Hello nenzax,

The <authentication mode="Windows" /> setting in ASP.NET means that your
web app is relying on IIS authentication.

Which authentication method IIS uses depends on the settings in the directory
security dialog.

Kerberos is an authentication protocol used in Windows domain environments.
