If the web server is not on the LAN with the user, you should use SQL authentican. Otherwise, it's okay to use Windows authentication. You don't want to use Windows authentication for remote servers.

Solution 3

To add to previous answers, one reason to use SQL authentication is if you have users that are not in your domain. So if you want you can mix both authentication types.
