JetBrain Rider , Access denied when using IIS Express with Windows Authentication

Question

I have an enabled Windows Authentication on my projects. When I run it from Rider, it always prompts me "access denied". It's working fine when I run it via Visual Studio.

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

Navigate to: <project>.idea/config/applicationhost.config

Find the tag <authentication> and enable the <windowsAuthentication> tag like so: <windowsAuthentication enabled="true">

Mine looks like this:

<windowsAuthentication enabled="true">
    <providers>
        <add value="Negotiate" />
        <add value="NTLM" />
    </providers>
</windowsAuthentication>
