Hi,

I know that I can host multiple sites from CMS using map channel names to
host headers, but I don't know how to configure separate web applications fo
r
the two sites.

Here is my scenario.  We currently have an Internet site (CMS 2002) that
uses forms authentication, we would like to add an Intranet site using a
different domain name and use windows authentication for this site by having
a separate web application for the Intranet site with a different web.config
file.

My question is, is this even possible?  From looking around, it looks like I
can't have two authentication methods to the same CMS instance because for
the Internet site I have to allow guests and I think that for windows
authentication to work you have to not allow guests.  I just want to verify
this.

If this is not possible then I guess I will just have to use forms
authentication for my Intranet site.  But if this is what I have to do, then
I am confused as to whether I should be using the same web application as I
do for my Internet site or create a new application in a new virtual
directory that contains the templates, user controls, etc for the Intranet
site.

Thanks,

Angela Kaczmar

Hi Angela,

What you would need to do is create multiple IIS virtual servers - either
bound to host headers or different IP addresses.

Then in the SCA set them up as "read only" or "read/write".

Then you can set the permissions on the IIS virtual server easily.

Regards

Hi Angela,

that can easily be done!
Ensure that your template project are not located in the root of your
website (not recommended anyway).
Then create two different template projects for the two different virtual
servers in the same IIS website.

That's all! As the web.config of the template project will be used with the
project you now have different web.config files for each website if you
ensure that the correct template objects are used.
This can be achieved by having separate template galleries for each site.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Angela,

to use windows authentication you need to remove anonymous access from the
template project virtual directory.

Cheers,
Stefan
