Publishing Top Site with Publishing Subsites, FBA and Anonymous access

Asked By: Ray Jimenez Date: Apr 27, 2010 Category: Sharepoint Views: 628

I have inherited a SharePoint application whose architecture is structured with a publishing site as the top level site and all subsites are also publishing sites. The web application I am working with is set up on the internet zone and configured to use FBA. It is an extension of a web application on the default zone

All subsites are inheriting permissions from the parent. I have anonymous access turned on, configured and working on the top level site. Anonymous access does not work for the subsites. Since the site will ultimately be a public facing internet site, anonymous access must work for most subsites, with a few requiring users to login via FBA.

Is this a bug or do I simply have a site structure that isn't recommended? I have also tried breaking permissions inheritence and explicitly setting anonymous access on the subsite. This also does not work. Any thoughts?

You have probably found the issue already, but have you checked to see if the subsites have been published?

When you create a Publishing site in Moss you will need to remember to 'Approve' the content. Most of the time you may get a security error in the case of a master page not being approved. In the case of subsites, you will need to approve them after you create them.

This situation is not really a case of anonymous access. Anyone who is logged in that does not have contributor rights or above will see the same issue.
