When trying to hit the Web API endpoint via postman and javascript from a visual studio web project I get the error

401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

I do not understand why credentials are required as the ASP.NET MVC Web API application deployed to Azure has no authentication configured.

below is screen shots of the network tab in the chrome developer toolkit enter image description here enter image description here

Additionally below is a screen shot of postmon (with the URL removed for privacy).

<authentication mode="windows">
