Advice on connection isssues

I have a SQL server which Authentication is set to Windows only, and all our
software that connects to the server uses 'trusted' connections
My question is if i connect to the server using a VPN , how can i make the
cnnection a trusted source so i can run software from a remote locationMap a drive on the client machine to a share on the SQL Server. This causes
the SQL Server to use those credentials when talking with the specific
client.
The share can contain nothing.
Regards

If so, then they should be able to use Windows Authentication. If the user
is never challenged for his credentials,
then the connection is likely to fail with Login failed for user 'null'.
