Types of authentications in IIS?

Answer Posted / sri

IIS 6.0 supports the following authentication methods:

? Anonymous authentication. This authentication method
allows everyone access to the public areas of your Web
sites, without asking for a user name or password.

? Basic authentication. This authentication method prompts
the user for a user name and a password, also called
credentials, which are sent unencrypted over the network.

? Digest authentication. This authentication method
operates much like Basic authentication, except that
passwords are sent across the network as a hash value for
additional security. Digest authentication is available
only on domains with domain controllers running Windows
server operating systems.

? Advanced Digest authentication. This authentication
method is identical to Digest authentication, except
Advanced Digest authentication stores the client
credentials as a Message Digest (MD5) hash in Active
Directory on your domain controller running Windows Server
2003.

? Integrated Windows authentication. This authentication
method uses hashing technology to scramble user names and
passwords before sending them over the network.

? UNC authentication. This authentication method passes
users' credentials through to the computer with the
Universal Naming Convention (UNC) share.

? .NET Passport Authentication. This authentication method
is a user-authentication service that lets Web site users
create a single sign-in name and password for access to
all .NET Passport?enabled Web sites and services. .NET
Passport?enabled sites rely on the .NET Passport central
server to authenticate users; .NET Passport?enabled sites
do not host and maintain their own proprietary
authentication systems.

? Certificate authentication. This authentication method
uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates to
authenticate servers and clients.
