This is interesting:
I want everyone to have full access to my CMS site with editing permissions,
etc. (Please do not question me about security - I know the reprecussions.)
In IIS, when my CMS site has Enable Anonymous Access UNCHECKED and Integrate
d
Windows Authentication CHECKED, I am prompted for a username/password.  I
enter a valid pair, enter my site, and the "Switch To Edit Mode" link
appears.  However, in IIS, when my CMS site has Enable Anonymous Access
CHECKED (using IUSR_<machine_name> ) and Integrated Windows Authentication
CHECKED, I am NOT prompted for a username/password, I go right to the home
page but the "Switch To Edit Mode" is NOT visible.

I want the site to go to the homepage WITHOUT being prompted for a
username/password and I want the "Switch to Edit Mode" link to appear on eac
h
page.

What do I need to do?

TIA,
Adam

Not totally sure it will work (you may be the first person to do this), but
try Enabling Anonymous Access and in CMS Site Manager you’re your anon
account Editor access: WinNT://<machine_name>/IUSR_<machine_name>

You may need to add the CMS server to the list of domains (in the Server
Configuration Application) if you use a domain controller.

This sets anyone logging into your site to an editor.

David,
I tried your idea.  It didn't work.  I do want everyone to be able to enter
edit mode.  Any other ideas?

Adam

Hi Adam,

unfortunatelly what you are trying to achieve is not possible.
MCMS only supports anonymous access for subscribers - not for authors.
Authors or higher have to authenticate against MCMS to gain the required
priviledges to author the site.

Cheers,
Stefan

Stefan,
Thanks for the reply.  What if, in the page load of each aspx, I used the
CMSApplicationContext.AuthenticateAsUser method and passed in a user who was
an author.  How would that help?

I appreciate you telling me it cannot be possible, but I can't buy that yet!
:-)

Hi Adam,

that will not help as this context will not be used by Webauthor.
Webauthor only uses the CmsHttpContext.

Cheers,
Stefan
