Re: Basic Authentication for only one special user



Hi,

Chris is correct. Authentication is the process of identifying the user.
What you want to do is deny the user access to things based on their
identity: that is authorization.

So, there are two ways to do this:
a) if you just want to prevent access to files, use NTFS permissions. Give
that one user access to the files, and deny access to other users

b) if you want to prevent the ability to actually "logon", then you can
change the local security policy of the server (Start -> Run -> Secpol.msc)
and change which accounts are allowed to logon to the server.

Cheers
Ken

Hi,

I have a Win2003 Server with IIS 6 in an intranet environment and i want
to
use basic authentication (that works fine) and only one special local user
to be able to log in.

can anybody describe me how to do that?

Thanks a lot
