ASP.NET Website Administration Tool Security Tab Question

[needin4mation]

When I run the asp.net website administration tool from Visual Studio,
and click the Security tab, I always get that it cannot connect to sql
server. What if I want to use Active Directory? Shouldn't there be an
option for that?

I know I have seen the Active Directory option online in many
tutorials. I am guessing I clicked something wayback that turned that
option off. How do I get that option back? Thank you for any help.

Check under the providers tab. If you want to create a new provider, you'll
have to do some research on that. I had a hard enough time getting the
default provider to work with my 2k sql server.
