I have a general question on how to manage user accounts and passwords to certain sections of our webpage. We are moving from an apache server to Windows Server 2012. We have a backend web page that manages the usernames and passwords for our customers using htaccess. I would like to know if their is something available for IIS 8 that would allow us to manage that information using a backend web page. I would like to be able to create groups for the directories that require authentication and add users to those groups easily. What would be the best way to do this?
Can someone point me in the right direction?
