title: Password Protecting an Azure Website not just via Web App Form
body: <p>I have a beta web application which I want to password protect. I would like to lock down the whole folder as one does in IIS which then force the username/password popup. I have done this with my previous shared host on IIS7. However now that I have migrated the site to Azure Websites, I cannot find a method to do this in Azure.</p>
  
  <p>All feedback, that I have read, on this seem to say that it is forms authentication only. Is this true, or is there a way to password protect a complete Azure Website?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>I do authenticate within the web app, since this is a requirement of the web app, but I want a simple password protection over all of this that was external to the application.</p>
