What are the types of Authentication?
There are 3 types of Authentication. Windows, Forms and Passport Authentication.
- Windows authentication uses the security features integrated into the Windows NT and Windows XP operating systems to authenticate and authorize Web application users.
- Forms authentication allows you to create your own list/database of users and validate the identity of those users when they visit your Web site.
- Passport authentication uses the Microsoft centralized authentication provider to identify users. Passport provides a way to for users to use a single identity across multiple Web applications. To use Passport authentication in your Web application, you must install the Passport SDK.
