I am building a site using ASP.NET MVC 2. The site itself needs to be public but the admin section should require a windows login and the user logging in needs to have local admin privileges on the server.

i.e. http://server/site should be open, but http://server/site/admin should force an admin login before proceeding.

Can this be done in code or by tweaking the web.config file? If necessary, making configuration changes to IIS is acceptable but I am trying to keep deployment steps down to a minimum.

    This turned out to be fairly straightforward:

    1. Enable Windows Authentication in IIS.
    2. Enable Windows Authentication in web.config.
    3. Decorate each action that needs to be secure with [Authorize(Roles = "Admin")].
