I have been trying to figure out what is the best solution for setting up a client portal where they can log into a web page on IIS5 (not using ASP.NET) instead of using the annoying pop up box to authenticate with Active Directory User Accounts and be able to go anywhere on the site without the box popping up. I was successful in authenticating the password via login page, but when I try to go anywhere else, the annoying box pops up asking for my user id. The server is a stand alone domain controller using Active Directory.

Any advice to direct me - even an URL would be ideal - I have searched hundreds of articles but all of them fail to tell me what to do. I don't want to do a scenario where it changes the password to the same password - should there be a better solution to this?

Thanks,
