title: IIS Password prompt for given folder ASP.NET MVC
body: <p>How can I configure IIS to prompt for passwords on a web application running on ASP.NET MVC in IIS?</p>
  
  <p>I want to password protect the <code>Views\ApplicationLog\</code> folder, so that browsers ask for username and password when users try to access this folder.</p>
  
  <p>How could I accomplish this? Can this be done directly from IIS, or do I need to set something in web.config?</p>
  
  <p>Please try to be thorough, I don't know IIS all that well.</p>
