Setting the ASP.NET ConnectionString to a specific domain user

Solution 1
You cannot connect to SQL server using a domain user/pass. If you wish to connect as a domain user, you need to specify integrated security and run your ASP.NET process as that user. See this page at Microsoft for more information.
Solution 2
You will have to use impersonate to do this. As far as I'm aware you can't pass domain usernames/passwords in connection strings only a trusted connection, .e.g.
<identity impersonate="true"
userName="domain\user"
password="password" />

We have a windows account in the SQL Server 2008 called drwho for example and a password. In the connection string we disabled integrated security and added User Id and password values.
User Id=THEDOMAIN\drwho;Password=......
However ASP.NET keeps thinking we are using SQL server authentication.
Any suggestions?
