# SOAPAuthentication

A Boolean value that specifies whether the engine authenticates against the XProtect authentication server instead of passing credentials to the XProtect recording server.

To ingest video from Milestone XProtect Corporate, you must set `SOAPAuthentication=true` and set the parameters `NTLMUsername` and `NTLMPassword`.

To ingest video from Milestone XProtect Enterprise, you can configure the ingest engine to authenticate in any of the following ways:

- NT authentication against the authentication server (`SOAPAuthentication=True`, with `NTLMUsername` and `NTLMPassword`).
- Basic authentication against the authentication server (`SOAPAuthentication=True`, with `BasicUsername` and `BasicPassword`).
- Basic authentication against the recording server (`SOAPAuthentication=False`, with `BasicUsername` and `BasicPassword`).

If you set `SOAPAuthentication=True` you might also need to specify the authentication server to use, with the parameters `AuthenticationHost` and `AuthenticationPort`.
