I need to protect files in a directory on IIS4/IIS5 so that only users who 

have successfully authenticated against a Netscape LDAP server can access 

these files.



I know that I can write something in asp to authenticate users against the 

LDAP server. This can be done by writing some asp to consume a COM written 

in C or Java which connects to LDAP server. I have successfully done this. 

Or the asp can use ADSI to bind the user to the LDAP server ( although I 

still have not managed to achieve this ).



The above mechanism works very well to protect files which are Active 

Server Pages. My question is how could I protect files other than asp like 

html, xls and pdf etc.



Thanks,

ISAPI filter? (and turn off anonymous access). We have something similar

here for authenticating against some kind of RADIUS server. I don't really

know the specifics of how it works though...



Cheers
