Authentication Mode
Cloudpath Help :
Cloudpath can detect the Authentication Mode setting, which controls the type of credentials used for authentication.

Supported settings include:
Machine Or User - 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.
Machine Only (Vista+ Only) - When selected, Windows will use machine credentials only.

NOTE: This value is not valid on Windows XP. It will be treated as 'Machine Or User'.
User Only - When selected, Windows will use user credentials only.
Guest Only (Vista+ Only) - When selected, Windows will use guest (empty) credentials only.

NOTE: This value is not valid on Windows XP. It will be treated as 'Machine Or User'.

Cloudpath is able to auto remediate this setting.
By default, Windows Vista and greater will use 'Machine Or User'.
