Setting Basic Authentication in IIS

For the Active Directory user validation to work for CMS Console logins, you should set up proper authentication method for your website in IIS:

1. In IIS Manager, expand the website folder structure.
2. Select the subfolder ~/Composite on your website.
3. Open its Authentication configuration.
4. Enable Basic Authentication.
5. Disable all the other authentication methods.
