Allowed Authentication Methods

check the Boxes for the authentication methods you want to allow most of the clients should provide BASIC and DIGEST. The server is sending the allowed methods to the client. The client should use the secure one (here DIGEST). But if you want to be more secure and may disallow some old clients authorized access uncheck BASIC.

Realms

The realm value defines the protection space. You can have a lot of Users in a realm.

Users

add Users to a specified realm.

Regarding that the maintenance service have a realm but no default users defined. That is for security reasons to avoid an accidentally setup of a server that have the default password. If you want access to the maintenance service dont forget to add a user to the realm of the maintenance service. For a standalone application you can create a settings file for the server and start the webServer from that file.
