Delphi ActiveX control that supports challenge response authentication

Hello.

I'm writing a delphi activex component that sends http requests to IIS.
The IIS is configured to challenge response authentication only, and the activex keeps getting an access denied (401) error.

How can I configure the activeX to support chjallenge response?

The thing is that I do NOT want to grant anonymous access on my IIS, since I need it to other parts of my application.

As I understood ActiveX is part of EXE, then Your problem is not ActiveX but assign apropriate permissions to users that might launch EXE containing Yours ActiveX

No, my activex is a part of a web application: meaning, it's a part of an html page. It sends http requests since it supposes to retrieve some files and handle them in a special way.

in this situation ActiveX is running in WebBrowser's security context and IIS will always treat it like Guest account unless You type valid username & password (when chalange/response is enabled and IIS cannot recognize calling user then username/password window is shown).
