    Default CF to IIS5 authentication based on cf app userid/pass

    I have a CF application on a standalone win2k server with IIS 5. Currently, we
    use a cf to authenticate users and set session variables to allow further
    access to the site. We've just noticed that if you don't login, but provide a
    valid path to a non-cfm document (test.txt or myword.doc), that you can view
    the files. This can't happen!

    Is there anyway for me to create a win2k service account to use between CF and
    IIS so that I can lock down the directories with non-cfm files. I'd like to
    remove the allow anonymous access and require basic authentication with that
    service account - but I don't want users to be prompted for that service acct
    login.

    Is there a way in cf, that once the user logs in via cf, that I can pass the
    service account info to IIS so that they have full access to the site (without
    being prompted by IIS for that windows authentication)? such as
    auth_user/auth_password or remote_user cgi variables?
