In your .NET Framework SDK documentation, paste the following address:
ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDKv1.1/cpgenref/html/gngrfidentitysection.htm

Otherwise expand: Reference -> Configuration File Schema -> ASP.NET Settings
Schema -> click <Identity> Element

The explanation seems pretty straightforward to me. If it is unclear, please
post again.

Thanks

Cheers
