SharePoint 2010 - Anonymous Access

[faza]

Hi,

 

I have a SharePoint site which has two sites sharepoint.xxxxx.xxxxx and sharepoint.xxxx xxx/staff. Our sharepoint site is hosted by our LA so we can access the site from home. We have used Alternate Access Mappings to perform this.

I would like the root to have anonymous access but the /staff site password protected. I have gone to Content and structure logs and advanced settings on the root site and enabled anonymous logon but it is still asking for a password. I have changed IIS to anonymous then the site comes up with an error. I have also performed the setting within Authentication Providers.

 

Hope you can help

I think you'd need to give permissions to everyone to view the page - as standard, it'll still be following its list of acceptable users in the user manager.

I have set authenticated users to read is that ok?

Surely guests are unauthenticated?

That is correct

 

I am just trying to get my Demo Rig Loaded so I can give you more precise instructions as i can't bloody remember now!

 

On your site, do you now have an Anonymous Tab where you can configure options? i.e. Top Level Page

Yes i have turned that on.

I have resolved this issue I needed to enable Digest and Anonymous Authentication on the website within IIS.

 

cheers for all your help and support.
