How to make a web page only viewable by inhouse people? Roger Smith III 11-14-2007

We have a stand alone Windows 2003 server running IIS 6 on a major corporate
network. This computer has a Local Policy configured such that people with
non-corporate ip addresses can only view pages on the web server. ANY other
access to the server is limited to computers with in-house IP addresses on
the network. This means that off-campus users must VPN into the corporate
network before they can map drives to the server, make a remote access
connection to the server or do any other work there.

We have a single web page that runs a simple ASP script, the viewing of
which we'd like to limit to two on-campus web editors (who belong to a
already configured, server local group). Initially, we thought about setting
NTFS security on the file, but this then prompts anyone not locally logged
into the server for a username and password. We obviously don't want
usernames and passwords traveling outside of the VPN, which is what would
happen when anyone outside of the VPN connection tries to view this file.

What is the best way to lock down this web page (which again contains a "web
page counter" ASP script) so that only on-campus IP addresses that are also
members of this server local group can access same?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Roger.

Hi Roger,
I can think of a couple of ways you might do this.
1) Set up a separate web site for those pages, on a different IP address. Do
not allow access to this site from outside the campus.
2) On those pages, require Windows Integrated, Basic+SSL or Digest
authentication, so the authentication details are protected.
Hope that helps,
