You could create a user account for each user and then configure the web
server to allow anonymous access for the website you want to allow anonymous
access to and then require authentication for the other website. Also you
can have anonymous access and require authentication for a website and
anonymous users will only be able to access folders where they have
permissions. If a user tries to access a folder that is restricted then the
user will be prompted for credentials. Authentication methods can be basic,
digest, and integrated. They all have there own advantages and
disadvantages. Basic authentication for instance sends credentials in clear
text which can be protected with a ssl connection while digest
authentication requires that the server or Active Directory store passwords
with reversible encryption. The links below explains more. --- Steve
