My answer comes probably too late to help you, but it may help other people.

I met the same issue, and adding the 'enforce-valid-basic-auth-credentials' tag seems not to be enough.

Then, I added this flag via WLST :

connect('weblogicUser','weblogicPassword','t3://localhost:7001')
edit()
startEdit()
cd('SecurityConfiguration/Your_Domain')
set('EnforceValidBasicAuthCredentials','false')
save()
activate()

(Do not forget to edit with your weblogicUser, weblogicPassword, weblogic url and your domain in the 'cd' command...)

And after restarting my server, I looked in the config.xml file, and another tag has been added. Now, my config.xml file looks like that :

    .........
    false
    true

............

But this use-kss-for-demo tag may depend on your weblogic configuration. So I strongly advise you to use the WSLT way to update this flag.
