Author Granting Access to intranet on IIS 5

I have an Intranet running on Windows 2000 IIS 5 with FP2002 server
extensions installed. What I need to do is restrict access to this intranet
to only certain user accounts on our domain, not all domain users !

How can I best acheive this ??

I have looked at setting up user accounts and roles within the server
extensions admin, but when a user who does not have an server extension
account trys to access the site it prompts for user name and password. If
these details are typed correctly access is granted (i.e. if the user has a
domain account they can gain access)..

Any advice would be appreciated.
Many Thanks
Davey

Hi,

One way (usually the best way) is to use NTFS permissions on IIS server.
Change these NTFS permissions on folder where your intranet content is to
only allow certain users read permissions (or write if they need them). Note
that you have to e.g. remove "Authenticated Users" from the list since all
domain users are Authenticated Users.

IIS will always honor NTFS permissions.

Set NTFS permissions to keep them out.
