It seems 'User Authentication' is more set up to work with Freeware OS's (Linux, FreeBSD). Windows users are locked into installing/using Active Directory or configuring LDAP, UNIX PW files containing unneccessary data for a windows environment. In our network all data needed for 'User Authentication' to SFISP quarenteen and access to customization of filters by domain are available to us in text files and MSSQL/MySQL databases. As a added feature to Enterprise DB, can the 'User Authentication'  data be stored there and written to text back-up file like the rest of the SF config, or an ODBC connector or text file reader added as an option to the 'User Authentication' configuration settings?

Any suggestions of what other windows users have set up other than using LDAP, UNIX PW, Active Directory or the Custom Interfaces would be Greatly Appriciated!!
