Allow Basic authentication for HTTP

If you enable or don't configure this policy, Basic authentication challenges received over nonsecure HTTP are allowed. If you disable this policy, nonsecure HTTP requests from the Basic authentication scheme are blocked, and only secure HTTPS is allowed. This policy setting is ignored (and Basic is always forbidden) if the 'AuthSchemes' (Supported authentication schemes) policy is set and doesn't include Basic.
