copied!<p>I am by know means a hosting guru and I imagine there are ways and means of doing this but my personal opinion is that what you are talking about doing is defiantly an unnecessary security risk. If this site is to be available on the internet i.e. it will have public access then you probably don't want to disable anonymous access in IIS.</p> <p>Please remember that the idea of being able to configure the anonymous access for a site in IIS is so that you can create a user which has specific permission to read the relevant files for a particular site. What we are talking about here is file access on a physical disc. For one thing a public web server should be in a DMZ and not part of your companies domain so users should not be able to log in with their domain credentials anyway.</p> <p>The only reason why I could imagine that you would want to switch off anonymous access and force users to input their Windows credentials is for a site which will only be used internally and even then I would probably not choose to restrict access in this manner. </p> <p>If you want to restrict access to content on a public website then you would probably be better of writing something which handles authentication as part of the site itself or a service which the site can consume. Then if someone were to obtain user credentials then at least all they will be able to do is gain access to the site and there is no potential for a breach of your internal network by any means.</p> <p>There is a reason why developers spend allot of time writing user management solutions. You will find plenty of advice on how to write something like this and plenty of libraries that will do most of the work for you.</p>
