In Windows Server 2012, IIS8, I am trying to establish a protected directory for one of my websites. In order to do this, I understand that I need the "basic authentication" feature for this site.
This feature does not show up in the authentication IIS page for this website, or any other website I have built. (it does for an FTP site) The only two options are anonymous authentication and ASP.NET authentication, both of which I assume do not provide
a protected (username/password) directory.
When I utilize the add roles or features wizard, there is not basic authentication option. I am stumped.
Thanks in advance for help or advice.
