Is it possible to apply Basic Authentication on a page in IIS 5.0 when the local path is pointing to a FrontPage web? I know it's possible when the local path is pointing to a specific folder on the server but how about when it's pointing to a FrontPage web? Any help would be appreciated!

Yep, go into your IIS Manager. Click the alias of the site you want basic authentication to apply to. Go into directory security and disable anonymous logon and enable basic authentication. Hope this helps, Jeremy

Thanks but I've already tried that and it doesn't work. It comes up with the login box but when the user enters in their credentials the second time they can still access the page. The problem I think is that because it's pointing to a FrontPage Web and not a local folder in IIS. Thanks anyway.
