Windows Authentication

This option relies on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) to provide authenticated users. All methods supported by IIS are permitted.

When using IIS, the provider module uses the authenticated identity passed in from IIS. IIS authenticates the identity using basic, digest, integrated Windows authentication or some combination of these. You can use impersonation and NTFS ACL permissions to restrict or allow access to protected resources.

For more information on IIS, see the Internet Information Services (IIS) Home Page.

If you select to use Windows authentication:

  1. Go to IIS and disable anonymous access for IBFA.
  2. Turn Windows authentication on.
  3. Enter the SoftRater Explorer and change the Intranet Credentials to the windows account that is to be used.
