Is it possible to store a Windows Server user account in access table and have an application call those credentials to authenticate against a protected system?
 
You could store those details in there, but I'd be rather loathe to store details in a table without some sort of encryption of the text.

What did you want to authenticate against? Would it be possible to use Windows domain authentication so that the user of the access DB had rights on the remote resource without the need to store logon information?

I want to authenticate against local credentials.

I have two domains in which there is no trust between them. Basically a local domain and DMZ webserver. I want to store the credentials of a local user from the webserver in the database located in the local domain so that the database would use the store credentials when accessing drives/data on the webserver.
