Allow Basic authentication for HTTP

Supported on: Microsoft Windows 7 or later

Registry

HKLM Software\Policies\Google\Chrome

HKCU Software\Policies\Google\Chrome

Value name: BasicAuthOverHttpEnabled

Enabled: BasicAuthOverHttpEnabled = 1

Disabled: BasicAuthOverHttpEnabled = 0

Description

Setting the policy to Enabled or leaving it unset will allow Basic authentication challenges received over non-secure HTTP. Setting the policy to Disabled forbids non-secure HTTP requests from using the Basic authentication scheme; only secure HTTPS is allowed. This policy setting is ignored (and Basic is always forbidden) if the AuthSchemes policy is set and does not include Basic.
