  • Authentication methods

  • Integration availability of the client application

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 contain several new features for authentication and authorization that help to make it easier to develop and deploy solutions.

Authentication is the process of validating a user's identity. After a user's identity is validated, the authorization process determines which sites, content, and other features a user can access.

In Office SharePoint Server 2007, the authentication process is managed by Internet Information Services (IIS). After IIS performs authentication of users, the security features in Office SharePoint Server 2007 perform the authorization process.

Authentication methods

There are three types of authentication methods:

  • Windows

  • ASP.NET forms

  • Web Single Sign-On (SSO)

By default, client integration is not available in ASP.NET forms and Web Single Sign-On authentication.
