IIS7 Setup Integrated Windows Authentication like in IIS6

Question

This is for IIS 7 on a Windows Server 2008 that is not part of an AD domain   I would like to password protect a website  where people have to enter a username password  a windows account for example  to view the website   The website would then use its own authentication method  forms  to handle user accounts and decide whether or not to show member specific pages  etc    With IIS6  we just disabled anonymous access and enabled integrated windows authentication   IIS7 behaves differently and when I enter the windows username password to view the site  the site comes up fine but redirects to the login page   Once I log in  the site behaves naturally  I need to be able to navigate the site without logging in with the website credentials   I don t think enabling anonymous access would make sense here since I want access to the website to be password protected  popup username password dialog when you first navigate to the url    Any help is appreciated

So do you want them to get the IE password-challenge box  or should they be directed to your login page and enter their information there  If it s the second option  then you should at least enable Anonymous access to your login page  since the site won t know who they are yet   If you want the first option  then the login page they re getting forwarded to will need to read the currently logged-in user and act based on that  since they would have had to correctly authenticate to get this far

Two-stage authentication is not supported with IIS7 Integrated mode   Authentication is now modularized  so rather than IIS performing authentication followed by asp net performing authentication  it all happens at the same time   You can either    Change the app domain to be in IIS6 classic mode     Follow this example  old link  of how to fake two-stage authentication with IIS7 integrated mode  Use Helicon Ape and mod auth to provide basic authentication
