Authenticate users using NTFS

[GerritR]

I made a website that should only be available to configured users on my webserver.
When I remove the I_Usr_ rights from the directory the username/password popup comes up and I can login as administrator, but it will not know where to go from there.
When I only remove the I_Usr rights from index.html (e.g.) then my server says that it cannot find the file, but does not display the user/password popup.
I then created a sub domain that points to a directory with default document set to index.html and in this index file only a rerooting to the index.html in the other directory where my website is.
In this case it asks me to log in, but when it rerootes it forgets who I am and says again that it cannot find the file.

Anyone have a idea how to solve this problem?

Set the security config of the web site to require a username and password.
