    Need more information about your infrastructure to provide a sensible
    answer. Here are some 'leading' questions to make sure we're on the same
    track:
     - are you looking for single-sign-on?
     - when you are talking windows credentials does that imply AD & domain user
    accounts - or is this network a workgroup with just local machine accounts?

    Also a couple of pointers/ideas:
     - Generally you don't store passwords - you only ever store a hash of the
    password. After the hash of the password is verified, the password itself is
    discarded.
    If you do store passwords this is a BIG security risk.
     - Have you considerd ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode) as a possible
    alternative to SQL server?
