BG_AUTH_SCHEME enumeration

The BG_AUTH_SCHEME enumeration defines the constant values that specify the authentication scheme to use when a proxy or server requests user authentication.

Syntax

typedef enum  { 
  BG_AUTH_SCHEME_BASIC      = 1,
  BG_AUTH_SCHEME_DIGEST,
  BG_AUTH_SCHEME_NTLM,
  BG_AUTH_SCHEME_NEGOTIATE,
  BG_AUTH_SCHEME_PASSPORT
} BG_AUTH_SCHEME;

Constants

• BG_AUTH_SCHEME_BASIC
  Basic is a scheme in which the user name and password are sent in clear-text to the server or proxy.

• BG_AUTH_SCHEME_DIGEST
  Digest is a challenge-response scheme that uses a server-specified data string for the challenge.

• BG_AUTH_SCHEME_NTLM
  NTLM is a challenge-response scheme that uses the credentials of the user for authentication in a Windows network environment.

• BG_AUTH_SCHEME_NEGOTIATE
  Simple and Protected Negotiation protocol (Snego) is a challenge-response scheme that negotiates with the server or proxy to determine which scheme to use for authentication. Examples are the Kerberos protocol and NTLM.

• BG_AUTH_SCHEME_PASSPORT
  Passport is a centralized authentication service provided by Microsoft that offers a single logon for member sites.

Remarks

DO supports Passport authentication for explicit credentials only, not implicit credentials tied to the account.

The following table shows the authentication requests that DO does not support.
