Authentication Type DIGEST

Using Authentication Type DIGEST lets you use the digest windows authentication. WebOffice usermanagement then trusts the identity check (authentication) of the web server respectively application server. Digest access authentication is one of the agreed-upon methods (RFC 2617) a web server can use to negotiate credentials, such as username or password, with a user's web browser. Technically, digest authentication is an application of MD5 cryptographic hashing with usage of nonce values to prevent replay attacks. It uses the HTTP protocol.
