[Visual Basic] Public Property UseSecureAuthentication As Boolean [C#] public bool UseSecureAuthentication {get; set;} [C++] public: __property bool get_UseSecureAuthentication(); public: __property void set_UseSecureAuthentication(bool); [JScript] public function get UseSecureAuthentication() : Boolean; public function set UseSecureAuthentication(Boolean);
true if the WinNt provider uses NT LAN Manager (NTLM) to authenticate the client; otherwise, false.
Active Directory will use Kerberos, and possibly NTLM, to authenticate the client. When the Username and Password are set to a null reference (in Visual Basic Nothing), Active Directory Service Interface (ADSI) binds to the object using the security context of the calling thread, which is either the security context of the user account under which the application is running or of the client user account that the calling thread is impersonating.
