Create a protected directory on the server that is only accessible to users
logged in to a particular group that you create on the NT box, say
'AccessGroup', using coldfusion you can dynamically create users on the NT
system using the following example:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/serviceware/iis/iis40/e9zui3abh.asp
You can log in people using the cf NT authentication process (see the
manual) and viola.. all the resources are protected via NT security, which
is about the best you can do using an NT box...
This is the proper way to do it, but personally your recomendation to use
cffile would probably be what i would do for a low budget project.
