Hi,
I'm not entirely sure what I'm even asking here so just bear with me.:rolleyes:
I work at a small company site (25 people or so). Each employee has his own folder, and each folder is password protected so the folder can be accessed only by the associated employee. All folders are on the same shared drive, on an NT server.
We'd like to set up our intranet site so a user can download files from his folder, but he shouldn't be able to see anyone else's folder in the browser. Ideally, it would be cool if we could use ASP (or something like it) to pull the user's authentication info (when he initially logs in to the site) and then somehow go directly to his folder. The problem is when we create the virtual directory in IIS manager, we have to assign a password to every single user's folder, separately from their existing NT login/password. We can't seem to create a group or anything.
Is there anyway that all these folders can be properly restricted to their users without duplicating existing authentication info? Is it possible to somehow share the whole drive, then using ASP go to the proper folder?
We're using NT4 Server with IIS4.
Thanks for any help (and for possibly clarifying my own question!).
