It is actually quite simple: Solution 1) Put ACLs on the .php files and IIS will request authentication. After authentication, the script runs as the authenticated user.
If this is not desirable: Solution 2) Go into the configuration for the the site (or virtual directory) and select the "Directory Security" tab, Edit the "Anonymous access and authentication control" settings, and chnagethe anonymous user name and supply a password. This solution requires some up front thought. You may not want the entire site to use a privileged account - so perhaps this needs to be on just a virtual subtree of the site. Or a particularly bad solution: Solution 3) There are ways to change users with tools such as "su" - but this forces PHP to be in CGI mode and the need for clear text passwords in an on disk file somewhere and that will almost certainly not be desirable.
