BasicAuthOverHttpEnabled

Allow Basic authentication for HTTP

Supported on:

• Chrome (Windows) since version 88

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.

true = Basic authentication is allowed on HTTP connections
false = Non-secure HTTP connections are not permitted to use Basic authentication; HTTPS is required

Supported features:

• Applied to browser without restart. Note that some ongoing tasks may not be affected.
• Applied at Samsung Browser level, cannot be set by Cloud user policies.
