Chapter 2. Authentication and security

Security within a SharePoint environment is a broad-spectrum topic, requiring a clear understanding of how users will authenticate and be authorized to access content. This chapter begins with a discussion of authentication types, and then examines how authorization is carried out at the farm, application, site collection, and site levels. Additionally, we discuss security-related functionality present at the services and service application levels of the SharePoint farm.
