Explain the ways of authentication techniques in ASP.NET
Selection of an authentication provider is done through the entries in the web.config file for an application.
The modes of authentication are:
<authentication mode=”windows”>
<authentication mode=”passport”>
<authentication mode=”forms”>
Custom authentication needs installation of ISAPI filter in IIS. It compares incoming requests to a list of source IP addresses and a request is considered to be authenticated if it comes from an acceptable address.
