Restrict CF site

I have a ColdFusion 8 (on Windows 2000) web application on our Intranet. Everyone has to use their Windows Network login to get into the Intranet. I would like to restrict who can view the ColdFusion web application so only 10 specific people can use the site.

Is it possible to restrict the site based on the persons Intranet username login? Please advise how I can do that where the person logs into the intranet network and be allowed to use the restricted ColdFusion site based on their intranet login.

    Yeah, I just wanted to make sure that it was understood what "*Windows*
    Integrated Security" implies.

    It can be surprising how many people will wonder why their Mozilla
    Browser does not pass the Windows User Name silently like their Internet
    Explorer browser does.

    Not sure why you are not getting values for the CGI variables. Are you using #CGI.AUTH_USER#?

    Is your site set up for integrated authentication (checkbox) in IIS?

    after a user authenticates w/the server, see what the CGI vars REMOTE_USER or
    AUTH_USER have in them. or setup a group on the IIS server & only allow access
    to the cf website/dir from that group.

    Thanks,

    I never get any values for the CGI vars such as REMOTE_USER or AUTH_USER so I would rather try it with the IIS server access.

    Can I allow access on the IIS server to the cf website/dir by indiviual intranet login or does it have to be by a group
