We have a web site running under IIS7. One branch of the web site has SSL requirement and we want to have different directories of this brach to be accessable on a per internet user basis.
so we want
https:\\ROOT\SECTION\Port to be accessable by users within our LAN and by external user Tom with password PP123RT

https:\\ROOT\SECTION\Road to be accessable by users within our LAN and by external user Harriet with password RO321AD

https:\\ROOT\SECTION\Lake to be accessable by users within our LAN and by external user Steve with password LA567KE

and so on.

I would like to use .htaccess but .htaccess is not supported by IIS :(
web.config does seem to have a "credentials" section, but I have not been able to figure it out.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
