  3. Expand Sites on the console tree, right-click the IIS Web site that corresponds to the Web application zone on which you want to configure Basic authentication.
  4. In Features View, double-click Authentication.
  5. On the Authentication page, select Basic Authentication.
  6. In the Actions pane, click Enable to use Basic authentication with the default settings.
  7. In the Actions pane, click Edit to enter a realm name.
  8. In the Edit Basic Authentication Settings dialog box, in the Realm text box, type the appropriate realm and click OK.



What is “realm” in IIS authentication :

Copy-paste from:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4896305/what-is-realm-in-iis-authentication-and-how-is-it-related-to-ssl-certificate-p
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617#section-1.2

The realm directive (case-insensitive) is required for all authentication schemes that issue a challenge. The realm value (case-sensitive), in combination with the canonical root URL (the absoluteURI for the server whose abs_path is empty; see section 5.1.2 of [2]) of the server being accessed, defines the protection space. These realms allow the protected resources on a server to be partitioned into a set of protection spaces, each with its own authentication scheme and/or authorization database. The realm value is a string, generally assigned by the origin server, which may have additional semantics specific to the authentication scheme. Note that there may be multiple challenges with the same auth-scheme but different realms.
