It's not specified... it depends on the circumstances.  AFAIK it'll use
kerberos if it can (if you're authenticated to an active directory server)
otherwise NTLMv2, but it's extensible and there are other protocols
possible - eg. public key authentication.

There isn't much more to learn, unless you start reading the msdn docs on
it... :)
