I have created an employee webpage with a lot of company info, links, etc., but I want to protect the page because it contains some confidential company information.

I am running IIS7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2, and I already have the site setup as a normal, non-protected site. I want all active directory users to have access to the site. This is not an intranet site, it is exposed to the internet.

I tried setting it up using Windows Authentication, but I had problems with multiple login prompts, etc. I just want a simple form for users to enter their credentials and have access to the site, and I need it to query the AD for login.

I've searched the web for a guide on this, but I can't seem to find one that fits my situation. This is not a Web App. It is just a simple html site.

Does anyone have any suggestions or a link to a guide on this?

Thanks so much! -LB
