    Description

      In Windows, customers would prefer that our drivers allow Kerberos authentication without specifying a username. The driver can fetch the logged-in user identity via the Windows GetUserNameExA function. According to the customer, this is how other competitive database drivers work.

      Obviously,. this would be a drivers spec change followed by implementations for the various drivers. This customer happens to be using the C++ driver.
