In the Web.config file this piece of info is there

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>

What other mode can I set and could I have multiple modes?

Some users could logon using username/pass, others with x509 clientCert.

Where is there some info on this?
