"Username & Password Authentication is Required" is checked for http downloads on the Distribution Point, yet no authentication prompt appears on connection. Can't be right.

http downloads - no authentication

Checking that box within the JSS, web interface, tells Casper to pass the given credentials to the distribution point when a client needs to connect. If the distribution point isn't setup to require a password, checking that box won't change that. You need to have the web server on your distribution point setup to require a username/password.

+35You enter the Username & Password used to authenticate in the window where you've ticked "require username & password."
That way, the JSS uses those credentials to connect to the distribution point.
