Hi,

a) To require a user to type in a username/password, you can just disable
"Allow anonymous access" in the IIS Manager, and check "Basic
Authentication"

b) To create users (and groups) you can use the Computer Management MMC
located in the Administrative Tools folder

c) Probably the best way would be to create a group that has access to the
site, then create individual user accounts, and put them into the group.
Locate the folders/files for the website on your hard disk, and remove
permissions for Everyone, and add permissions for the group in question.
This means that users will need to authenticate -and- only users in the
group that you created can access the content (other users, who do have a
valid username/password on the system, will not be able to access the
content)

Cheers
Ken
