You are developing an ASP.NET MVC application to be used on the Internet. The environment does not use Active Directory.
Users must be able to log on to the application to maintain their personal preferences.
You need to use the least amount of development effort to enable users to log on.
What should you do?

A. Enable Digest authentication.
B. Enable Windows authentication.
C. Enable Forms authentication.
D. Generate server SSL certificates and install them in IIS.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
Many Web applications require a way to restrict access to some resources (such as specific pages) so that those resources are accessible only to authenticated users. The default Web application project template for ASP.NET MVC provides a controller, data models, and views that you can use to add ASP.NET forms authentication to your application. The built-in functionality lets users register, log on and off, and change their password. For many applications, this functionality provides a sufficient level of user authentication.
Incorrect:
Not B: Windows authentication would require an Active Directory.
Windows authentication method works only if the following two conditions exist:
✑ You set up your network to use the Kerberos authentication protocol that requires Active Directory.
✑ You set up the computers and accounts on your network as trusted for delegation.

It should be B. Integrated Windows Authentication does NOT require Active Directory. You can work with local user accounts perfectly while using Integrated Windows Authentication. Only Digest Authentication requires the computer to be joined to a domain (Active Directory).

Correction: after considerations I think C is correct and not B. Since it has to be used on 'the internet' and the question speaks about 'personal preferences'. So C.
