Set the value of the element useKernelMode to true in the appropriate section windowsauthentication file ApplicationHost.config.

<windowsAuthentication enabled="true" useKernelMode="true"/>

To configure useAppPoolCredentials using the ApplicationHost.config File

Open the ApplicationHost.config file in a text editor. By default, this file is located at %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config\.

For all folders under the Default Web Site location path, set the value of the WindowsAuthentication element and the useAppPoolCredentials attribute to true. For example:

<system.webServer>
<security>
<authentication>
<windowsAuthentication enabled="true" useAppPoolCredentials="true" />
</authentication>
</security>
</system.webServer>

useKernelMode has the Optional Boolean attribute. Specifies whether Windows authentication is done in kernel mode. True specifies that Windows authentication uses kernel mode. Kernel-mode authentication may improve authentication performance and prevent authentication problems with application pools configured to use a custom identity. As a best practice, do not disable this setting if you use Kerberos authentication and have a custom identity on the application pool. The default is True.
