4. Process Outcome:

Default User Authentication has been defined for the selected Farm, Site, or Scope.

• The authentication settings of the Farm will be inherited by all Sites (as long as the inherit option, in the Site, was not disabled).
• The authentication settings of a Site will be inherited by all the Scopes it contains (as long as the inherit option, in the Scope, was not disabled).
• The authentication settings of a Scope will determine the authentication behavior of all the thin clients it contains.
