We are having problems using IIS and ISAPI\_reverse proxy to mongrel for  
our login page. It appears as thought the cookies aren’t being passed  
or certain info doesn’t match.

Is it possible to use NTFS permissions to secure certain portions of the  
app? I have tried applied more strict permissions on the app contorller  
I am trying to secure, but is doesn’t prompt for credentials.

Is this possible? If not anyone have any insight on why my login page  
isn’t working?
