Keep in mind that "server" quite possibly means system software that serves. It probably doesn't mean "the server is the box". The exchange is likely between the server system software and the user/device. In that sense, there is remote SQL serving, and that SQL "server" must be logged onto. You don't log on to the application.

Granted, it's not _required_ that logons happen. But how many business sites are willing to leave their systems open to the internet and not require logons?
