- Basic - The basic authentication scheme defined in the RFC2617 specifications.
- Digest - The digest authentication scheme defined in the RFC2617 specifications.
- NTLM - The NTLM scheme is a proprietary Microsoft Windows

authentication schemes).Note: For NTLM authentication, the user name must be preceded by the name of the domain it belongs to, as in the following example:
domain\username - Kerberos - An authentication protocol that works on the basis of tickets to allow nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure manner.
