Simple code and explanations to enable secure password authentication.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
	<appSettings/>
	<connectionStrings>
		<add name="DSN" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\mydatabase.mdb" providerName="System.Data.OleDb"/>
	</connectionStrings>
	<system.web>
		<!-- 
            Set compilation debug="true" to insert debugging 
            symbols into the compiled page. Because this 
            affects performance, set this value to true only 
            during development.
        -->

            The <authentication> section enables configuration 
            of the security authentication mode used by 
            ASP.NET to identify an incoming user. 
        -->
		<authentication mode="Windows"/>
		<!--
            The <customErrors> section enables configuration 
            of what to do if/when an unhandled error occurs 
            during the execution of a request. Specifically, 
            it enables developers to configure html error pages 
            to be displayed in place of a error stack trace.

        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="GenericErrorPage.htm">
            <error statusCode="403" redirect="NoAccess.htm" />
            <error statusCode="404" redirect="FileNotFound.htm" />
        </customErrors>
        -->
	</system.web>
</configuration>
