What authentication scheme are you using?
Jun 12, 2019 07:30 PM|rkrex|LINK
windows authentication
Jun 12, 2019 08:23 PM|mgebhard|LINK
rkrex windows authentication
Did you select "Windows Authentication" as the authentication scheme when you created the project?
If not, add the highlighted following configuration to the web.config.
<system.web> <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.7.2" /> <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.7.2" /> <authentication mode="Windows"/> <authorization> <deny users="?"/> </authorization>
Then click on the project in the Solution Explorer. In the properties window, disable Anonymous Authentication and Enable Windows Authentication.
