iis security:

[quoted text, click to view]

Once the browser authenticates, it continues to browse as the authenticated
user, regardless if subsequent resources allow anonymous access.

authentication steps???

Hi,

We have a 'mixed domain' with NT4, W2k and W2k3 servers, NT4,W2k and XP
clients, IIS 5, 5.1 and 6, IE5.5 and 6.
All our web apps use Basic or Integrated Authentication.

I am wondering if it would reduce the OS/network load if I made a lot of the
resources (eg gifs, pop-ups, includes etc that don't need to be secure)
'Anonymous Access' .

Can someone tell me, or point me at a resource which will tell me, the
different steps gone through to authenticate a client request for a secure
resource and an anonymous access resource?

Thanks if you think about this.
