Developing ASP.NET MVC Web Applications — Question 97

You are developing an ASP.NET MVC application to be used on the Internet. The environment uses Active Directory with delegation to access secure resources.
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?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as enabling Windows authentication allows for seamless integration with Active Directory, requiring minimal development effort for user logon. Options A and D introduce additional complexity by necessitating form-based login processes, and option C does not directly address user authentication.
