iis security: Sonia,

Use Integrated, create local accounts...
If you need to publish the site indiscriminately you might want to use basic
auth as not all proxies maintain a session state required for NTLM...

If you'd rather not create local accounts, you could use an ADAM instance
and write your pages to use ADAM as the authentication source, I don't know
of a way of using IIS to authenticate using anything other than local or
domain accounts... This might be possible with ADAM (?)...

IIS 6.0 Authentication against a text file

Hi all,
I am setting up an environment with IIS and I found a big problem (at least
for me...). As far as I know, all the Authentication that the IIS does is:
Anonymous, Basic Digest, Windows Integrated, or Client Certificate mapping.
Servers in the intranet are allowed to use any of these authentication, but
the problem is within the DMZ:
1. There is no Active Directory.
2. We cannot force the client to use a certificate.

I would like to know if there is a way for the IIS to perform the
authentication against an encrypted text file, for example, or any other
alternative...

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Sonia.
