I will be publishing a 3-tier SL client web application using the publish wizard.  The application uses an external sql server database; no intrinsic database tables other than for security.  My external db connection string correctly appears in the "Attached Data Sources" tab.  What I would like to do is to have LightSwitch create the application security tables in the same external database that holds the application data.  I am unclear on what I need to do to achieve this.  Do I input the connection string to the external db in the "Specify the user connection" field?  Do I check the "Publish database schema" box and add a different connection string with db administrator permissions?  The only schema elements I want from lightswitch are the security tables, so I am hoping that this will update the external db and NOT delete any existing tables.  Your guidance is
