RE: Authentication Levels

Windows authentication enables you to identify users without creating a custom page. Credentials are stored in the Web server s local user database or an Active Directory domain. Once identified you can use the user s credentials to gain access to resources that are protected by Windows authorization.

Forms authentication enables you to identify users with a custom database such as an ASP.NET membership database. Alternatively you can implement your own custom database. Once authenticated you can reference the roles the user is in to restrict access to portions of your Web site.

Passport authentication relies on a centralized service provided by Microsoft. Passport authentication identifies a user with using his or her e-mail address and a password and a single Passport account can be used with many different Web sites. Passport authentication is primarily used for public Web sites with thousands of users.

Anonymous authentication does not require the user to provide credentials.
