IIS password protect documents

Recommended Posts

I want all html documents in a folder to be password protected. In other words, IE and Netsape users must enter a username/password to access any document placed in this directory.

 

I managed to get it work by making the directory only viewable by one user account, but the username/password only worked for IE users. Netscape browsers could not view these pages. Any solutions?

If you switch from NTLM to clear text/password, it should then permit Nutscra..., err, I mean Netscape users authenticate just dandy.

How do you do that? W2k help wasn't very helpful on this topic.

Set the NTFS permissions on the directory in question, and then set the directory security mode in IIS to clear text password:

 

1. Open IIS Console

2. Expand the site in question and right click on the desired directory, then select properties

3. Select the Directory Security tab

4. Select "Anonymous access and authentication control"

5. Select "Basic Authentication", while clearing "Anonymous Access" and "Integrated Windows authentication"

6. (Optional) Edit the "Basic Authentication" and enter the NT Domain name (or workgroup name) either directly or browsing to it

 

That should cover it.
