force login for a section

I have created a section intranet. I want to force anonymous user to log in but only for this section.

How can I do this?

Thanks for your help

Thanks for your answer. But if I do that, the node associated with the section doesn't appear anymore in my menu....
Why?.... I suppose it is because the anonymous doesn't have access to it...
How can I make it appear?
THanks for your help

I add the folowwing policy:
content read Section( Intranet )

I can see it in the menu, but it doesn't ask for login (which seems quite correct for me as I just add the right to read the content....)
So I suppose I didn't add the right policy. Can you be more precise on the policy I need to add?
Thanks

the issue is, theres no way to force a login, if the user can already see the conent (theres simply no point).

So as David mentions, you need to do something like add a link to that content so that it appears in your menu.

If you put all your restricted content in a new folder, then its only that folder you need to add a link to, call it members area or something like that perhaps.

The next hitch I guess is that once you are logged in, the menu will show both the link and the restricted folder. You will need to edit the menu template (if you are using one of the default ones) to get that to work I think OR copy the folder class, and use that for your new folder the reason for doing this is that unless you put it in the appropriate settings file, the new class wont show up in the menu (I opt for the new class).

hope thats of some help
