Author Intranet File Permissions Using Active Directory

I have a question regarding using IIS to host a Intranet site for my company. I am wondering how I could use our Active Directory to set permissions to certain sections (files and folders) in our intranet.

I have fooled around with the file's security settings, allowing only 1 user to access it and when I try to view the page, I get a log in dialog box. After attempting to log on with the correct user, it just displays the box again and again. Is there so
mething I am missing?

Basically, I want to designate who has access to what on the Intranet's site using our existing Active Directory. Is this possible? If so, could you point me into the right direction as far as how to set it up?

Thanks,

Justin

a) Open the IIS Manager, and for the Intranet website (or folder, or
whatever), right-click, choose Properties, and goto the Directory Security
tab. Disable "Allow Anonymous Authentication". Enable one or more of the
other authentication mechanisms

b) Using Windows Explorer, locate the folder/files that you wish to secure,
and change the NTFS permissions. The users/groups who should be able to
access the resources should have Read (RX) permissions (to read files). If
they are updating files, they will need other permissions (such as Write, or
Delete or whatever)

c) When authenticating, ensure that the appropriate domain is used as part
of the username, eg:
Domain\Username

Cheers
