discovered that grapes keeps a separate 
and redundant copy of my downloaded jars from maven! I guess someone could not 
agree on the format of the directory for the local repository. So I guess 
groovy grapes and maven need to independently decide if the native code is 
going to live in the same directory as the jar files in the local repository?

 Jtds is pretty well establish, I'm not going to look into the other drive you 
chose. I've got it to work with Windows Security on windows machines just fine? 
Could you paste your code example, and URL and output?
Here's a url I've used and had success with for a windows based machine that 
was on a domain that we had credentials to. 
jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://DNS-NAME:1433/instanseName;integratedSecurity=true;domain=DomainNAME

After several hours I finally got my groovy sql demo working with the native 
Microsoft JDBC driver instead of the jtds driver. What a pain this Microsoft 
driver is! Unfortunately, the jtds driver is missing the integrated security 
feature.
(Actually, configuring the MS SQL Server ports to accommodate jtds is very 
painful too because it takes a lot of google searching to discover the 
directions for opening up the correct ports on MS SQL Server to accommodate the 
jtds driver but this is a digression).
Here is my version of groovy:
groovy -v
Groovy Version: 2.3.0-beta-2 JVM: 1.8.0_05 Vendor: Oracle Corporation OS: 
Windows 8.1
I just discovered http://www.groovy-lang.org/mailing-lists.html#nabble-td342217 
which explains that I have to define JAVA_OPTS with groovy instead of using 
-Djava.library.path=c:\sqljdbc_4.0\enu\auth\x64 directly on the command line 
like I can with java and now my groovy demo of jdbc/sql.newInstance works.

(1) Is there a reason I have to define JAVA_OPTS instead of using the command 
line like I do with java? (2) Is there a standard in maven for specifying where 
to store the JNI DLL associate jar file? Is it supported with mvn 
install:intall-file?(3) Is there a feature in grapes (or groovy in general) 
that will relieve me of having to specify the path of the DLL in JAVA_OPTS? It 
seems logical that mvn install:install-file would copy the JNI DLL into the 
repository so grapes would go to maven and discover JNI DLL and take the 
appropriate action of defining JAVA_OPTS for me.(4) If the answer is no, can I 
make a request for such a feature? Could the groovy developers just decide on a 
convention for putting the DLLs in with the same directory with jar files in 
the maven repository? Or would this require a feature request with maven too?
