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 provider 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.
