Windows server 2003 login

[Dark_Angel]

Hey,

While this may have a few elements of web based development, I am pretty sure the major problems are windows permission based - hence why I placed it in this forum

This may be a little complex to explain, so if something isn't completely clear please let me know so I can try to clarify for you.

We have a dedicated server in the US which we are renting, the idea is to serve a program to users across the world - the program uses IIS / an internet browser to do this.

We are trying to use the tickbox "Integrated windows authentication" to secure the directories, but there are 2 issues:

Problem 1 We (as mentioned) want to have the program secured using windows logon prompt, so not just anyone can access it. Problem is that if we put in the ip:8080\program (if this was the ip URL it would look like 44.44.44.44:8080\app) :8080 specifying obviously to use that port, then there is NO logon prompt what so ever. Indeed, it just leads you to full access of the program.

Problem 2 When accessing it without specifying port 8080 (therefore just having the browser use port 80 I would assume) so the url is (example) 44.44.44.44\app then the windows login prompt appears. BUT for some reason no matter what username and password I enter (including the admin one!) it tells me that I am not authorized to access this page.

Does anyone have an clues ?

Thanks in advanced.

Going to start -> run -> cmd -> systeminfo

It tells me:

Host name: PASS
Domain: Workgroup
Logon Server: \\PASS

Tried typing in pass\administrator and the password, and still telling me the same thing.

No AD is not setup :/

Start -> run -> dcpromo to start the setup.

It is telling me that (under domain controller type)

"Domain controller for a new domain"

or

"Additional domain controller for an existing domain"

Ideally I do not want to nuke the settings I have for IIS at the moment, since obviously the program itself is now in a start of working.

WOuld doing the active directories setup damage this (I would chose a new comain controller ?).

I am not really so great with active directory, but I work at a smaller company so I usualy handle most of the IT stuff /puts learning cap on.

Can you recommend something that would do the trick ?

Something like a PHP login script would have been ideal, but because the program is stand alone, this won't work :/

As mentioned I am not too great in the area of things, but at least if I know the direction to go I can research it/get help from my webhosts or something
