I'm on W2K w/ IIS5 and was curious if there was a way to authenicate a user to only visit certain sites? I have a couple different site for my clients that access via an HTTP://IP/SITE NAME but if they find out the other site names they can access that too. I want to restrict that capability to their specific site. Is that possible with IIS or do I need a 3rd Party Vendor involved?

Michael,

I would suppose it's possible to "control" access with NTFS permissions (That's what I do on NT4 with IIS4). If each site corresponds to a folder in the wwwroot folder, you can restrict access to a certain site (read folder) with the correct NTFS persmissions. On others, you just don't give that specific user(s) access to that folder. They won't be able to access that site.

Hope this helped!
