You can use either Directory Level Security through IIS or a CF
authentication solution. The CF solution may be difficult to transport over
to ASP (and vice versa), but Directory Level Security can really be a pain
in the @$$, and can potentially open your server up to more vulnerabilities
because you are playing with NT's security model.
Hopefully some of the following resources will help you figure out what you
need to do, or at least help you out in some way:
