If you don't type the username and password, you are actually doing
pass-through authentication with the logged in users. it depend on what auth
mode you use, for anonymous if will be iusr, if basic or iwa it will be the
user you entered.

for pass-through to work, you need a same user account in the UNC box,
either in local or domain. because remote system will check the account
againts the ACL -
