Mixed security sharepoint sites and customization

Asked By: Dontae Rosa Date: Aug 31, 2005 Category: Sharepoint Views: 183

We are trying to set up a SharePoint site that will mimic an existing
external web site. The site has public areas and secured areas (requiring a
login/password). We'd also like to add personalization to the site so that
once someone does log in, they no longer get the public version of the site,
but a version that gives them access to everything based on the group they
belong to.

I've experimented with making the default site anonymous, but that becomes
an issue when someone who wants to log in and make changes - they really
don't have a place to "Log In".

Any ideas on this? I would like to make the entire default site anonymous,
and provide a"Log In" link that would ask for their windows authentication.
Once they have been verified, they would essentially "switch" to the secure
site and see all the links they have access to.

This is the default configuration of WSS. When you first browse to the
home page you will see a "Sign In" button. If you don't click it you
will proceed as the anonymous user. If you click it, depending on your
IE settings, you may be automatically logged into the site or you may be
prompted to enter your credentials as if you had come to a non-anonymous
site.

I've started going down the "Sites only" path to implement this, so it
looks like I'm not far off.

How does the security model change with both WSS and SPPS? I tried
navigating to http://localhost/SiteDirectory/default.aspx directly
when I first launch the client browser, but it still prompts me for
the user/password. (I don't have anonymous access turned on - is that
why?).

Probably, try enabling anonymous access in IIS and SharePoint Portal
Server and see if it works the way you expect.
