How password protect ClickOnce URL while still allow app to update?

[Ronald S. Cook]

We have our app deployed so that users may download from
www.oursite.com/ourapp. But how can we password protect or do any sort of
security on this?

One of our developers has argued that ClickOnce is too basic and we should
use a 3rd party installer. But I'd like to see if we can make ClickOnce do
this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron Cook

I haven't tried this, but I see no reason why you could not use Windows
Authentication with IIS on the vRoot / page that serves the ClickOnce
install.
Or even, put in an ASP.NET page with Forms Auth that redirects to the
Publish.htm page on successful authentication, no?

P.S. ---
They have an MSDN2 page with a section at the bottom that deals with this
specific issue. It's pretty close to what I had posted, with a bit more info:
