Hi,
I have an application running on Webserver (eg., http://abc.com/app)
and the files related to it on another server (due to certain
constraints). The requirement is to have this site NTLM protected and
have users belonging to a certain NT group to access it.

The NT group has permissions on the folder. I am unable to get the IIS
configuration right to do this.

Platform details:
IIS 6 on Windows 2003 and application server on Windows 2003.

I've done all the basic stuff and checked it manytimes over. Any
pointers would be appreciated.
TIA

If you are attempting to have IIS pass the user's credentials through to the
remote file share, then you'll need to use either (a) Basic -or- (b)
Kerberos. NTLM will cause you to run into a double-hop authentication issue.

This is worth reading:

Thank You Ken. It worked using the Basic Authentication. :-)
