Basic Authentication not found in IIS 6.0

Question

For Sharepoint Central Admin to work I need to enable Basic Authentication in IIS 6.0 http://community.bamboosolutions.com/forums/p/2287/2881.aspx For some reason I am not able to find it in IIS 6.0 on my machine.

I See only Anonymous authentication, ASP.net Impersonation, Forms Authentication.

Any thoughts?

Are you running Windows XP/Windows Vista or Windows Server? – BinaryMisfit Jul 14 '09 at 10:54 — BinaryMisfit, Jul 14 '09 at 10:54

You need to be admin on your machine to change this setting. If you are, follow these instructions and you should be fine.

You may not have installed all the authentication components for IIS.

Go to add remove programs -> Add remove windows features

there under IIS i will recommend you to check all the options and install a fully blown iis server, however if you can understand what each element means, you can check the components which will add all the authentication features for iis.
