Password protecting a single page on IIS

I am attempting to password protect a single html page on my website, so
that only people I give the login/password to can access it.

Where can I find some simple instructions on what I need to do, in order to
lock down user access to a single page under IIS 6.0. I am running the
server on Windows 2003 Server Standard R2.

Thanks!

Re: Password protecting a single page on IIS

a) You need to enable one of the Authentication mechanisms that IIS supports
(e.g. Basic Authentication, Integrated Windows Authentication etc). This
allows the browser to get the users credentials to the server. You should
disable anonymous authentication

b) You need to change the NTFS permissions on the actual file. Remove the
Everyone group, and add in the users/groups that should have access to the
file.

In addition to Kens suggestions you may want to look at a freeware product
called IISPassword.
