Default Value

"Negotiate"

Remarks

Together with Password and User, this field is used to authenticate against the server. Negotiate is the default option. Use the following options to select your authentication scheme:

• NTLM: Set this to use your Windows credentials to authenticate.
• Basic: Set this to use HTTP Basic authentication.
• Negotiate: If AuthScheme is set to Negotiate, the driver will negotiate an authentication mechanism with the server. Set AuthScheme to Negotiate to use Kerberos authentication.
• Digest: Set this to use HTTP Digest authentication.
• None: Indicates the service does not use authentication. I is not normally supported.
