Explain what are the authentication modes in sql server?..

Answer / Bhupendra

SQL Server supports two main authentication modes: SQL Server Authentication and Windows Authentication.
1. SQL Server Authentication: This mode uses SQL Server login accounts for authentication. The usernames and passwords are stored encrypted in the SQL Server database.
2. Windows Authentication: This mode relies on Active Directory or a standalone Windows account for authentication. With this method, the user is authenticated against the local machine or domain.
