Using Windows Login for web folder

Hello,

I'm having difficulty with setting a single folder to use Windows
Authentication (maybe that's not correct terminology, but windows user name
and password login) . It seems I get all or nothing and no authentication
window using IIS5 (I believe it is). This is an administration folder that
I'm trying to secure and I don't really want to do a bunch of ASP.net work
to do this. Is there a tutorial somewhere or can someone give me some
pointers on what I need to use Windows Authentication for this folder?

Thanks!

Hello,

If your use Integrated Windows Authentication, IE will automatically
authenticate if the website is in the Intranet Zone. Perhaps that is why
you do not see the logon prompt?

To secure a folder, you need to remove IUSR_Machinename (or whatever you
use as anonymous account) from the NTFS permissions of the folder, and
make sure that Integrated Windows Authentication is enabled (basic
authentication can also be used, but i would not recommend it if you can
use Integrated Windows Authentication).
