    Default Windows User Directory Security bypassed?

    :confused;Using IIS6 under Windows 2003 with CFMX 6.1 When a cfm script file is
    located in a windows security restricted directory, the user is prompted for a
    login (user/password) prior to access. However, any user/password combination
    for that computer is accepted even when the directory is restricted to a
    specific user or usergroup. A html file in the same restricted directory works
    correctly, only allowing the specific user or group access and denying all
    others. If the url is just a directory reference (i.e. relies on the IIS
    default filename to resolve to a cfm script file), then user security works
    correctly. This seems like a rather large hole in CF security. Is there a way
    to implement user based security so different users have access to specific
    directories?

    But it's IIS handling the security (ie: the user login screen). What SHOULDN'T
    be happening is that IIS shouldn't be handing the request off to CF if the
    authentication isn't validated.

    It's not CF's job to handle website security: if it receives a request from
    the webserver, it'll fulfil the request.
