Because IIS uses NT password authentication, you'll have to interact with
the NT account manager and with file ACLs from within CF to make this
happen. For the NT account side of things, there are several options, such
as Lewis Sellers' CFX tag and several ASP COM objects which work in CF. As
for setting ACLs, you could do that using CFEXECUTE to call CACLS.EXE or
XCACLS.EXE.
There may also be some third-party alternatives which allow you to manage
web access through a text file-based system.
