How to securely publish a Click Once application

I want to provide a small Click Once application to a small number of
selected users, when the application is published on an otherwise public web
server (I don't want everyone to have access to my application).

My first solution was to setup a virtual directory (the publish location)
with "Anonymous Access" turned off - setting up a special username and
password for it which I give to my selected users.

The users then 'log on' to the initial install page, and install the
application. However, subsequent running of the application should check
for any updates - but because the update location doesn't allow anonymous
access, the application fails to log on and assumes that its offline, so
continues to use the initial version, never downloading any updates.

What am I missing? How can you securely publish a Click Once application to
a public website?
