I've just joined this organization after having been out of the MCMS
game for over a year.  What they want is to use anonymous access for
an existing site that is currently configured for the intranet by
changing the name in DNS and enabling anonymous access.

Therefore, I have two sites currently because I want both sites up
before I take the existing intranet site down.  Host header mapping
isn't enabled but it shouldn't be necessary because I don't need two
MCMS sites, the content is the same, I just need two IIS Web
Applications; both of which point to the same content.

Anyway, the web app with anonymous (and nothing else enabled) throws
401.2 errors when attempting to access it in IE.  The NR and CMS
virtuals also have anonymous.  The guest account has been enabled,
assigned, and given subscriber rights and in the SCA.  The
authentication mode in the web.config is set to "none."

I'm sure I'm missing an obvious piece to this puzzle but I'll  be
damned if I can figure out what my problem is.  I am going though an
ISA server to expose the site outside the firewall so theoretically
that may be my issue but given that no authentication should be passed
through the reverse proxy, it doesn't seem likely.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

stoo

Hi Wes,

is the subscriber rights group you added the guest account to assigned to
all channels, resource galleries and template galleries?

Cheers,
Stefan
