<li>For those that only have MSDE installed. You can change the authentication mode \r

- <li>Mono's SqlClient does not support trusted connections
- nor integrated security. You can not use this when connecting. You need
- to explicitly use a User ID and Password
- authenticated by SQL Server.</li>
+ <li>If you want to use Integrated Security (aka NT Authentication aka Trusted Connection aka Domain Login), you
+ will need to specify the Domain User ID and Password. This is because Mono is not integrated with Windows
