Cloudpath can detect the AuthMode registry key within Windows XP, which controls the use of machine and user credentials during authentication. Starting with Windows Vista, this setting is obsolete due to additional options within the Authentication Mode setting.
Supported settings include:
Computer Authentication With Reauthentication (1) - Default. When selected, Windows will use machine or user credentials. When a user is logged on, the user's credentials are used for authentication. When no user is logged on, machine credentials are used. This is the normal option for user-based authentication.
Computer Authentication Mode (0) - When selected, Windows will try to use the machine credentials and the user credentials. Whichever one is successful first will be used. This option is used when you want to authenticate EITHER the machine OR the user.
Computer Authentication Only (2) - When selected, Windows will use machine credentials only. It will not attempt to authenticate as the user. This option is used for machine-only authentication.
Cloudpath is able to auto remediate this setting. By default, Windows XP will use 'Computer Authentication with Re-Authentication'.
