I remember that. Not sure if the XML stuff would matter for our usage or
not as the one application we use with sqlserver is running a web engine
right on the sql box so it's really quick. I'm still learning how the web
engine sets and uses security but as far as I can tell the web engine is
running under a single user account and passing credentials to sqlserver.
So it's sort of another layer of security.
