Password protection for hosted site on Windows server with IIS 7.0 - HTML Forums

carriesbd · 03-12-2008, 03:18 PM

I am creating a new website on a hosted Windows server with IIS 7.0. I need to be able to use password protection for some of the sub-folders. Previously I was able to use FrontPage in the past for this, with a limit of 3 usernames and passwords, but now with IIS 7.0 I can't.

If someone could help with this, I would appreciated it. I believe it is possible using ASP, but I am a novice.

thanks!

Do you have access to the IIS interface? I haven't got a chance to use IIS 7 yet but in IIS 6 you would go to the folder you are trying to protect inside of the IIS console, right click on it and select properties, and then go to directory security which would give you various password and other restriction options. See if this helps you at all:
