Hi,
I'm new to IIS.
I am trying to set up a website
private.mywebsite.com
and have it accessible by our personnel out in the field via VPN.
I need to make sure that if an ordinary person out on the web types in the address
private.mywebsite.com
in his browser window, he gets a 404 does not exist error.
Even when our employees try typing this in, they should get an error.
However, when they use the VPN software to connect to the servers (we're using Windows in-built VPN features, and are not going with third-party providers), after connecting, if they type in the address in their browser window, they should be able to get in.
How exactly is this set up in IIS7?
Somebody mentioned to me in another thread that this is done by enabling Windows Authentication, and I tried it, but it didn't work. All it shows is an option to enable or disable that feature, but doesn't give any other options to restrict access to specified
credentials.
And after the person logs in using VPN in the manner I describe above, is there a way in ASP.Net for me to determine the identity of the logged-in user and the windows domain user group(s) he belongs to?
