Disable integrated windows security while browsing on localhost

I am developing an intranet MVC3 application that will be used by both domain and non domain computers.
Everyone has a domain account so whenever a non domain computer is to open the website a windows credentials prompt input box is expected to appear.

If i understand correctly this will be standard browser behavior since they won't pass windows credentials to a website unless they are in the same domain.
The problem however is that whenever i debug on my localhost i am in the same domain as the server(since i am the server obviously). This results in me being "logged in" with my workgroup windows account in stead of my domain account.

What i'm looking for is a way to trigger the prompt box so i can use my domain account to login rather then to get useless access with my workgroup account.

You can use Forms authentication with the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider.

Take a look to this tutorial on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998360.aspx and this post: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326340/en-us (sorry it's VB code).

Addendum: if you want just to test another user credentials you can use impersonation, just set-up your web.config.
