Author restricting access in IIS6 with NTFS

Hi,

I am trying to restrict a simple html web page (no written security around
it) to a subset of the domain users. In IIS, I have de-selected the Anonymous
User and selected Win Integrated.

For folder permissions where the html page is located, I have an Admin group
and a User group. The User group contains NT Authority/Authenticated Users
(S-1-5-11), NT Authority/Interactive(S-1-5-4) and a list of users that will
be allowed access.

When I try to have someone not in the list of specific users, they can bring
up the page. Is this b/c of the NT Authority/Authenticated Users (S-1-5-11),
NT Authority/Interactive(S-1-5-4)? Does this allow all users on the domain to
access the page? And if so, can I remove them?

Thanks,
GCF

This really isn't an IIS question. It's a basic Windows ACL question.

If you want to restrict access to a resource to a certain subset, then you
should only have the ACLs for that subset on the resource.

In your case, it is "Authenticated Users" that is allowing additional users
access. Interactive relates to how a user logged onto the server; IIS does
not use interactive logon.

However, if a user that is NOT in that subset can log onto the server
machine itself, they will have access to the content. This is why physical
security is also important for a server...
