securing the file manager using windows security is not functioning as desired.followed all the instructions in book. pg no:134
what could be the possible solutions.

Could you post the code? I don't have the book.

this is not about code, perhaps it is about a module known as filemanager which is built successfully. the only problem i have with this module is i need to give priviliged access to administrators only.

present scenario is anyone can access this module because my root directory is configured to run in the context of IUSR_MACHINENAME. as we know that IUSR_machinename is the default user created by which every anonymours can access the website.

what i am trying to do is give the access to only administrators by setting permissions in the security tab of my virtual root directory.

hope u understand the problem and give the possible solution to this

help appreciated

You're have to set IIS to use Windows integrated security if you want to pick up the user's windows account.

This will only work on an Intranet where your administrators have a windows account.

Otherwise you can just set up forms security on this module, so it will work like all the other modules. This would also work across the Internet.
