Hi
I have a special website area which uses login script to give member-only access. This sets a cookie which is then checked on all the protected pages.

My question is, I have a number of documents in a directory within this protected area but I cannot add the cookie check to them. How can I protect the directory from being browsed to unless the user is logged in? I don't want to use a seperate login for the directory as it needs to be seamless for the user else I would just add a challenge and response to that directory.

Is it possible to get IIS to recognise if a cookie is set for a directory? I have read something about pass through authentication but it was very clear.

I use IIS5 on Windows 2000.
I cannot use IP restriction as this needs to support many users.

I look forward to your responses - and please make it as simple as pos ;~)
 
This question has been discussed in this forum very nicely. You may get a better idea of how to accomplish this by doing a keyword search and see what others have suggested.
Thanks,

Gabe
 
Not really having a lot of luck finding this post you have mentioned. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
