Authentication options on Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)
If you are configuring Microsoft IIS, select only the Basic (Clear Text) authentication option in the WWW Services Properties for the Web server. If you select the Windows Challenge/Response authentication option, end users who are not running Internet Explorer receive an authentication dialog that they cannot satisfy, preventing them from starting an installation. This prevents end users from using any other Web browser with your application.
Note: Basic authentication uses a well-known encryption algorithm for user names and passwords that provides minimal security.
