selective domain authentication

is it possible to allow users access the website anonymously i.e. browse pages and content without being prompted for a nt login name and password AND ensure that they have to enter domain credentials only when they access 'specific' pages of the website? i.e. the user should be able to access the homepage and other content without any authentication but could need to authenticate to a domain to post in the forums? any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: selective domain authentication

typically if you are talking about prompting in the form of the IIS login dialog then you are using IIS authentication (digest or basic). I don't know of a way to achieve your goal if using IIS for authentication is a requirement. In this case IIS handles the request and prompts for credentials before any .NET code can run.

If you configure IIS to allow anonymous then configure mojoPortal to use Active Directory user will not be required to login unless they access pages protected by roles. Pages that are protected by roles will not appear in the menu unless the user is logged in either. Note that the roles are mojoportal roles not Active Directory roles.

Hope it helps,

Joe
