Turn off / Disable windows authentication for asp.net-mvc

Question

I created a new asp.net-mvc project and during setup I chose to use Windows Authentication.

Now I like to turn it off(at least for a while).

I changed the web.config to this

 <authentication mode="None" />

But that does change anything. It will still prompt me. I am using the IIS Express.

UPDATE: I mean it still prompts me when using Firefox. Internet Explorer will continue and not show my domain username

Answer 1

1.) Close VS

2.) Remove the .vs/config or the .vs folder next to your solution. The IIS Express regenerates the config/applicationhost.config file. Changing this file does NOT help - it is regenerated

3.) Edit the <project>.csproj.user file. There change the lines

<IISExpressAnonymousAuthentication>disabled</IISExpressAnonymousAuthentication>
<IISExpressWindowsAuthentication>enabled</IISExpressWindowsAuthentication>

to

<IISExpressAnonymousAuthentication>enabled</IISExpressAnonymousAuthentication>
<IISExpressWindowsAuthentication>disabled</IISExpressWindowsAuthentication>

4.) Edit and change the web.config Change

<authentication mode="Windows" />

to

<authentication mode="None" />

or comment the whole authentication XML element.
