authentication question

Windows 2000, IIS (whatever came with win 2000)

Right now we have clients logging in to our staging server by following a link like this:

http://stage.domain.com/clientname1/
There are permissions set on that clientname1 directory so they are prompted to authenticate.



Would there be a way to have all clients use the same url and then IIS decide where they should go based on their login (which always corresponds to the folder name)?

Example:

http://stage.domain.com/
login as:
clientname1, pass whatever
then redirected (or just served content from) to http://stage.domain.com/clientname1/

Thanks!

How do they login? Via ftp? If so, you can use the isolate users option. Within the ftp folder, create a folder for the domain, and within that, a folder for each user name. I'm still working on putting a folder from within that that will point to the folder wwwroot/clientname/

No. It's all through a browser. Http.

You might be able to use asp for what you want.

There is a servervariable for auth_user or something similar, and I think this will get set when your users authenticate.

You could inspect this after a login and then redirect to the appropriate folder.
