FN-FORUM: IIS Password protection system for web pages

date posted 6th January 2006 16:16

Hi

Im looking for a simple off the shelf piece of software that will allow me
to password protect web pages, word docs, pdfs etc on an intranet.
The intranet will run on a Windows server with .net and probably IIS6.

I would like to organise content by folders and then password protect those
folders. Different users would then be issued with username/passwords and
depending on their access levels would be able to access folder 1 but not
folder 2. The web pages and words docs could then be stored within those
folders.

I need a simple admin system so my client can manage the users easily and
issue new passwords.

On a linux server this would be dead easy as I could use htaccess - but does
anyone know the easiest approach for a windows box?

Many thanks
