Setting the default document in IIS

I have a web application running in IIS, which if I go to localhost:85 in my browser I get a 401 error saying '401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.'

If i go to localhost:85/default.aspx , it will redirect me to the log in page as expected.

How can I make it so that by default if I go to localhost:85 (the root directory) , it will take me to default.aspx automatically.

I tried setting the default Document in IIS to Default.aspx, but still it doesn't do what I was hoping it would.

Can someone please tell me what I need to do to to have iis automatically go to default.aspx if the user doesn't ask for a specific document?

You can do as mentioned below.

Go to IIS.

Click on your Website.

Select Default Document Option >> From the action pane click on add button.

It will open "Add Default Document" Dialog Box.

Here, you can add default.aspx as your Default Document.

This is how you can set your Default document page.

After the default webpage is added, press the Move Up button until it's in first place.
