This functionality is not built in to IIS natively.
I am sure what you want to do is possible if you felt like writing an ISAPI
application for IIS to use, or a third party product. But it isn't built
in...
You might be able to embed the username and password into the link (like
this: http://<username>:<Password>@www.yahoo.com), but it would not be
secure, as all the person would have to do is look at the code to get the
password.
HTH!

Subject: [windows2000] IIS authentication
This may be slightly off topic, so I apologize in advance...
I have a web directory on a non-AD Windows 200 webserver. This =
directory is below the web root. It contains temporary files (Adobe =
form files (.fdf)). I would like to put an acl on this directory and =
direct users to a file in this directory with the authentication =
happening without the user knowing, credentials included in code. (I =
want the page that directs them to these temp files to be the only way =
to get there, so a malicious user can't read the temp files). SO my =
question is if a directory or file is password protected is there any =
way (some kind of object) to automate the logon process... i.e. not have =
the username/password dialog box pop-up. I would appreciate any help... =
I hope I explained this thoroughly. And the reason why I want to do =
has to do with the way Adobe forms work.
