Windows Integrated Authentication
Windows Integrated Authentication (WIA) uses an algorithm to generate a hash based on the credentials 
and computers that users are using. WIA then sends this hash to the server; user passwords are not sent 
to the server. If WIA fails for some reason, such as improper user credentials, the browser prompts users 
to enter their user IDs and passwords. The Windows logon credentials are encrypted before being passed 
from the client to the Web Server.
Tip
You can configure Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later to initially prompt for user information if 
needed. For more information, see the Internet Explorer documentation.
Windows Integrated Authentication (WIA) is secure, but has the following limitations:
  •
Only Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later supports this authentication method.
