Check Allow anonymous access to folder to allow access the directory without authentication.
Check Use NTLM security to use NTLM password authentication when accessing the directory.
NTLM password authentication is a secure form of authentication because the user name and password are not sent across the
network. Instead the user's browser proves its knowledge of the password through a cryptographic exchange with your Web server,
involving hashing. See the IIS documentation for more detail.
NTLM password authentication is currently supported only by Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 2.0 or later, and may not
work over HTTP Proxy connections.
