I have two apps that use Integrated Security. One assigns Integrated Security = true
in the connection string, and the other sets Integrated Security = SSPI
.
What is the difference between SSPI
and true
in the context of Integrated Security?

According to Microsoft they are the same thing.
When
false
, User ID and Password are specified in the connection. When true, the current Windows account credentials are used for authentication.Recognized values are
true
,false
,yes
,no
, andsspi
(strongly recommended), which is equivalent totrue

Integrated Security=true;
doesn't work in all SQL providers, it throws an exception when used with theOleDb
provider.So basically
Integrated Security=SSPI;
is preferred since works with bothSQLClient
&OleDB
provider.Here's the full set of syntaxes according to MSDN - Connection String Syntax (ADO.NET)

Using Windows Authentication
To connect to the database server is recommended to use Windows Authentication, commonly known as integrated security. To specify the Windows authentication, you can use any of the following two key-value pairs with the data provider. NET Framework for SQL Server:
However, only the second works with the data provider .NET Framework OleDb. If you set
Integrated Security = true
for ConnectionString an exception is thrown.To specify the Windows authentication in the data provider. NET Framework for ODBC, you should use the following key-value pair.

Many questions get answers if we use
.Net Reflector
to see the actual code ofSqlConnection
:)true
andsspi
are the same:EDIT 20.02.2018 Now in .Net Core we can see its open source on github! Search for ConvertValueToIntegratedSecurityInternal method:

Integrated Security = False : User ID and Password are specified in the connection. Integrated Security = true : the current Windows account credentials are used for authentication.
Integrated Security = SSPI : this is equivalant to true.
We can avoid the username and password attributes from the connection string and use the Integrated Security

Let me start with
Integrated Security = false
false
User ID and Password are specified in the connection string.true
Windows account credentials are used for authentication.Recognized values are
true
,false
,yes
,no
, andSSPI
.If
User ID
andPassword
are specified and Integrated Security is set totrue
, thenUser ID
andPassword
will be ignored and Integrated Security will be used5ssjco0h7#
Note that connection strings are specific to what and how you are connecting to data. These are connecting to the same database but the first is using .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server. Integrated Security=True will not work for OleDb.
When in doubt use the Visual Studio Server Explorer Data Connections.

True is only valid if you're using the .NET SqlClient library. It isn't valid when using OLEDB. Where SSPI is bvaid in both either you are using .net SqlClient library or OLEDB.

In my point of view,
If you dont use Integrated security=SSPI,then you need to hardcode the username and password in the connection string which means "relatively insecure" why because, all the employees have the access even ex-employee could use the information maliciously.
