Description

CredSSP can be used for http authentication , it may not be the best option in terms of security but it is available.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.wsman.management/enable-wsmancredssp?view=powershell-7.2

Currently suricata generates an anomaly event (REQUEST_AUTH_UNRECOGNIZED) on inspecting http auth with CredSSP that could result in millions such events in a organisational setup with lots of powershell usage for example.
