## Remarks
8080
The <xref:System.Net.NetworkCredential> class is a base class that supplies credentials in password-based authentication schemes such as basic, digest, NTLM, and Kerberos. Classes that implement the <xref:System.Net.ICredentials> interface, such as the <xref:System.Net.CredentialCache> class, return <xref:System.Net.NetworkCredential> objects.

> On Linux platforms, use of NTLM authentication may require installing the NTLM plugin for the GSSAPI layer used by the implemention. On Ubuntu distributions, the package is called `gss-ntlmssp`.

This class does not support public key-based authentication methods such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) client authentication.
