The change I was planning is only related to the SetupActions class for windows 
auth, there's code in there now that isn't implemented.  You'd still have the 
DB setup for SQL auth, it just keeps you from having to know the sa password.

The services would still use the SQL Auth with user trade/yyy.

I think SQL AuthN is a holdover from the original StockTrader that was 
patterned after and using the same functionality as the IBM StockTrade 6.1 
applicaton. We may not need it for setup but for the current application we 
need it to run the app.

I don't see why the setup couldn't use integrated authentication but we will 
still need to have SQL AuthN turned on since the services are not hosted in IIS 
with a definite user id and so should probably still use SQL AuthN. The 
alternative to SQL AuthN would be to make sure that the user that is running 
the services (most likely administrator since we are running in an elevated 
command prompt) is added to SQL as a user in the database. If we are still 
going to have to use SQL AuthN we need to ensure that the sa account is set up 
with a password (hopefully strong) and we will still need the trade user in the 
database. 

I don't think we should change the application to use integrated authentication 
because that would prohibit some of the other implementations from calling the 
SQL Server database.
