Using fiddler with Windows Authentication

Question

I am testing some proxy settings for our application but I need to test a proxy that requires Windows Authentication (or network credentials).

For testing, I assigned the credential of the proxy to the network credentials

System.Net.WebProxy proxy = new System.Net.WebProxy("127.0.0.1", 8888); proxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials; //proxy.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("1", "1"); System.Net.WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = proxy; 

Currently, I use Fiddler with the Require Proxy Authentication rule turned on. How can I configure Fiddler so I can use the Windows credentials instead of the default "1" / "1" credentials?

In Fiddler 4.6 I can turn on "Automatically Authenticate" under Composer -> Options. My WebAPI hosted in IIS using Windows Authentication is then successfully called. You can see three requests in the log for a single call.
