Fields

Name Value Description
Default 0

Use the default authentication (as defined by the underlying protocol) for establishing a remote connection.
Basic 1

Use Basic authentication for establishing a remote connection.
Negotiate 2

Use Negotiate authentication for establishing a remote connection.
NegotiateWithImplicitCredential 3

Use Negotiate authentication for establishing a remote connection. Allow implicit credentials for Negotiate.
Credssp 4

Use CredSSP authentication for establishing a remote connection.
Digest 5

Use Digest authentication mechanism. Digest authentication operates much like Basic authentication. However, unlike Basic authentication, Digest authentication transmits credentials across the network as a hash value, also known as a message digest. The user name and password cannot be deciphered from the hash value. Conversely, Basic authentication sends a Base 64 encoded password, essentially in clear text, across the network.
Kerberos 6

Use Kerberos authentication for establishing a remote connection.
