Specify the Authentication Method

If you select Yes in the Do you need authentication to access these documents? field, you must select one of the following methods for authenticating the content acquisition process.

  • BASIC specifies to use plain text user name and password information. You can also specify an optional Kerberos realm, which may be required for environments that are configured to trust non-Windows Kerberos realms.

  • NTLM specifies to use Windows NT LAN Management protocol for access to servers using Integrated Windows Authentication for HTTP authentication. You must specify the domain in which the user name and password are valid, and you can also specify an optional Kerberos realm, which may be required for environments that are configured to trust non-Windows Kerberos realms.

  • NONE enables you to specify only required additional authentication information, such as form data, proxy server information, and cookie values, if no user name and password are required.
