Does anyone know if there is an equivalent to .htaccess and .htpassword for IIS ? I am being asked to migrate an app to IIS that uses .htaccess to control access to sets of files in various URLs based on the contents of .htaccess files.

I did a google search and didn't turn up anything conclusive. Is there a general approach or tool that I need to purchase that provides this capability ?
