The easiest way to add basic authentication to web.config with user / pass

I am configuring Azure API Management using ASP.NET WebApi 2. API Management recommends setting Basic auth between the API proxy and ASP.NET WebApi to ensure that WebApi is only accessible through the API management proxy.

(Of course, OAuth tokens will be sent with requests for "real" authentication, but I will add this later.)

With that in mind, I really don't want to implement Basic auth in the application, I would like it to be processed exclusively by IIS through Web.config.

How to configure my web.config to run basic auth with username / password stored in web.config?

I tried to follow this article ( http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/122408-1.aspx ) but didn't have much luck.

This question does not answer, but they probably ask for a similar thing: web.config single-user basic auth

Other answers I found here include adding authentication inside the application that I don't want to do.

Here is my Web.config:

I am sending a request with PostMan with the following headers:

Authorization: Basic dGVzdDp0ZXN0
Content-Type: application/json

But all I get is page 401.1 from IIS.

What am I missing?
