# Programmatic Considerations for Passport Authentication

This topic is under construction.

In order to enable Passport the AUTH_FLAGS property in the metabase needs to be extended. The individual bits of this property represent the authentication methods that are configured for a particular URL.

New settings:

Bit | Authentication Method | Value
--- | --- | ---
1 | Anonymous | 0x1
2 | Basic | 0x2
3 | Windows Integrated | 0x4
4 | Digest | 0x8
5 | Passport | 0x10

Passport is only valid together with Anonymous authentication. Values greater than 0x11 are invalid.
