It's a client requirement where this level of security has to be implemented. We've been investigating all week long on this one on possible solutions. So far, it seems that we would be able to do that with ISAPI as a middle tier.

Yes, but in this case, we need to benefit of NTFS security.

Correct, nothing exist yet so far. As for IIS next version, this is not even planned. ... from what was told us by a close developer of the next server version.
