UseDigestSSP

  • Article

The UseDigestSSP property is used by Advanced Digest authentication to switch between the older version of Digest authentication and the newer Advanced Digest security support provider interface (SSPI) codes.

If this property is set to true, the SSPI code for Advanced Digest is used. In all other cases ( false, empty or not set), IIS uses the older version of Digest autentication.

If the older version of Digest authentication is used and dedicated application mode is selected, the LocalSystem account must be used as the identity.

For more information, see Digest Authentication and Advanced Digest Authentication in the Internet Information Services 6.0 Product Documentation.
