Tables in my database that have the users and roles.

When I publish my application with Visual Studio 2019, I usually publish to a Folder and then push the files to my website folder on IIS 10. In IIS Manager, I was looking at the Authentication settings for my Site and these are the options.

I was looking at the Authentication settings for my Site and these are the options.

If I use ASP.NET Core Identity for Authentication and Authorization, which of these settings do I need to Enable or Disable for my website?

Or

Is there some other Setting that I need to set on my website so I can use ASP.NET Core Identity?
