Hey all,
I'm trying to find a way to secure directories on a web site without using
Integrated Windows Authentication. I know there are a number of different,
but somewhat similar ways of securing it, but I was wondering if there might
be a way to secure a directory through the use of a SQL database and a table
with a bunch of user names and passwords.

My problem is that I have a client that is trying to gain access to certain
rescources on a website that I manage and their firewall blocks the windows
authentication message boxes, so they cannot login in essence. Any help would
be appreciated!

You can't secure a directory outside of Windows, but you can secure
access to any web pages this way.

Use Basic or Digest Authentication. Basic should pass firewalls and I
haven't had Digest held by proxies or firewalls either.
