Describe how SQL Server 2012 supports authentication for connecting to the database server.

What will be an ideal response?

SQL Server 2012 supports two types of authentication for connecting to the database server:
Windows authentication and SQL Server authentication. The logins associated with authentication on a SQL Server instance are distinct from the security principals known as database users that are defined for each database. Each login may be mapped to one or more database user. For database objects, permissions are granted to a database user and not to the login that is used for authentication.
