Question

Integrated Windows Authentication, IIS6, website security

Asked by: hiswebteam

I have 3 locally hosted websites (intranets) all browsable by anyone (we support multiple organisations on the same network). One of the site now needs to be made secure, so that only one organisation can view it, I.e. it can only be viewed by members of a certain Active Directory security group. I don’t want to prompted for a logon popup so I am using Integrated Windows Authentication.

The websites are all on the same webserver and are separated by using the host headers. The website is hosted on server1 in the folder:

c:\inentpub\wwwroot\website

In our local DNS the web server has been set so that it resolves to xww.website.com. I have set the permissions on the website in IIS so that the allowed security group has read and execute permissions. I have also removed the anonymous access tick and selected integrated windows authentication.

When I try and browse the site, either by UNC (//server1/website) or by URL (xww.website.com) I get a username and password dialogue box, dispite being logged on as a user in the correct Active Directory security group.

Greetings

We have a similar setup for parts of our Intranet, and it works beautifully. Sounds like an NTFS permission issue. Verify that the users you want to access the site are in the ACL of the website folder.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply DHildebrand, we have checked and double checked the permissions, and all seems fine.

Hmm... I'm not familiar with your configuration, but perhaps you could use IP/Mask or Domain restrictions. That would be a bit more cumbersome, but it would take care of your needs.
