MS IIS Security Question

[Mota331]

In MS IIS how do you setup a username and password promt so people can't get into certian parts of a website without having a username and password.

If this isn't possible can you tell me what webserver program gives you this option?

Thanks

Yah, there are multiple ways. One of them from the IIS MMC:

-Open up the IIS Manager, go into the properties of the web you want to configure this on.
-Go into the Directory Security tab.
-Click on Edit, and do not allow Anonymous access. There are a few other settings in there that can be tweaked to your liking.

Good luck!

Yeah I got that far and I have 1 directory protected but how do I assign usernames and passwords to that dir so only certian people can get into it?

Right click on directory, properties, security. Add exisiting accounts that need access in there. Lemme know if that helps.

Yeah I've been there to and I still can't find anything. I goto directory security and then I uncheck Anonymous access and then if I click the edit button another screen comes up and tells me to select 1 user and pass. and then farther down I check the plain text password and then I click edit and it wants a domain. What am I doing wrong?
