Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
Select Authentication in the right-hand menu
Select "Anonymous Authentication" and click "Disable" on the far-right side menu, then select "Windows Authentication" and click "Enable" in the far-right side menu. When complete, the authentication pane should look similar to this:
If you don't see Windows Authentication in that list, don't panic... it is not installed in IIS by default. You can add the Windows Authentication Role Service with these instructions from Microsoft. http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/security/authentication/windowsauthentication/providers/add

Now you need to tell the FiM Server to use AD Authentication. This is a node to be added to the web.config file called authenticationmethod. Make sure you specify the default instance. Using the 10000 default will be fine for most cases but you will get an invalid licensing warning otherwise. An example of this is in the full web.config file seen below:
