Website security

[ksuohio]

I've just started to work with Microsoft's IIS 5.0 and was creating a personal web page for fun and a learning experience. I was interested in setting up restricted areas on my web site, but I have no clue as to how to proceed. In general, how do you setup restricted areas and where are the access levels maintained. I'm sure there are various approaches, so any advice would be helpful.

Alright, sorry for how long this took before you got a reply. I've been majorly busy lately, and this would be a rather lengthy reply.

But I found a nice link to point you in the right direction, so I don't have to do all the gum-flapping myself See here:

I believe this is based on IIS 4.0, but it works exactly the same for IIS 5.0 too.
