Author anonymous access and integrated windows authentication

I noticed that when both Anonymous Access and Integrated Windows
Authentication are enabled, AA takes priority over IWA. Is there any way I
can reverse that order? I have some functionalities available for the users
who have been authenticated through IWA. If they are not authenticated, then
I would like to have these functionalities disbled but still want them to
access and navigate the site.

Hi,

This is by design and as far as I know can't be changed. If anonymous is
selected then it will always be used first. If you disable anonymous end
enable multiple authentication methods (e.g. IWA and Basic), IIS will first
try more secure method. If this fails it will try less secure method (e.g.
basic)...

Then there's no point for enabling both anonymouse and IWA together since
that would be as same as enabling only anyonymous, correct?

Hi,

In general yes, but this would also not allow access to any restricted parts
of your website to your administrator since he would not be able to
authenticate.
