Key metadata and intent for this policy.

Category
Google > Google Chrome > HTTP authentication
Supported on
Microsoft Windows 7 or later

Supported OS tags: Windows7

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.
