passing un/pw to IIS from ASP...possible?

<i><b>Originally posted by : keith (kbabb@ffwdgroup.com)</b></i><br /><br />Is there a way to pass a login/pw to the IIS server so that IIS doesn't prompt the user for that login with a msgbox?<br /><br />I am trying to lockdown a particular directory to exclusive users but don't want IIS to popup a dialog/login box.<br /><br />I have added a user to the box for IIS to recognize and have stripped permissions from the directory for only that user (plus admin). I only want ASP to "auto" login the user instead of having the user fill out the info in the dialog box.<br /><br />I am passing the HARDCODED user info in the script itself. I am just wondering what the procedure or command is to do this, if it's even possible?<br /><br />Any suggestions?
