With this setting, the user is prompted for username/password credentials when they access Business Central. These credentials are then validated against Windows authentication by Business Central Server. There must already be a corresponding user in Windows. Security certificates are required to protect the passing of credentials across a wide-area network. Typically, this setting should be used when the Business Central Server computer is part of an authenticating Active Directory domain, but the computer where the Dynamics NAV Client connected to Business Central is installed is not part of the domain.
