I am trying to understand concepts of windows authentication, forms authentication and their differences. I am confused. Can someone help me in clarifying this.
Thanks.
Windows Authentication refers to authenticating against Windows user accounts on the box that the application is running on.
Forms authentication is a stand alone method of authenticating in .NET forms that you can hook up to some other system, such as a database.
