Hi, I have a public IP running on windows 2003 and I have two web servers running on this machine one is apache and the other one is IIS. Now, I like to implement such security that either somebody is calling IIS website or Apache web site in both way, the system should ask for Active Directoy user id and password. I have no idea how to implement that, I m not the networking expert can you guys please guide with detail.
