I can't seem to get Zope to do authentication.  If I disable basic and 
challenge/response and enable anonymous, IIS wants me to set a default user 
for anonymous.  I no longer get any authentication dialog and all I can see 
is Zope's opening screen.  I can't see the management interface at all (not 
surprising since I didn't really authenticate).

I have done that.
