Properties

The following table lists the properties exposed by the WindowsAuthenticationSection class.

Name	Description
AuthPersistNonNTLM	A read/write boolean value. true if IIS automatically reauthenticates every non-NTLM (for example, Kerberos) request, even those on the same connection; otherwise, false. The default is false. Note: A setting of false means that the client will be authenticated only once on the same connection. IIS will cache a token or ticket on the server for a TCP session that stays established.
AuthPersistSingleRequest	A read/write boolean value. true if IIS automatically reauthenticates every NTLM request, even those on the same connection; otherwise, false. The default is false. Note: A setting of false means that the client will be authenticated only once on the same connection. IIS will cache a token or ticket on the server for a TCP session that stays established.
Enabled	A read/write boolean value. true if Integrated Windows authentication is enabled; otherwise, false. The default is false.
Location	(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) A key property.
Path	(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) A key property.
Providers	An AuthenticationProviderSettings value that specifies security support providers that are used for Integrated Windows authentication.
SectionInformation	(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.)
UseKernelMode	A read/write boolean value. true if Integrated Windows authentication is done in kernel mode; otherwise, false. The default is true. Note: Using kernel mode improves authentication performance. However, if you want to use the Kerberos protocol in a Web farm, you may want to set this property to false.
