Author Authentication

Hello All,


i was wondering what is the main difference between the windows
authentication and mixed mode authentication??
according to security recommendations, we should enable windows
authentication, rather than mixed one, i don get the point why do we
refuse the mixed mode authentication, although it includes windows
authentication together with an extra layer of defense by the aid of an
extra authentication mechanism, sql authentication.

i hope i can find out why??
if anyone can recommend me some papers or books, i'll be thankfull but
i hope it explains from the security point of view.

Thanx for time and sorry for interruption
