I run an Intranet site where Anonymous Access and Basic Authentication are checked off. Users are authenticated when they log on their workstations. I want to protect a sub-directory by prompting users to enter their NT user ID and password before they can have access to this sub-directory. I understand that I can accomplish that by changing "Basic Authentication" to on. The problem I am having is that I have three different domains where the users are coming from and I can only set one domain as the default. Any idea how to solve this?
Do you have ‘Local Intranet Zones’ set for users in IE that are currently set to allow pass through authentication?
If so, I don't think you proposal is going to work as you hope, just restrict the ACL's on the folder in question and only the users listed will be allowed in (no prompts unless there unauthorised in which case they get a chance to re-authenticate as somebody else).
