When enabling web-tier authentication on your web server, which type of access must be disabled?

When enabling web-tier authentication on a web server, anonymous access must be disabled. Web-tier authentication is a method that allows users to access resources on the server based on their identity, which is verified by the server. Enabling this type of authentication means that users must provide credentials to gain access, unlike anonymous access, where users can access resources without any authentication or identity verification.

Disabling anonymous access ensures that only authenticated users can reach the resources, which enhances security and ensures that sensitive information is not accessible to anyone who can connect to the server. This requirement maintains the integrity of the server’s content and protects against unauthorized access.

Other types of access, such as local access, remote access, or secure access, are not inherently required to be disabled when enabling web-tier authentication. In fact, secure access may be a complementary requirement, as it ensures that data is transmitted securely over the network, especially when dealing with authentication credentials.
