ASP.NET Development Server with Basic Authentication

Question

Anyone aware of how to get the ASP.NET Dev Server to challenge for basic authentication credentials instead of assuming my current login?

Answer 1

If using Cassini then according to paragraph at bottom of this link - Limitations of the Cassini Web Server, you cant.

If using IIS, then update IIS authentication.

In IIS,

• in the virtual directory of your site right click on your virtual directory,
• select the Directory Security tab
• select Edit button next to Anonymous access and authentication control
• uncheck allow anonymous and integrated windows authentication
• check basic authentication
