ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
"Note If Anonymous authentication is enabled, IIS will always try to authenticate by using it first, even if other methods are enabled. If Anonymous authentication, Integrated Windows authentication, and Basic authentication are all selected, Integrated Windows authentication takes precedence over Basic authentication, after Anonymous authentication."
