What are the different iis authentication modes in iis 5.0 and explain? Difference between basic and..

Answer / Somesh Gupta

In IIS 5.0, there were three primary authentication modes: Anonymous, Basic Authentication, and Digest Authentication. nn1) Anonymous Authentication allows unauthenticated users to access the resource.nn2) Basic Authentication sends the username and password in clear text over the network, making it vulnerable to interception. It is commonly used for intranet applications.nn3) Digest Authentication uses a cryptographic hash of the password, which provides better security compared to Basic Authentication as it doesn't transmit the password in plaintext. However, it requires support from both the client and server.
