I have some legacy vb6 apps using ado to connect to a remote sql db, using sql authentication, so the connection string has the username and password.

Are the credentials transmitted in plain text? Does this depend on the server adderss, as in, what if it were https vs http?

Since the sql server is on a remote host accessed via the web can windosw auth be used in this case?
