i have setup an IIS server which is part of our main domain.
currently i have setup integrated windows authentication to authenticate users..
but it seems that the users are checked against only the local security database.
i want the iis to authenticate the users against our domain database and grant access if its valid.
how do i do it?

thanks for the links, but sorry to say that I had gone thru them earlier...
first thing is completely useless since its from microsoft's manual which is to be reffered only in ideal situations..never useful otherwise
second link requires me to add a piece of code in each and every page, atleast thats what i got from it.
this will not do good to me in any way..
i'll try to put things in another way...
i have my intranet webserver running iis, win2k advanced server.
i want the employees to access the pages from any intranet enabled machine.
but before they access the page, the browser/server combination should ask for his/her windows password and proceed only if its valid..
how do i do it??
right...if you please read it once again, may give you some idea
Configuring Basic Authentication
Enabling Basic authentication does not automatically configure your Web server to authenticate users. Windows user accounts must be created and the NTFS permissions properly set, as described earlier.
To properly authenticate users with Basic authentication, the Windows user accounts being used for Basic authentication must have Log On Locally user rights. This right must be assigned because Basic authentication impersonates a local user (that is, a user physically logged on to the server). By default, user accounts on a Windows primary domain controller (PDC) are not granted the Log On Locally user rights.
Note You can change the requirement for Log On Locally rights by using the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI). For information, see the LogonMethod reference in the Active Server Pages Guide.
You must select a default logon domain. For more information, see Setting the Default Logon Domain.
Caution The Basic authentication method transmits user names and passwords across the network in an unencrypted form. A computer vandal could use a network monitoring tool to intercept this information. You can use your Web server's encryption features, in combination with Basic authentication, to secure user account information transmitted across the network. For more information, see About Encryption
i tried this thing...
i tried to login using my domain account on the webserver. i was thrown out saying i am not allowed to login from this machine....
i checked the local policy and domain policy using the dcpol snap in and local policy editor from the same machine. there the logon locally right is assigned to domain users..
but the effctive policy for this is not checked...i cant see how to enable it
(PS: i wish to use only integrated login)
right, you said webserver is part of domain.

i think i am clearly telling that i want to use integrated auth. i have explicitely deselected basic authentication.
>>To properly authenticate users with Basic authentication, the Windows user accounts
>>being used for Basic authentication must have Log On Locally user rights. This right
>>must be assigned because
using the local security policy editor, i added the domain users to allow local login right. but the checkbox "log on locally" is not available next to it.
whenever a domain user tries to log in, the error "your account prevents you to log on locally" appears...

hey folks, the problem seems to be solved...
i had enabled "shutdown pc when security audit log fails" policy.
and while the pc was restarted, the win2k had bombed with a stop error and registry key was present in an unclean manner due to this.
i cleaned it according to the above kb art. and now i am able to log on using my windows login...
need to test it further. i'll post the details in a short while...
