1. To handle and authenticate http://username:password@server format. i.e. authentication details are provided in URL but not in HTTP request, instead the credentials are provided along with domain name
It was really time consuming for me. It took around 2 weeks to get the final solution. Being a programmer and not system administrator, it was really hectic for me to get it done. But finally, this is done.
Solution: Basic Windows authentication should be enabled for the server/domain in IIS. Anonymous authentication should be disabled.
