I made some attempts to make IIS handle it, but it looks like I cannot have that at the same time as redirect based protection. So the best option might be to setup a simple login form and a single user protection within Umbraco ?
Thanks, but I'm not sure I want that - as I like to have an environment that's as similar to the live site as possible. And if the live site is using membership I think this will be a bit messy?
Protect a staging site?
Hi!
How do you protect a staging site from unwanted visitors, so that the browser demands a username + password before anyone can access it at all?

@sitereactor & @elspiki wisely adviced me to simply restrict access by IP-address. Doing so now.
