Once you are properly serving through IIS, you can go to the IIS
administration panel and set security for a directory or a page. How you
set it is different with each version of Windows & IIS so I can't tell you
exactly how to do that.
On Win2K, here's what I do: Start=>Settings=>Control Panel=>Administrative
Tools=>Internet Services Manager. Right-click on the virtual server you
want to protect (its name will match your Tomcat context name) and select
Properties. Look for the Security properties. Un-check "Allow Anonymous"
That's it. Security is now enabled for that context.
What this does, is it causes IIS to issue the NT Challenge/response (did I
say that right?) and if the user isn't logged in to a valid domain, it pops
up the username/password box. Your Tomcat programs read this as
request.getRemoteUser()
