If you mean "Secure Password Authentication" (SPA), you can't. SPA is a
Microsoft proprietary authentication protocol, introduced years ago with
The Microsoft Network. It authenticates users to a SQL Server backend, but
how it all works is a deep and dark secret... (it doesn't actually work
very well -- viz. all the irate messages from enraged MSN users in the MS
newsgroups).
