Microsoft IIS with integrated NTLM security is not compatible with WebSphere Application Server Global security

Technote (FAQ)
Problem
Microsoft® Internet Information Services (IIS) Web server with the NTLM authentication protocol is not compatible with WebSphere® Application Server global security. After you enable WebSphere Application Server global security, the Web application does not work.
Cause
WebSphere Global security does not allow the NTLM credentials to be passed to the application.
Solution
To allow the Application Server to run, disable server level security so it does not conflict with NTLM security.
