Enabling basic http authentication in IIS on Elastic Beanstalk?

For a demo site on Elastic Beanstalk, I'd like to enable basic authentication in IIS (not in the app, but instead have IIS handle it). I can't find how to configure IIS to do this - you don't seem to have much access to IIS configuration itself. Any tips on that appreciated, or if I'm missing the boat here.

thanks!

You need to use ebextensions to customize the server.

Create a yaml init.config file inside a folder called .ebextensions in your web application root. Set the contents as follows:

container_commands:
  00-iis-features:
    command: dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-BasicAuthentication

Read more about ebextensions here Also, see my answer here https://stackoverflow.com/a/42336644/1165140 on how to modify root IIS config.

Hope this sorts you out.
