That's the way I have it set up for my production work system. It can be a little tricky (or just unfriendly) because unauthorized users will get a blank page / bad message instead of something informative. Assuming you have your repository set up with a CVSUsers group that has permission to it, you can set ViewCVS as follows: 1) Alter permissions on ViewCVS virtual directories to only allow the same set of users (e.g. no IUSR_machine user allowed). 2) Go into IIS console and change the security to only accept NT integrated authentication (or basic also, if you like). It's a bit coarse, but it works. That restricts non-users and still allows CVS users to view. Note that TortoiseCVS doesn't like it -- it can't scan and find it because of the authentication required -- but if you manually configure your Web Log URL then it works fine (NB, I haven't verified that with later releases and haven't reported it as a bug since I didn't think about it affecting anyone but my group). If I missed anything post the details and I can go back through my notes and check. -- Glen Starrett
