Custom Security w/ Standard Edition/

Hello...

I am trying to verify that the ability to use the security extension to use Forms based authentication is available (or not) with SQL 2005 Standard. I have read a few books and articles that state that only the Enterprise edition will allow us to use the security extensions to customize authentication and authorization. But a few recently have told me otherwise.

Does anyone know for sure? We use Standard edition...and would like to customize our security.

thanks
