how can i check authentication mode

JoCodes 4-Feb-14 4:46am

It will be in Web.Config

Member 10263519 4-Feb-14 4:54am

there is no authentication configuration.
only connection string is there



<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetframework="4.0">

<connectionstrings>
<add name="myConnectionString" connectionstring="Server=localhost;Database=rewards;User ID=root;Password=root;Integrated Security=True;Allow User Variables=true" providername="System.Data.MySqlClient=">

You should install and use IIS version 7 and not 5.1, and there will be no credentials!
