When configuring password authentication, you indicate which authentication type you are going to use. As stated previously in the section "Security," the type of authentication you select depends on what is supported by your Web browser.
To see what authentication methods work with your browser, see "Troubleshooting and Common Issues" on the Web page titled Web Administration of Microsoft Windows NT Server located at: http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/webadmin/webadmin.htm.
